Happy Monday!

7/14 days in a cone. Stanley is done with this %&#$.

Stanley picked up after cataract surgery. Still heavily medicated. Not so cheerful today!

Really loving #Personaldnsfilter on my devices. So much blocked now, even on AOSP (settings panel called out to Google?). Is there anything as simple and, dare I say "fun", for desktop Linux (preferably Arch) that anybody could recommend?

That's what over thirty kilometres of tripping about on an electric scooter costs. 4¢. #electricscooter #enviroment #transport

Been off for a bit doing AV work. Lots of Linux, streaming and noodling about with tech. Now taking a break and enjoying springtime here in Vancouver. Also: Electric scooter. Lovely way to get about! (re) #introduction

Hey minds, I have a project. A friend with disabilities has problems helping me operate the OBS streaming box. Keyboard function keys are a no-go. Ideally I'd like BIG BUTTONS. Think the big red buttons popular in office supply ads. Ideally four USB connected units. Thought of perhaps sourcing a set of USB drum pads then (somehow) triggering function keys. Any ideas? Linux based.

Let's celebrate decentralised social media with... sad dog photos?

Willy in his heyday. Big floof.

Sometimes I wonder what he's always shouting about. #catsofmastodon #caterday #willyMonster

It is ALWAYS a trap. #caterday #willyMonster #catsofmastodon

Well, #hugo has been fun. If you run it on the server you can SSH in from anywhere to make a post. Functional. But I'm finding I need a proper gallery I can upload images on the fly to, and possibly more.

Looking at a CMS or wedging in a photo gallery. To do it right I know to start writing my own, but the last time I got stuck into #Django, I ended up wandering off after a passing butterfly...

Recommendations?

Yes, I know it is not Saturday. Call it a protest regarding #time.

Willy has a bath.

Doofus having a snow day.

Wrote a quick "how to update a rolling release" post. Lessons learned the hard way with #Manjaro. Always up for constructive feedback:

Anybody up on their smartplugs?

I have a heater in my office I'd like to turn on from home. Don't care if I have to SSH into it to do so (or something like that). No android/apple devices in the house so I'm curious as to how I'd manage it. A timer would work but I don't come in every day (and don't want to waste power).
