Some info about the theme I bastardised to work with my site:

So I've just been doing some testing with a friend of mine. It seems that Facebook allows users with the correct url to browse images sent via pm without authentication.

E.g. My Mrs sends a picture to her mum, if I have the correct link, I can see the image even though I don't have a Facebook account.

Case and point; below is a link to an image I sent to a friend of mine via PM. Also, I deleted my Facebook account 3 months ago!

Ran out of chars, see next toot for link...

Some deep and meaningful thoughts whilst I was on holiday.

What do you guys think?

Some very interesting reading here - some of the Ubuntu installer metrics.

I've stopped using Nextcloud. It's a great project with great potential, but that's all it is - potential.

I feel they're trying to do too much too quickly, and the quality of their products are suffering as a result. New features, apps and tools are being added before the existing tools become what I would consider, stable.

I had lots of small issues with NC, which is why I ultimately went back to my #Synology. Like I said, I FEEL like they're doing too much.

Thoughts?

Hmm I have a Raspberry Pi going spare, might start playing with #Pleroma.

Dubrovnik! #Vacation

Because why not? 🙂 #Linus #Linux

Question: does this background make me a complete narcissist?

I think it might, but it makes me giggle.

I heard a quote today that resonated with me...

"If you look around and everyone is an idiot that you detest. The problem isn't the fact that they're idiots, the problem is you."

Good acid test, I thought.

Sooooo I've been on call this weekend, and only got one call out (lucky me). I could have been productive and done some studying, but instead I started watching "Silicone Valley" (extremely funny) and started a new Minecraft mod pack. God help me, I'm gonna fail this exam haha.

Mrs is out at a party and I'm on-call (so can't go). There's only one thing for it...ordering some Dominoes and curling up on the sofa with the dog and Netflix!

Actually...I'm thinking maybe WITH eyes might be better?

I love how the new avatar looks on my website!

OK. I've been playing around in #Inkscape AGAIN, trying to come up with a decent and unique avatar. What do you guys think of this? I'm pretty happy with it personally. :)

This bug with #Synology CloudStation in #Ubuntu has been really annoying me. Finally decided to spend some time on it and work around the issue.
