About a quarter of the page visible on load and four clicks to clear out the banners. What is this nonsense.

A number of people have asked about supporting me recently. It's not something I ever really looked into.

However, if you do feel you want to buy me a coffee, I've setup a page - patreon.com/kevquirk

You can also get a little more info here: kevq.uk/about/buy-me-a-coffee

Thanks all, this really is an incredible community!

Not sure if we have any other aquarists here?

Today I bought 2 new “giant armoured shrimp” for my shrimp tank. For reference, the 2 red shrimp to the right are around an inch long.

The big boy would just about for in your hand. I LOVE THEM!

I wrote a post about how online tracking works. I hope even those who aren't that interested in will find this useful.

It seems that in every photo from our wedding, I have a beer in my hand. No wonder I was so drunk! 🤣

So I just got through watching my talk at SouthEast LinuxFest. In the moment, I though I did absolutely terribly but, after the fact, it's not actually that bad.

The video starts about halfway through my presentation but it goes over buying a domain name, choosing a VPS provider, some considerations to keep in mind, and a bit about setting a server up with CodiMD. The demo kind of falls apart but I improvised!

@caltlgin posted a link earlier and I've gotten a few emails and messages from people saying how well I did so I thought I would just share it myself :blobwink:

Sorry for the edit and repost. Somehow, in copying the URL, I removed the last U 😅

I think it's important to have a Free alternative, or people that want to take advantage of this kind of technology will have no options.

Hey @jlelse I just read you post about replying with another posts (link below for others to go read it).

I’m interested - why have you chosen not to implement comments on your site? For example, I could have out this question on there.

...however I would put be asking this question if comments were there! Mind blow! It’s too early for this, where’s my coffee? 😁

I've been working on a new post for my blog that requires some diagrams. Holy shit, it has taken me HOURS to do them!

Hahaha. I was just sitting here, wondering if it would become a thing (like LMGTFY) and, sure enough, someone did it. 😂

Bad Influence.... 

We got the Wedding photos back today. I won't bore you guys with all 500 of them, but here's one of us both that I think is quite nice.

Can anyone recommend a good dummies guide to ? I’ve used it, but never learned it.

Lots of recommendations for Newpipe. Thanks guys, but I’m on iOS.

Fuck offfffff! I get this shit every time I open the app. Doesn’t matter how many times I dismiss the message, it just keeps coming back.
