  Have a spare Windows computer. Thought I’d copy some films from my Mac to it, plug it in the telly and use as a media PC. Not working on Win11 Personal. Do I have to install some sort of FTP server? Or Samba on a Windows PC? Is that a thing? Because fuck me trying to share a folder so I can push the stuff over the network doesn’t work. And I’m not purchasing a pro license.

  Celebrating 9 Nights for Damian George aka DJ Big Tunz who died very suddenly last week. He played for my son’s 18th birthday on 15th August. Today would have been Damian’s 52nd birthday.

  My @thunderbird@mastodon.online filter rules are doing a very good job. When Thunderbird is not running I see lots of “business related” emails on my phone but when I run Thunderbird the emails disappear. I send an email back informing that their email was deleted unread and so will all subsequent emails. The rules run after @spamhaus@infosec.exchange and SpamAssassin. Email is becoming useful again.

  Downloading my FaceBook data and the nuking my account. It was suspended for a good long while. Twitter in the next few days - I’ll run @cyd@infosec.exchange on it and then close my account. And finally Instagram. Facebook was great in 2008. Post that you are watching something on TV and other people would chip in and the jokes start. Nowadays you can’t be sure anyone will see it and if they do it might be hours or days down the line. Fucking useless for users, great for advertisers. I d...

  I’ve just come to the realisation that I’ve spent the vast majority of my life bored out of my nut.

  All sorts of network shenanigans this weekend. My limited knowledge of VLANs and my fantastic ability to forget things very quickly got me into trouble again. All fixed now and fully documented. Anyway. Proxmox server wasn’t responding - taking out the Ethernet cable and plugging it back again after a few seconds cured the problem. Start with the simple things first.

  I wonder why Tuchel is getting such a roasting from people who couldn’t manage running a bath, never mind an Under-7’s 5-a-side team. This includes former players who have never managed or coached. If Tuchel’s substitutes had worked and England had seen the game out, these same people would be hailing him as a tactical genius. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

  Front screen of my Pixel 9 fold has stopped working. Almost certainly a hardware failure. I flashed from @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social back to stock Android and the problem persists. It takes ages to boot now as well. Probably probing for hardware that doesn’t respond. It’s back running Graphene but WhatsApp refuses to get past the Welcome screen despite switching all the protections off. I’m not sure if that is hardware or software so the plan is to reflash to stock Android and see if What...

  Didn’t need Norway scoring. But Jude did was he does. Another 45 minutes of tension - if not longer. Possibly longer. #ENGvNOR

  @pwaring@social.xk7.net @doboprobodyne@mathstodon.xyz Step8Up.co.uk - I’ve just got off the phone with Jeeve who runs the company. I’ve used them for training and also worked as a trainer. Jeeve can do all three but isn’t sure about certificates. Plus UK based small business and all remote. I’m jezcaudle.08 on Signal if you want Jeeve’s mobile number. Jez.
