  Very disappointed that the Assisted Dying bill didn’t pass. I can’t believe that any of those who voted against it have ever been in a situation where they have had to watch a dying loved one writhe in pain. It’s cruel and heartless not to have legal options (obviously with sensible safeguards.) We don’t let animals suffer, so why humans? #ukpol #AssistedDying

  Upgraded my #3Dprinter to add the Canvas module which can switch between 4 different spools of filament (I should have bought the combo pack to start with). I know its incredibly wasteful for multi-colour prints if the colours change lots of times on each layer, so will try not to use it too much it for that sort of print - but for prints where the colour changes once or twice then that’s fine. I just want all the colours now! Doh! #3dPrinting

  Two years ago we got a free sofa from some neighbours for our playroom. We decided recently that we wanted to get rid of it again and replace with a table for homework and craft. Put it on the road WhatsApp group and another neighbour three doors up needed a sofa so it’s gone within 30 minutes! Result!

  I’m increasingly having to remove my glasses to read things like my phone and books… 😩🥸

  Odd, my Unifi Cloud Gateway ethernet cable link to the ONT dropped from 2.5GbE to just FE. Reseating both ends of the cable fixed it, next time I should check if it’s one end in particular.

  Can I just check… is it the law to make your first 3D print a Benchy? Printer is arriving today! Yay! #3dPrinting

  My daughter got one of those 3d printed dragons in an egg and now wants a 3d printer… My wife has practically agreed we should get one! So what should I get?

  I think I’m just about done with Premium Bonds - I have a relatively decent amount in there (but not near the maximum) and I used to regularly get a monthly prize. This past year I’ve got much less back. #premiumbonds

  Hmm, can I rebuild a Debian machine (currently an unused proxmox server) that has no monitor, keyboard or mouse with a combination of these two… 🤔 https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/amd64/ch04s04.en.html https://github.com/philpagel/debian-headless My current main “server” is a Raspberry Pi 4 which has various Docker services, but things would probably better running on the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 which is largely unused. #debian #homelab

  Ooooh BOGOF on .uk domains (and .co.uk and .me.uk) at @krystalhosting Must resist random registrations! I don’t really need any more even though finding something super short is tempting!

  Looking into using #Podman rather than #Docker for my new home server build. Any tips? #homeServer #selfhosting

  Grrr, child 2 left the children’s fitness tracker she got for her birthday last week from her Grandad in her school cardigan pocket and it went through the wash. I guess I’ll be buying a new one then.

  Having a look at our (tiny) magic club’s rules/constitution and realising it’s majorly out of date. I’m hoping I can rewrite and simplify and get it sorted for next month as to change it probably needs a formal EGM. Will try and write something in for the future that allows collective agreements via an online method to avoid the need to all meet in person! Also changing the age from 14 or over to 18 or over as otherwise we’re in safeguarding territory and we really don’t need that!

  Thanks to @kevinpowell for a fantastic course: HTML & CSS for Absolute beginners (https://thecascade.dev/courses/html-css-beginners/) which has really helped me get back up to speed with more up to date practices. Now to investigate the newer more advanced bits I’m seeing such as :root :where and variables etc… #html #css #webdev

  Ok, it’s time to prune this #ficus to make it branch. I’m just not sure how much to take off or whether to just remove the growing tip. Any suggestions?! #FicusElastica #Houseplants #HouseplantAdvice #HouseplantCare #gardening #GardeningAdvice

  Finally I can order FTTP! Now I have some decisions to make! Shame about the upload speed though. #fibre #fttp #openreach

  I relented and bought the YardForce MB400 from Aldi to keep my little lawn in check. You can communicate with it via BLE from an app, so now I’m wondering if it’s possible to configure @homeassistant via an @esphome bluetooth device to control it. Time to investigate if I can snoop on the communications and work out the commands (if that’s even possible.) #bluetooth #ble #homeassistant #esphome

  Yet again I’m failing to sleep after my 2nd night shift. Grrr! I only managed about an hours nap from 2:15-3:15 on a sofa, so why can’t I sleep now?!
