  @ericholscher@fosstodon.org it's so weird that it's not just a button isn't it. There is a lot of hype around cloudflare that fizzles out as soon as you try to use it properly! iirc, you create rules to block (or demand captchas) for the various categories of suspiciousness.

  When I first started playing online chess I was very amused to find that, when angry and frustrated at my poor chess game choices, I would be able to click "flip board" and presumably rage quit, throwing all the pieces in the air. #chess

  I actually enjoy chatting to Jehovah's Witnesses but it's funnier being out and the CCTV capturing them walking all the way down our steep and uneven 100m-long drive and then walking back up without having witnessed.

  Neighbour messaged to tell us the cows have got into our garden again. Confirmed with the CCTV. Does anyone know of a ZigBee-controllable cattle prod?

  I know I'm on holiday when I reach the end of my mastodon feed (first time in weeks!).

  Had a long weekend in North Wales. Drove around with a Meshcore radio device but barely saw any data. Managed to get a couple of messages back to a friend in Huddersfield but delivery acknowledgements couldn't get back to me. Looks like there is coincidentally a lot more meshcore activity in the North of England, where I live! Although I do think I need to learn a bit more about how it works as I'm not sure my testing was the best (mostly just watching the packet logs!) #meshc...

  Punching myself in the face by not reporting bugs in the azure terraform driver because I am not paid by Microsoft, but then having to keep experiencing the bugs over and over. #azure #terraform

  Weird how Microsoft, the owner of one of the biggest LLM code assistants in the world has so many reported but unfixed issues in their software projects huh.

  I'm a big fan of Rage Against the Machine but never saw them live. Luckily I was able to see the very next best thing: Nic Cage Against the Machine. A RATM cover band fronted by Nic Cage. The music was absolutely on point and while I don't really know anything about Nic Cage, the singer was very entertaining. Definitely better than someone trying to be Zack de la Rocher and most likely failing. #ratm

  If you're a techie and enjoyed the Chuck Norris memes but don't enjoy his bigotry then maybe you'll enjoy a website I made (years ago): https://www.schneierfacts.com #bruceschneier #chucknorris

  My @roastinghouse coffee beans arrived today! Roasted fresh yesterday in Sheffield and arrived today in home-compostable packaging. I've been looking out for new fermented beans since my local roastery made it a bit more difficult to buy theirs. These beans were delivered next day, a fair bit better and a comparable price. Support businesses on Mastodon when you can. Leaving the bad place isn't so easy when your income depends on it. #coffee
