Ok, let's figure this out with SCIENCE (a mastodon poll)!
If someone calls you a "chad", is that...? 🤔
Please share. Thx 👏
So I’m sure everyone is aware of the quirky way Canadians get milk in bags. Today I discovered sugar in a carton in Spain!? Never seen it in this type of container in the UK. Is this common elsewhere?

Son just brought me his “broken” iPad. Lightning connector snapped off inside the charge port. Fixed it in a couple of minutes. He asked how I did it so fast “Did you watch YouTube tutorial? Use a toothpick?”. Close. Corn on the cob holder…
I want one of these computers that don't exist. The obvious plasticine follow-up to the IBM PS/2.
Enjoying this addition to my office. Related, I must remember to get some AAA batteries.
It's 2022 and I find myself looking for 4x4MB 30 pin SIMMs to upgrade my IBM PS/2 Model 30-286. Like you do.
Been using vnstat for years, but only just learned about the live option. It's super handy.
Today I Learned, vnstat - a handy tool for summarising network traffic by hour/day/month/year can also show "live" updating how many bits/packets are going over the wire/aether. Neato!

Albert has been in our life for nearly 6 months now. He’s fabulously gorgeous. 😽
Before last year, I had never heard of #juneteenth - commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. 19th June falls on Sunday this year. At #InfluxDB we get the next day off & access to learning materials on the topic. I appreciate this.

@ken_fallon @perloid hello chaps. Where's the source code for the hpr website? I'd like to propose a minor edit or two. :)
A decade ago... at #oggcamp in Liverpool, for some reason I had a photo taken holding a DEC VT-101, like you do.
The LMN-3 is an accessible, open source DAW-in-a-box. Pretty amazing fully open source project, built with a Raspberry_Pi . Check out this video showing it in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5UmPTttN1s

After three months of working offline, the time is drawing near for me to push the new (almost entirely re-written from the ground up) version of Vocal to the main branch. Please pardon the mess as I update documentation, clean up issue boards, and tidy up the homepage.
I think this is the lowest I've let the battery get, after a long journey today. The car was nagging me for about 15 miles. 😀 Home now and back on charge for the next mini adventure ☺️
