Proffalken is migrating to Mastodon

I'm going to pause posting on here whilst I work out which direction Twitter is going given the recent shenanigans. I'll be posting just as infrequently as usual over on @proffalken" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@proffalken - hopefully I'll see you there!

Hey @NOWTV and @EEHelpdesk- every September I get bombarded by you both with offers to cover the cost of watching the football for 6 months. Now that #cricket season is here, everything is full price! What's up with that? #Ashes2023

If you're in the #UK and affected by the #TwitterLayoffs, @ContinoHQ are looking for people to join our teams in #DataEngineering, #Azure, and #AWS (SC Cleared only). Get in touch if you want to know more. Good luck with whatever you move on to.

@KitMerker Paging @QuinnyPig - I have a suspicion he has "feelings" on this :D

Did you ever notice the extra L in ObservaBILLity ?

@ripienaar @heroku Amazing, thank you (as always!)

@ProfFalken @heroku Many options listed on my free-for.dev site

Sooooo, with @heroku's free tier gone and no sign of it coming back, what are folks using for #free, low-bandwidth #container runtimes with a database backend available?

I don't even know where to start with this... #GeneralElectionNow #LiztrussResign

@darkuncle Semicolons aren't missing at the end of each line (I even do this when writing python, then realise it's not needed!) DNS resolves correctly after every update

@thinkl33t @jonty Asking the important questions I see!

@jonty will they fit in the xray machine

I have been offered a number of mostly-working vending machines that need interesting homes. Would you like one? If so, where are you?

@tall_tim_n @jonty Yes! Amazing idea!

@jesslynnrose Only 4? I'd need longer than that I think!

It gets better, because I've been tracking this all day and the update from 1140hrs this morning has *literally* just shown up on the website:

The expedited postage was almost as much as the device itself, and when I try to connect to a "live sales agent" I just get told that no one is available. No phonecall, nothing.

Me: Ah, everyone is out of stock of that switch, I'll pay @Ubiquiti the extra to get it shipped next day @dhlexpressuk: We've got your parcel and we'll deliver it today Me: Great! That's exactly what I wanted! @dhlexpressuk: Oh, wait, lol, nope, not today.

@jesslynnrose I would absolutely listen to this.

@MW1CGG Fwiw @PlatformIO_Org defaults to 9600@8N1, for their device monitor command, unfortunately most of my devices are 115200 so I have to remember to change the baud rate...

Is this the most capitalist @what3words address in the UK?

SLOs explained: computers break, and that's bad. computers working together break less, and that's good. waking up the team for every broken computer is bad. SLOs let you notice when the computers might start breaking too much, and that's good.

@jesslynnrose open.spotify.com/playlist/4YWpC… and open.spotify.com/playlist/0rNn0… are my go-to lists - just random enough to fade into the background but musical enough to listen to on random

@Rucknar You're a true gent, thanks!
