Outtahere. Will miss the inspired mayhem of people like @TheDreadShips and @forest_fr1ends, as well as the tech crowd. In the meantime, 'be excellent to each other'

Bugger. I take it desktop PCs are horribly out of favour these days, looking for an old ATX PSU for bench power supply. Related, who's got the nicest breakout these days? tindie seems thin. Want: GPIO accessible power up, 5, 12. USB would be nice. Mix of Terminal posts + screws

@TheDreadShips If you're ever considering a holiday, we've got you covered down here (I believe this is from Marvelous Maps)

@LisaForteUK Immediate booking of first class rail around the country. Leaving paper copies on the seat is a tried and tested distribution network with tiered (daily mail story) CDN. More confidential, the higher backup replication copies obvs.

Scenario: your CEO tells you they want a “Red button” option for containment in case of a ransomware attack. A drastic but 100% option to contain the spread. What gets written into the playbook? Wrong answers only 😂

@brianwhelton I feel seen

Another day and another happy customer, the new SAN will be a asset to their LinkSys wireless system we finished installing last week.

Hey @SpiritofTas, thanks for sending me a survey, but exactly which category does "getting from point A to point B" fall under?

@fignjam @Equifax Because otherwise we'd have to use that wierd crypto stuff the UK government is so against?

Hey @Equifax why can't my password be longer than 20 characters? And why not spaces? Asking in case my password is: * Stored in clear text * Stored in a database field that has a 20 character limit * Some of the basic password hashing has more characters than that #pwdhash

@hpcnotes And that's coming from an employer who was notorious for how many minutes a windows update would take ;-)

Trying to decide whose “2 minutes” is longer - Uber’s “your car is arriving in 2 minutes” or the airline phone line’s “put you on hold for 2 minutes”. Either way, my understanding of the duration of a minute appears to be misaligned with theirs 😁

Ok, own up. "Please note that there are two symbols in use in the world that represent voltage. These are U or V." Which country uses U then?

'straya ...

@cybergibbons @sandy Look on the bright side: at least they're not driving two abreast having the temerity to chat to each other

Why do these slow moving vehicles not pull over to let the faster moving vehicles past?

I see @firstdogonmoon has cut his 8 panel cartoon strip down to 7 already. Next year we'll be lucky to get 4 (or he goes b&w to save ink) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

i woke up this morning. feeling incredibly motivated. i am going to start a hole-digging club at the park. the goal will not just be. to dig more holes. but to dig better holes

@cybergibbons But won't that slow you down? I mean you'll be like 3ns slower AND have lower blood pressure than if you'd rammed and argued? Not to mention missing stopping to take in scenery and air? Nah, never catch on

I might have missed a few, but on my 87km canal ride, it looks like I passed over 150 people with no conflict. I even stopped to have a chat with a few!

I'm not sure if this was the gotcha that was hoped for.

@gordonjcp @LukeB_MTB not only did it miss the stop sign, but it doesn't seem to find speed limits

@firstdogonmoon @jonkudelka Post-it notes work too, and give convenient space for passwords. Allegedly.

@CoreElecAU do you have an ETA on the Pi POE+ Hat coming back in stock? I'd like to add one to a current order if it's "soon" (ie before you sell out of pi4's again...)

Magnificent

Ah, @Atlassian too busy rearranging the deckchairs in their error page rather than, y'know fixing the errors...

@jsleeio It's mostly users ssh'ing in and editing 'stuff'. FileWatcher can DIAF unless they configure it properly

Tonight I shall be mostly battling .vscode-server processes... Q for other #HPC sites out there: how do you prevent muppets from trashing login nodes through rogue #vscode usage? (apart from education and/or 'kill')
