@ChristianSelig The aer pro pack slim is 👍🏼 got it after having a larger aer pack for years. No looking back. It doesn’t stand up on its own though, but I don’t care

I think I've narrowed down my small backpack search to the Aer Go Pack 2, Aer Pro Pack Slim, and the Fjallraven Ulvo. Any opinions, particularly around how small they pack and how well they protect your laptop, gimme 😛

@steipete I literally made a joke to this effect “I bet there’s an army of people just watching us on camera and labelling”… guess I wasn’t far off

“Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts.” 🤣💀 gizmodo.com/amazon-reporte…

@RachelTobac @RebeccaSlatkin Why is everyone assuming it’s 4 digits?

Here’s a fun social engineering / physical security quiz! Based on this picture of a door lock, what do you think the passcode is for entry? Please include the order the characters are entered.

@semtexfarmhand_ @elonmusk Put your heating on with the app for 5 minutes. Problem and potential damage averted

@_heatgeek is a heat pump worth it in a 1930’s badly insulated house, with no real way to insulate the outside walls… I’ve got solar and battery so am keen.

@hardestgeezer @perfecttednrg Been following this journey for a while. If you get “great firewalled” again, let me know. 👍🏼

#ProjectAfrica Day 248-260: 528km🏃‍♂️ Total raised for charity: £124,083 Morning boys and girls. Been a minute. Internet in Guinea is heavily restricted so I haven’t been able to access socials until now. Lots been happening as always. Humidity has dropped as we are heading north and getting closer to the Sahara which has been magic. That 4 month stint through the jungle & west Africa was just a permanent sweat fest. The people of Guinea have been very chill, we’ve been travelling through quite rural regions with some spectacular scenery and they’ve largely been happy to see us. Locating high quality food has been a bit more challenging than in the previous west African countries though. Found out the hard way with another bout of food poisoning just in time for nye. Body taking beat downs from every direction. I do sometimes wonder if it will ever get back to normal after this is all said and done. Future problem tbf. 2024. Same mission. Tunisia inbound. Hold tight🫡

2023 is 99% complete.

@krzyzanowskim 👍🏼

@ArmstrongAtWork as a matter of fact, I did @krzyzanowskim/111635363612367092" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@krzyzanowskim…

There is no perfect email regex regular-expressions.info/email.html Apple (appkit), hold my beer: hardcoded regex believe internet domain is 4 characters long max or gtfo

BREAKING: Man decides to keep box of random cables he’s had since 2002 for another year.

@steipete @NSLondonMeetup @chriseidhof Meetup.com deleted my account.. for unknown reasons. Today I ended up drinking draught sake in London Bridge and eating wings whilst playing ping pong… I did have an intrusive thought about how swift will never live up to the hackability of obj-c though.

At @NSLondonMeetup with @chriseidhof for the old times. First time here since I moved to London.

@charlesarthur macOS would explicitly say “not connected” with a red dot if physical issue. Linux et al depends. Do you get any IP address at all? Even in the 169.x range?

@ArmstrongAtWork The router doesn’t show any light on that port, so no activity. The computer doesn’t see anything on the wire, so doesn’t pick up an IP address. I’m not using Windows. The Ethernet port just shows “not active”.

I have an Ethernet port upstairs which goes to an Ethernet port in my study (by the router). Cable tester shows that the 1-8 cables are wired correctly: lights illuminate in sequence, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 together at both ends. Yet link to the router and nothing. No internet. Why?

@steipete TIL what MNF is… that passed me by for sure

fastlane is joining the Mobile Native Foundation! Thanks to everyone pushing for that! github.com/MobileNativeFo…

A fascinating piece by @BBC exploring the ancient city of Turkistan🇰🇿, providing a look into the history, architecture, and culture of the spiritual capital of the Turkic world: bbc.com/travel/article…

@albertodebo I self documented mine and you’re right. You will never have to do it again. mikenet.uk/homelab/raspbe…

I now know how to setup a Kubernetes cluster from scratch. Something I will never do again in my entire life.

@MrBeast If you like this tweet and it wins, I’ll donate at least all of the cash @MrBeast gives me to charity chosen via a poll.

Whoever has the most liked reply to this in 48 hours gets all my Twitter revenue for the next month!

@steipete @GergelyOrosz Cowboy looks similar but is nothing alike. I have a VM and just hope they open source all the firmwares and tooling. If they don’t, it’s a fun project for next year…

@GergelyOrosz Also such a great bike! Which one gets close? Need one for London and just cancelled my second order with them.

So sad to hear. VanMoof - from the outside - was on a great trajectory - raising more than $180M. So many VanMoofs around AMS. Now the company is trying to avoid bankruptcy and closed all service points (the only places its bikes can be services). techcrunch.com/2023/07/12/rep…

Tough 🎾 game with worthy opponent in the spirit of true sportsmanship. Sad to see @LenaRybakina of Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 leave @Wimbledon this year but wishing her best of luck 🍀 in the future endeavours.
