Go to the cinema and give Laika your money. absolutely cracking film. #Wildwood

Been working on lorawan devices, I now have one working, on battery, deep sleeps, should last a year on battery ATM. Also discovered that you can't just send data repeatedly, there's something called a duty cycle and if you ignore it, it's slightly illegal. Good job I found that out early.

If your testing API with basic Auth and postman comes back 401. But the user PWD is fine and you've checked and checked. It's cos you're British. Swap that S with a Z. Authorization!!!!

Got pipeline in #PowerPlatform, from dev>uat>prod None of the targets should be Managed From Feb 2026 enforcement of target environments to managed was supposed to kick in. There is no setting to block this. If you can make a pipeline & target default what happens ? @powerplatform.microsoft.com

Started listening to dungeon crawler Carl, I'm only on chapter 3 and it's already gripping. The narrator is brilliant btw, gonna enjoy this , after having the storm light drained from me firehosing Sanderson Archive.

Anyone thinking of getting a TADO heating sytem. Don't. There is no local API or control, lose the internet and the app stops. They did provide an API so you could integrate, now they are rate limiting, unless you pay for their service. Their support on many topics is lacking. Their way or highway

That was unexpected.

Wow another fkin tax that does nothing but penalise the working classes. How about your put back the laying fields previous gvmnts sold, how about you maintain playgrounds, police them so they are safe in areas that need it God forbid you stop extracting wealth from the working and middle classes

Shame, trawled the powerplatform parts of Ignite, not a peep on connectivity between it & Azure resources, Logic apps & 365. We need a way to manage connectivity to private endpoints, for everything. We need managed Identity connections for everything. We need that both ways Everything Terraform!

Happy Halloween

I said I wouldn't watch #Hunters, but I find myself watching again. This time they said they live intercepted a facetime call. Utter horseshit. Prog notes say they imitate actual capabilities. Only way this happens is compromised device, which would be illegal, so they can't do this.

Dear @netflix.com please send your devs on a UX course, the mgr who signed off on it or requested it, send them on one to. The QA team that didn't complain, them too. If any of them complained was overriden by some snr dipstick just fire that dipstick, cos that new design is stupid beyond belief.

Watching an absolute travesty right now. A stream of horseshit.

vm.tiktok.com/ZNdWMrJPs/ Feels incredibly close to reality. #xbox

You know with the @xbox.com website crashing through massive use, it doesn't say much for #Azure ability to scale in extreme cases. ;-)

@xbox.com hi guys, I haven't cancelled yet, waiting to see if you rectify your amazing screw up. If you don't you've given me a great opportunity to prune spending. EA, UBI and dork nite are you insane.

#rachelReeves saying she is for the working class, whilst adding more and more tax burdens to everyone that isn't the ruling, upper and business owner classes. Tax the god damn billionaires. Tax those large tax dodging corps. Ban franchising schemes that funnel pretax profits to no tax countries.

No difference between labour and tory gvmnt #rachelreeves keep saying whilst the cabinet consists of so many tory interlopers, a health minister pushing more privatised services in the NHS. Adopting racist tropes, stop the boats is a racist dog whistle. Provide proper routes to asylum. Return fails.

Omg Reeves harping on about breakfast clubs. thanks to a much better labour gvmnt (not perfect) my kid got to go to a sure start school. A properly funded SEN dept not drowning with 7k kids per gvmnt employer. Had speech and lang 3 times a week, he needed it. She's talking about breakfast clubs

Omg it's so much worse than I thought with this photo and thumbnail generation. Not only was indexing turned on on the nas. The thumbnails folder was also on the photos folder path. So the damn thing was in a recursion spiral.

#PowerAutomate #Azure peeps. Any of you figured out how to connect to blobstores from a flow, to Private endpoint resources. I thought I could HTTP connector via gateway to it, but I need a secret (no OAUTH and preauth connector no GW) , of course KeyVault it, and the KeyVault Connector, No GW.

Anti art AI project released vm.tiktok.com/ZNdXXLdXG/ #Nightshade. Artists download this and spike those thieves. AI art generators are morally bankrupt. What they were trained on is majority stolen content.

Well that was so much easier. No more windows pretending to be Linux. No more docker desktop. No more issues with windows path to Linux paths and refusing to mount Nfs mounts to synology usable in docker All in shell, no gui, and it was still faster with just vi Goodbye windows. Desktop next :)

When you spend all day figuringout terraforming azure, then phew finished for the day. Time to sort out the proxmox, vm, docker containers you started yesterday and need to get nginx working at a minimum. And I lost 2 containers as I never backed them up, they were done after my p2v. *groan*

Another day fighting Terraform and #Azure FunctionApps in vnetintegration mode. Whe U set WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1 (which is a good thing) then its read only, ok great. I deployed a test to Trigger to that FA. Can you undeploy it, no. AzureVSCode cant, the portal cant. Gotta BURN THE HOUSE

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... Repeal this draconian invasive and dangerous implementation pretense of protecting children.

Been bramble picking, absolute bumber crop this year and no one seems to be picking in my area. Jam jars and pectin on the way.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social please add to the website some of your basic policies. What's the stance on brexit What's the stance on PR You say tax the rich, but everyone who says that means tax middle class who are already being milked dry and never go after millionaires. Will you ban lobby payments

Couldn't do worse than Starmer. Pinky as treasurer would be less of a butcher of the working class and disabled than Reeves. Hell, animaniacs for foreign minister would be better than Lammy.

So close. 2anted to run nginx proxy on my synology had trouble with ports. Figured out mac lan it, separate IP, great. Wouldn't talk to cloudflare dns api. Damn. Just gonna have to bite bullet ditch windows and proxmox my hades nuc.

Been thinking about writing a thing for a while, scan resource group and spit out drawio Xml. Been putting it off Today I had like 30 things in a rg to document and said screw it let's see what copilot does with this. 3 minutes and it was 95%, just needed to tweak the icons Gonna save me loads time

What a dummy. I've been under the illusion that azure run books were being killed off. So wrong. They just changed a bunch of things for the better with powershell and runas. Mananaged Id for the win in my book.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social So the changes to pip, leave those on it alone, but not new claimants. It's bad enough that you're doing nothing to increase jobs, good jobs, enabling ai to cut jobs, reduce house prices, rent, food. Let's make it harder for young disabled Starmer is a tory, needs to go
