Hey @fedex thanks for making me wait at home all day because “you didn’t have my door code”, apparently in 2021 there is no possible way to contact anybody by telephone, if only there was some kind of magical way to call using a small handheld device when not at a phonebox 🤷♂️
I’m probably more vexed by this considering I know how it’s going to go, the driver is going to end their shift put some bullshit about me not being home, while being nowhere near the arrondissement I live in, and then I have to waste another day and slog up to their depot.
The definition of end of day is questionable at best, but clearly 18h was not only the promised time but it’s clearly the end of the day for some people #rude
Well lol, if you can’t make it on time, just change the goal posts : Scheduled delivery: Monday, January 18, 2021 by end of day
Scheduled delivery: Monday, January 18, 2021 by 18:00
Stayed in all day, curfew is about to start, and I’m somewhat vexed that the delivery has still not bothered to show up while I’ve been sat in my flat all day.
I think we can also confirm that yet again my sleeping patterns are back to April 2020 style “time doth not matter”
I also spent about an hour talking myself out of buying a new domain, so at least there is progress in my 2h du mat compulsive purchases. Except that time I bought a load of gopher themed domains, hem, last night at the same time
The lj.gl server needed to reboot for some updates, plus it was going slow as shit so I figured two problems solved here
Fitbit support I find is a bit “have you tried contacting somebody else about a problem that stems from our buggy product?”, practically the Uber way of customer care, wear them down until they give up
Lolz, remembering that time I created acme.lu
When I changed Freeboxes I lost some of my file areas, but thanks to the Internet Archive I was able to recover the Commodore Free mirror. So check it out !
Because I’m a gluton for punishment, I’ve setup a Plume instance on lj.gl
Also, before you ask she’s upset that I wouldn’t let her break in to the appartments next to ours
Drinking with your cat in 2020 is not ideal, when you get a bit down about having no social contact, the response you really don’t need is a hiss and a sharp swat 😅
An official statement from OH.MG
And to be brutal, I’m kind of glad Kent smells of piss right now, it’s the least they deserve
Incidentally, already holding citizenship with a commonwealth country still gets you better access than these blue passports they produce in Poland by a Dutch company. Because something about taking their whatevers back and freedrrms
I’m not concerned about getting kicked out, but I do have three options available, each one equally as expensive and time consuming. Not one of them includes going anywhere near the UK, and quite frankly I’ll probably renounce my UK citizenship because of this farce if I go via option nationality
Well the clown “got Brexit did” and now it’s time to start figuring out what happens next, and freeing up some / a fuck tonne of cash to stabilise my legal standing in this country. All this for soverentee they already had 🤷♂️
I’ve somehow gone from a night owl to an early bird, and I’m very confused by this turn of events
I’ve also been playing with monitisation with Coil, if I can figure out how to hide my BBS’s web front end behind a Coil paywall I would consider opening it back up to the outside web. The amount of money raked in is still pretty small, but it would limit the server to genuine users if anything. Plus it helps a little towards the management of the web server, which is the most time intensive part of running a BBS
In my journey of self hosted email, I kind of forgot that I had wildduck.email running on one of my machines. I went in changed some settings and it seems to be working, I’m not thinking of using it as a prod server though. It’s good, but it’s not a stable release and administering it is a bit hardcore 😅
Live streaming my cat ignoring me, the future is today
In related news, trying to decipher Irish official documents from 1926 is a rather interesting affair. These fuckers wrote so stylish it’s totally unreadable, there was no interest in future proofing back in the day
