Waking up to a broken nextcloud (overnight! Look, no hands!) was the single reason I finally got acquainted with docker containers

The magic spice

Bots are a fact of life, unfortunately.

I’m also interested in that, please

Thank you, i’m going to look into this!

Ha, i have planted a few rasoberry pi zeros running just syncthing in a few relatives’ places for that. I worry about a blackout damaging them, so i have a few. Syncthing is great, as soon as a backup is made, it whisks it off all over the place, amazing.

I have a keepass database synced between a phone, desktop and a Raspberry Pi 1. The Pi just sits as an always-on server. I don’t edit it on my phone. Here’s my problem: when I edit something on my desktop and save it I invariably get a file conflict error and have to force the Pi to accept the new ‘conflicted’ file from my desktop. Any idea why? It’s incredibly annoying!

Condescension is a terrible way to kindle enthusiasm. C’mon, if you know this shit, extend a hand to those who don’t.

Fuck that. Banksy wrote:

Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

The longer quote is here.

No we absolutely do not!

Does it come as good news that cockroaches are bedbug predators? Some real “pick your poison” shit, huh?

Oh phew. I studied English Lit at university and had to wade through bits of both. I used to feel like I was some sort of uncultured swine for not “getting” them. But honestly, I just don’t think they work as novels. As a piece of art, I guess, sure. Fine and modern art can look like nonsense without context, but often make sense when seen as part of a conversation with other artists and movements. If taken like that, fine, you do you, Joycey-boy, and write incomprehensibly. I’ll be over here with my Iain Banks and Ned Beauman, enjoying them.

Another 9/20er here. I did feel like I was guessing a lot, it was almost satisfying to get such a midway score.
