Restoring an old Mac Mini I had been running Linux on. Remember the days when macOS, sorry OS X, was good?

My other thought is that Apple just can't help themselves, can they? Useless feature after useless feature every year while basic stuff gets broken. The Mac no longer feels like a computer I own, and I'm utterly sick of it.

I've updated my iMac to #macos Sequoia and it has broken #nginx. It's the #homebrew install, and is failing to read my #letsencrypt privkey.pem. Probably permissions and weirdly the nginx worker process has a UID of -2. Anyone have any ideas?

Edinburgh to Suffolk by scenic route through Lincolnshire and Norfolk- 381 miles makes it my longest #ElectricVehicle trip yet. Previous experience of long trips repeated. Don't stop to charge, charge when you're stopped, which means we found it hard to run it down below about 35% then it was full again by the time WE were ready to go.

To stop the #dog stealing the cat food we put a spring on the utility room door and a cat hole at the bottom. Every day he follows one of us into that room and gets stuck, and his reaction never stops being funny. #DogsOfMastodon

In June my wife fell ill with bacterial meningitis. 9 days of IV antibiotics dealt with the infection but it left her with profound deafness in one ear and severe in the other. She was referred to the Scottish Cochlear Implant Programme and had the surgery at the end of July. Today was switch on and she's really happy with the initial results. We had our first normal conversation in weeks.
Fantastic technology but even more amazing is the #NHS which made it all possible with no extra stress.

Oh wow, unsolicited email from Ticketmaster (which looks genuine enough from the headers) asking to click a link to verify my email. It's 2024, not 2004. #securityawareness

You know your dog needs a bath when, after a swim in the river, he meets a 5 year old girl who says, "my dog smells like that" #DogsOfMastodon

First band practice yesterday using my new #guitar amp. I knew it sounded good at home but when cranked up a bit this thing is amazing. Whether clean, crunchy or high gain the clarity of the sound it produces is wonderful to listen to. Gorgeous 70s rock tones with the Les Paul and monstrous metal chugging with the Jackson. Lead lines cut through the rest of the band without needing extra volume.
Clarity also makes your mistakes stand out. Must keep practicing...

When I was a kid in the 70s and early 80s The Professionals drove around in a Ford Capri and it was the coolest thing on TV and on the road.
The name has been revived in the most boring looking form you could imagine. https://www.ford.co.uk/cars/electric-capri

Good band practice today. We're doing a bunch of covers and reviving one song we wrote together in the 90s. All starting to sound pretty good but guess the one song and #guitar solo I made a pig's ear of. Yes, our own, and my own.

Overheard quite an elderly couple debating #AI in a beautiful spot in the #PentlandHills near #Edinburgh. He was all in on the successor species nonsense and she could see right through it. They walked off still talking about it.

I booked an #ElectricVehicle to use on holiday in Spain. Not for environmental reasons - that would be pretty hollow since we're flying there - but because it was the cheapest option for a reasonable sized car. I doubt we'll be doing many mile..., er kilometers but anyone know how public charging in Catalonia compares to the UK?
