Today would have been our beloved Tilley's 12th birthday. I took her to the beach so she could run pain free. She loved a good beach to potter about on.

Miss so much Tilley Winks, hope you are doing well on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

This is my running partners in a rare quiet moment. Penny the Podenco aka Spanish mutt and Mr Patrick the Irish mutt aka Paddylonglegs. She is all ready for long runs, he still needs to take it easy before we can go long.

Sadly in the area of Spain we are in atm we need to be careful of Pine Caterpillars as they are already coming out. So it's controlled play, training and mind work to keep these entertained for a while.

After a near miss, the wee Spanish mutt had a trip to the vet. This sadly means for the next few months there will be no more running or walkies in new and unchecked areas. Because she and I walked straight through a row of pine processionary caterpillars. Lucky I had shoes on, she didn't.

You don't want to touch them as the allergic reaction is extremely painful and for pets who get the little furry hairs on their tongue, it could be deadly, at best they need to get some of their tongue cut off. As the vet said it's like a fire in their mouth. Just a FYI so not do a search for what it looks like when a dog is suffering.

Luckily, nothing to report, as the reaction would be instant, but as the vet said better safe than sorry. They were also surprised that the caterpillars are out this early, the joy of fecking up the environment, eh.

I'm back after a comedy of errors for my little Raspberry Pi, where mastodon have lived for a few years.

3 things pretty much happened at the same time. The router that the Pi lives behind, got an update that threw the settings that pointed to the pi out of sync.

Something cause the nginx server to fail to load problery and therefore gave 502 error and other timeouts.

And last but not least the free dns service, I had running pointing to the pi, stopped sending http trafic to the Pi, where telnet, wget and ssh etc happily were pasted onwards when I wanted to play with sudomakecake.ddns.net.

Hence, the update to a VPS and https://sudomakecake.com, since the Pi struggled with updating mastodon and the traffic over wifi. Now its retired to IRC and backup duties which should result in less faff/stress/downtime for me.

Sadly I looks like I have lost access to the old install and therefore can't get my posts or followers and followings in a easy way, so have to build it up manually.
