The YouTube homepage for me has two videos with "string theory" in the titles. One is about actual string theory, the other is about guitar strings 😄

Very late to the game (literally; I'm not really a gamer) but I picked up No Man's Sky on Switch over Xmas as it was on sale and I'm kinda hooked on it.

Huh. Now that iPhone has RCS, DPD are sending messages over RCS. Except they forgot about the “rich" part and the URL in the message is not a hyperlink.

The funnier thing with this is, now that I have a tracking number, I've looked it up on the website and it clearly shows it being out for delivery on the 24th, a text message supposedly sent, and delivered the same day.

So why did the text I actually received say it's coming on the 30th? Bonkers.

Good job, Parcelforce. They delivered something on Tuesday. I've JUST received a text message saying my parcel is on its way and due to be delivered on Monday 30th.

?!?

I've been driving #Ghostty for the last couple of hours, fiddling with its knobs (fnarr), and I'm pretty sure this is gonna replace iTerm2 for me. Will need to keep driving it for a bit to be sure.

Very nice work @mitchellh & co.!

Uh, yeah, THIS is why I use uBlock Origin and am incredibly grateful for the volunteers who continually keep the blocklist updated every time YouTube fights back.

19 minutes though? ffs.

Great job, Dacorum Borough Council.

(Bins were collected today, a day earlier, for obvious reasons.)

The collection as it stands today.

What I really want to add: a Music Man Stingray Special.

The pickups and preamp on this thing are just 👌🏻

Going drop D to play Schism gives a real punchy growl that just sounds amazing.

The longer fretboard (24 frets) will take some getting used to compared to my old 20 fret bass. My left hand keeps going for the wrong position.

Pretty good read from Fastmail. Love this kind of writeup.

Particularly with the DNS random prefix attacks, my team used to (manually!) mitigate those at Cloudflare. Those mitigations were eventually automated so I'm surprised it didn't work for them. Maybe it's not on for DNS Firewall?
