I'm generally not overly picky about the weather. But after two days of seeing the sky in the past 5 weeks and now this for the past week...ugh. 😒

Crazy stuff. These mass enshittifications of everything due to billions of dumbos being hyper fixated on some celebrity bullshit are just so...2020s.

Nothing wrong with Murphy's of course. 👍 Would love to try a Brennan also.

That's at least better than a few weeks ago when they broke the microphone. Not audio completely, just the microphone, first in edge (lol), then in Firefox, then lastly in chrome while at the same time fixing it in Firefox.

Seriously you couldn't make this up. Nobody of those clowns has any idea what they're doing. Every time I see teams restarting I wonder what they fscked up now.

This puts in words what I like more and more about writing with good-old analog pen & paper. You have to think things through and then commit it in one shot. No constant back and forth changing and rechanging.

It's funny that the cheapest refurbed drives I could get for my NAS build where absolutely spotless original HP spare HGST He10 8TB in Proliant smart carriers.

Edit: carriers are gone.

The main board for my home server build came with a bios version so ancient it doesn't support the Cezanne Ryzen 5 I bought for it.

Sigh. So now I need to get an equally ancient CPU just to flash the bios update. 🖕 💩

@mike apologies if this is an FAQ. I checked hub.fosstodon.org but couldn't find anything.

Question: has fosstodon's official policy regarding threads changed or are we still at the 2023 wait-and-see status?

Thanks! 👍

It's worth to bookmark (or better: save locally) this, and use it to check against anything the fascists are doing.

There are patterns and they must be detected and acted upon.

Bottom line: if you post on or read xitter you are fueling the nazi propaganda machine.

I think it's time he finally changed the logo to the svastika.

As expected, headed direct for Tartus.

Meanwhile Sparta II has transited Gibraltar and has also changed destination from Port Said to "to order". Seems to be standard russian military logistics protocol.

Yeah, so they've changed the destination in their AIS to "to order", meaning open for hire. They're headed due east, away from Port Said and towards Lebanon or possibly Syria. To be continued...
