    I used one for the first time last season. Died. I think I'll just walk, or take the railroad like it's still 2010.

    Oh neat! Cool mirror, I'll have to remember that. I wonder if I can do a tampermonkey to do that automatically. Nice one Also, marvellous use of leads and lanterns.

    I'm sorry no. I never share pictures outside of family, which basically happens over iMessage or Signal. Actually that's not quite true, I've made a link to a small album to send to someone...

    Do you have recommendation that are reasonable and accessible?

    I'm sorry no. I never share pictures outside of family, which basically happens over iMessage or Signal.

    Actually that's not quite true, I've made a link to a small album to send to someone instead of emailing photos. I could do the same from my Nextcloud photos as well I suppose. The point I think is, that I don't post pictures for public consumption.

    It's just that now, if imgur is used, I can't view anyone else's either :)

    Vorkosigan Saga still. Now reading Ethan of Athos - nearly finished that, then on to Miles Errant probably.

    I was sold this saga by friends on the basis of it being a mil series. I've just read 2 books in a row (Cetaganda and Ethan) which are like Cadfael or Columbo in space. Not mil.

    So it wasn't what I was looking for but... Can't put them down basically. So all good :)

    Well the way around it is not to use imgur, I suppose. But that would require the ROW to do it so I'm not hopeful. I guess it works fine for the ROW. shrug

    I think imgur is broke. Notwithstanding that it's forbidden to use that site in the UK, it seems from my world travels on the internet that it just doesn't load at all. Over Capacity. Or maybe it's still my end :(

    Edit: it seems imgur are detecting and blocking vpns to give the over capacity error, and as I say, we're banned from using imgur in the UK so I guess that's that.

    I have no evidence of course, but I feel the same about the Jersey Royal potato in the UK. They used to be spectacular but in recent years they’re just not the same. The taste is much diminished

    Bad//Dreems

    Found this lot from a shoutout on a short by another musician.

    To my ears they're a slightly more punky edgy version of The Levellers, a lot of their vocal style reminds me strongly of them. I'm enjoying them a lot.

    All our work computers have root SSL certificates and SSL busting proxies installed. It's trivial to see what was submitted to https sites for them. I pointed this out to the survey company who were making all kinds of the same statements as you make, but none of the survey companies aggregating matters, if the company can read the responses right out of their proxies.

    I use a mix of RCS and SMS mostly. I find RCS a bit unreliable as it needs data. I have to frequently fall back on SMS. It's okay though. I sent a pic of me in my new footy shirt to my eldest just now on RCS , he got it fine. Good quality. I also don't have group chats. No more than one person at a time would be interested in my inane witterings anyway.

    I lost contact with my running and badminton clubs when I sacked off Facebook. That’s the only platform they organise on, so I just had to miss out.

    Had to leave though, for my own wellbeing.

    Lots of local shops have their only online presence on Facebook too.

    The one that sticks in my mind is when PHB is quizzing Dilbert about why Dilbert hasn’t filled in the anonymous employee survey. Because this happens to me. Every. Year.

    I could sharply exhale through my nose at Dilbert from time to time back in the day. Can’t separate the art from the raging arsehole though.

    Finally got a villager breeder online. Farming based one this time, which is the first time I've tried that. It's slow but it will allow me to start work on an iron farm, and then ... THEN I can start playing in the world. I always want to get to iron self sufficiency before constructing iron tools and armour.

    Edit: got my iron farm online! Yusss

    Just half an hour ago got the pop ups for getting iron tools. At last!

    I got one villager into my local breeder.

    The second? Been trying for damn days. Ruined my rail transport system by hacking it to bits when the blighters escape my trap. Currently got the one in the system, and one sat in a boat, with me wondering how the heck I'm going to get it up to the other one. Destroyed the staircase trying to get it in there.

    Villagers man. BAH!

    Edit, I'm done with this carp. I'm changing from a test tube style breeder to a farm style one. Never built one before but they're more interesting anyway, and easier to herd the villagers in to.
