Pfft. I had an Apple M7 chip in my iPhone 5s.

Those M1 Macs are pretty reasonably priced compared to the new iPhones. Here are the prices of all base models in NZ dollars:
Phones are pricey.
iCloud tabs are completely broken for me (iOS 14.2). I don’t know where Safari is getting its syncing data from, but each device is showing a different set of tabs on every other device, all of which are days old. I’ve tried turning it on and off again.
Rail and using Manapōuri to electrify the South Island. Hydrogen is a silly boondoggle.
The Photos app on MacOS is designed for use with an SSD, isn’t it? I’m using it with an external spinning disk and it’s depressingly slow.
Hey Siri search on MacOS. I know you like to try and be helpful, but when I type “cal”, I have always meant Calendar. I’ve never meant Calculator. Mainly because most calculations I can do in the search bar. Please stop autocompleting “cal” to Calculator.
This was my beer for the evening. It was delicious in so many ways.
It’s almost summer, so I’m brewing my essential summer beer, Raspberry Rebellion – a wheat beer that I dry-hop with raspberries. It’s low ABV, slightly sweet, a little tart and incredibly delicious on a hot summer day. Here’s the recipe.
Oh yay, it’s the 5th of November, so a bunch of inconsiderate shitbags will be letting off fireworks for the next three months.
Je comprends mauvais français. Bon français est plus difficile a comprends pour moi.
(Just listening to some English speakers struggle their way through French and it’s painful, but easy to understand).
That’s enough internet-induced anxiety for me today. Hope you all get a decent sleep.
I’ve muted all relevant words on Twitter, and closed all news sites on my browsers. I’m listening to music from the 90s. Today is going to be relaxing. I’m not going to be live tracking a major event. I have m mental health to think about.
Was just lucky enough to see the ISS fly over thanks to some fortunate gaps in the clouds. Humans can do amazing things when they work together.
Drinking Espresso from the 1950s - hilarious.
I have a solution to the Fermi Paradox: the Drake Equation, on which it’s based, is all guess work and one of the numbers is simply so close to zero that intelligent life is vanishingly unlikely.
Gastro bugs are the universe proving there’s no higher power.
I’m not a huge Star Wars fan. But one of the things I really like about Star Wars is there’s no universal translator. You have to know another culture’s language. Star Trek lacks this cultural diversity in everyone being able to speak English*

I put my poor Raspberry Pi Zero W under such horrible load. I just thrash it and get annoyed it’s so slow. I know I should have something snappier, but size-wise it’s tough to beat something that small. Maybe I should upgrade to a RPi 4 or something snappier.
As per the previous post, I used this guide to install WireGuard on my Raspberry Pi. Bonus: PiVPN knows about PiHole, so it’ll get them hooked up for ad-free internet goodness if you have PiHole installed.
If you’re after a self-hosted VPN, use Wireguard (it’s free and open source!). I’ve been having a lot of issues with OpenVPN and the weird Teleport app that my Ubiquiti Amplifi router uses. Wireguard just seems to work as expected.
Any Fastmail users out there? I need to know if a single $5/month plan will give me multiple domain name aliases or not.
I’ve broken out my evening leisure singlet. We’re getting to summer levels of humidity in the mighty Manawatu this evening.
We gave my mum an old iPhone and now my phone is just constantly buzzing with an endless stream of Memojis
A bit of a shame, but it should be in control centre as a core OS functionality. Apple Removes ‘TV Remote’ App in Favour of Control Centre Feature.
New episode of Star Trek: Discovery tonight! Eeeee!
