I got this UGreen MagSafe phone/airpod charger for Christmas. And the phone bit being rotated off centre (and being stuck is that position) is driving me insane.

Shocking revelation that I have to go to work tomorrow.
Wow. The Intel Mini PCs are getting really good (and incredibly well priced). Which makes buying a raspberry pi seem like a bad deal.
Watched the Dr Who specials 1–3. And yep, Dr Who is still awful. I can’t remember a bit character from a single episode 16 years ago. Or some weird plot device from the twenty third season which aired in the 80s. It’s become impenetrable for all but the most obsessive of fans.
I long ago mastered the art of silently opening a bottle of champagne. Much to everyone’s disappointment.
They started playing a Christmas playlist at work. So I’m sure I’m about to lose Whamageddon.
I brewed for the first time in over a year, yesterday. I was worried about hooking up my fermentation fridge to keep temps stable. But my house has been between 19-21°C for the last few days. So I’ll just leave the kegmenter on the kitchen bench.
Why doesn’t Siri on my HomePod recognise my voice. It’s so it utterly frustrating. I’m the only user. Why do I have to keep identifying myself!?
Also, how did “call the council at 11:30 tomorrow” get turned I to this!?
Rhythm and Blues implies the existence of Rhythmless and Reds.
Today marks a decade since I left the mining industry in Australia. And I’ve not been back to Australia since. No regerts.
The company that can create some kind of storage device that’ll never run out of space somehow will make trillions of dollars.
OK nerds. I have a couple of raspberry pis on my network doing some low-key stuff. I want to add some NAS (say 4 TB of RAID 1), and potentially replace the pis as docker containers. What should I look at replacing them with?
Leaving Twitter forever is way easier than you think. I managed to leave. I was in there for almost 15 years. Barack Obama followed me there FFS. Give it a try. It’s deliciously cathartic.
I don’t mind calling my power company and waiting on hold. I get to listen to smooth jazz while I work.
Something is waking up between 2 and 6 am, on weekdays only, and burning through 1 kWh of electricity. And I can’t think of what it is… the TV doing spying processing? The hot water tank (although I would expect it to spike like this…)
You’d think je parle français maintenant. Mais je ne parle pas français. La lange est impossible! C’est plus que mon cursus professionnel.
It’s Windows remote desktops all the way down.
A homeopathy fact I keep remembering is the dilution of 1 in a googol (10^100). Marketed as C100. There’s ~10^83 atoms of baryonic matter in the universe. Which means one active particle in 100 trillion universes’ worth of none active particles.
I once had a Queenslander argue to me that Queensland didn’t have daylight saving because Queenslanders spend more outside, unlike house bound Victorians. Sunrise in Brisbane this morning was at 4:44 am. Sunset will be at 6:27 pm.
I’ve been putting this off for almost a year. But I’m ready to start brewing again. So I’m going to do it. I’m going to buy a new brewer.
It’s that weird time of year when I have to buy two months' worth of stuff to avoid holiday shut downs. Annoying.
I just watched The Matrix: Resurrections. I don’t know why that movie got so much hate. It’s by far the second best Matrix movie.
If you’re a nerd like me, PiHole is undetectable by YouTube and blocks all ads. Outside of YouTube, you should be running PiHole, anyway. It’s makes the internet usable again.
Windows is so shit. In the 16 years I’ve been using OS X/macOS, I’ve closed my laptop and whenever I opened it, my stuff was still there. Windows seems to shut down and close everything, out of spite, every other day. It’s borderline unusable.
I am shocked. SHOCKED! That a giant road is having a negative impact on the surrounding environment.
