I said I wouldn't watch #Hunters, but I find myself watching again.

This time they said they live intercepted a facetime call. Utter horseshit. Prog notes say they imitate actual capabilities.

Only way this happens is compromised device, which would be illegal, so they can't do this.

Dear @netflix.com please send your devs on a UX course, the mgr who signed off on it or requested it, send them on one to. The QA team that didn't complain, them too. If any of them complained was overriden by some snr dipstick just fire that dipstick, cos that new design is stupid beyond belief.

Watching an absolute travesty right now. A stream of horseshit.

You know with the @xbox.com website crashing through massive use, it doesn't say much for #Azure ability to scale in extreme cases.

@xbox.com hi guys, I haven't cancelled yet, waiting to see if you rectify your amazing screw up. If you don't you've given me a great opportunity to prune spending.

EA, UBI and dork nite are you insane.

#rachelReeves saying she is for the working class, whilst adding more and more tax burdens to everyone that isn't the ruling, upper and business owner classes. Tax the god damn billionaires. Tax those large tax dodging corps. Ban franchising schemes that funnel pretax profits to no tax countries.

No difference between labour and tory gvmnt #rachelreeves keep saying whilst the cabinet consists of so many tory interlopers, a health minister pushing more privatised services in the NHS. Adopting racist tropes, stop the boats is a racist dog whistle. Provide proper routes to asylum. Return fails.

Omg Reeves harping on about breakfast clubs.

thanks to a much better labour gvmnt (not perfect) my kid got to go to a sure start school. A properly funded SEN dept not drowning with 7k kids per gvmnt employer. Had speech and lang 3 times a week, he needed it.
She's talking about breakfast clubs

Watching Labour conference.
Reeves announcing.

Libraries in all primary, I mean this is a given why are you cheering for something that should have been day 1 education plan.

Recouping covid fraud. Yes we want this. But I WANT TO SEE PEOPLE IMPRISONED FOR BREAKING THE LAW. THIS INCLUDES MINISTERS.

Omg it's so much worse than I thought with this photo and thumbnail generation.

Not only was indexing turned on on the nas.

The thumbnails folder was also on the photos folder path.

So the damn thing was in a recursion spiral.
September 1, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Isnt Virtualisation and Containerisation fun.
I installed Immich on my proxmoxvm/docker containers and it sent my NAS insane. I managed to put the thumbnails folder remote instead of local
But in trying to resolve this by rsync it it back I noticed the connection speed on my supposed 10gb link 5MB/s

#PowerAutomate #Azure peeps. Any of you figured out how to connect to blobstores from a flow, to Private endpoint resources.

I thought I could HTTP connector via gateway to it, but I need a secret (no OAUTH and preauth connector no GW) , of course KeyVault it, and the KeyVault Connector, No GW.

Anti art AI project released

#Nightshade.
Artists download this and spike those thieves.

AI art generators are morally bankrupt. What they were trained on is majority stolen content.

Well that was so much easier.

No more windows pretending to be Linux. No more docker desktop.
No more issues with windows path to Linux paths and refusing to mount
Nfs mounts to synology usable in docker

All in shell, no gui, and it was still faster with just vi

Goodbye windows.
Desktop next :)

When you spend all day figuringout terraforming azure, then phew finished for the day.

Time to sort out the proxmox, vm, docker containers you started yesterday and need to get nginx working at a minimum.

And I lost 2 containers as I never backed them up, they were done after my p2v.
*groan*

Another day fighting Terraform and #Azure FunctionApps in vnetintegration mode.

Whe U set WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1 (which is a good thing) then its read only, ok great.

I deployed a test to Trigger to that FA. Can you undeploy it, no. AzureVSCode cant, the portal cant.

Gotta BURN THE HOUSE

Been bramble picking, absolute bumber crop this year and no one seems to be picking in my area.

Jam jars and pectin on the way.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social please add to the website some of your basic policies.

What's the stance on brexit
What's the stance on PR
You say tax the rich, but everyone who says that means tax middle class who are already being milked dry and never go after millionaires.

Will you ban lobby payments

Couldn't do worse than Starmer.
Pinky as treasurer would be less of a butcher of the working class and disabled than Reeves.
Hell, animaniacs for foreign minister would be better than Lammy.
July 22, 2025 at 11:42 AM
So close. 2anted to run nginx proxy on my synology had trouble with ports.

Figured out mac lan it, separate IP, great.
