Am I the only one underwhelmed by #Eurovision so far this year? Everything just feels a little mediocre. Maybe it'll pick up...

I think I may officially have gotten old. After running Fedora on both my desktop and laptop for awhile, I've finally said screw it and installed Ubuntu LTS now on both.
I'm actually over constant annoyances and bugs from new updates. I need way less updates in my life.

Well the Attack Mode in Formula E seems to at least make sense now. I was so confused when I started watching last season when it seemed to be a huge disadvantage to take it, but drivers were forced to to add strategy or something.
Pretty chaotic opening race.

Bit windy overnight down in Cardiff, eh! Apart from a few bins out of place though we seem to be good here.
Bunch of homes elsewhere in Wales seem to have had power cuts though. That sucks.

Bloody hell. We got an emergency alert on our phones here in Cardiff from the UK government earlier. It was loud AF. Thought someone had gone loco and pressed the nuclear button!
Hope everyone stays safe tonight in the affected areas. 💙

What a story. The bird is about 74 years old, having been tagged in 1956 when she was about 5. Members of her species generally only live 12-40 years. She's the world's oldest bird, with the next oldest being only around 45 years old. Incredible!

Why do we kiss? ‘I am not sure we have anything close to an explanation’

Interesting to see that Canonical are now offering certifications for Ubuntu administration and management:

Won't be as well-recognised as something like RHEL certs for the time being, but Ubuntu is pretty widely used and these could be useful.
