My conservatory roof started failing in the summer, and home insurance denied the claim 🙃

Finally able to get a fix in place; it’s held up currently by a sketchy wood prop! Attached photo is months old and hasn’t shifted further thankfully

Planning phase of […]

Fed up with Windows now on my gaming PC. Do I have time to deal with it? Pffffft what’s free time.

Guess I’ll just deal with it for the next 10 years ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally getting somewhere now with this. Had to rebuild how data sync works a bit too many times!

I guess this is a first proper preview of Watchfox, a competitor to Infuse! Hook up as many Jellyfin/plex/emby/etc servers as you want in one app, combined with […]

Serious post, please boost...

On #internationalmensday here's your periodic reminder, fellow AMAB prostate carrying people who are over 50:

Go see your doctor. Don't put it off. Ask for a DRE or a PSA test. Yes, DRE means a finger up your bum, get over it.

They probably won't find anything […]

Selling 63 separate items on eBay this week and my head is already melting from people messaging me 😬 definitely an introvert nightmare

Making changes to a data model at work, and touching an object holding social media links. Let’s see if we can merge in mastodon without any comments at code review

If your house doesn’t have a chicken door, what can I say… you’re missing out big time

Solar panels has been on my agenda for quite some time, and the whole impending AI crash has got me reconsidering the timeline on sorting energy independence

I’m getting ahold of a refurbished inverter for free, and looking at prices of second-hand panels, this might actually be doable on my […]

Slice of life: came downstairs for my lunch break, and Velma is wandering around the house! She’s been in for bed rest, due to what appeared to be a badly sprained ankle #chickens

Heating is coming on, dressing gown over the top of everything - I think we’re getting into cosy season 😂

Been trialling out Xcode Intelligence (ChatGPT) vs Cursor (Claude), both for Swift. So far, not impressed with Xcode.

Ive had queries go in a loop asking for the same project context, generated code not making much sense (that’s the model tbf), and when queries time out part way through I […]

I last did design work on my Infuse-alike app 5 years ago, and it really shows 😅

It’s definitely taken me FAR longer than I thought to get something working. Originally it was scoped as a “watchlist” app, and now is more geared at consolidating media sources […]

All three top stories on the BBC News app are about migration. The top story on #r4today just now was also about migration.

Is this (as the #R4Today presenter has just claimed) the media reflecting the public’s interest, or is it in fact the public parroting back […]

Been so busy building the new chicken coop, that I forgot to post in-progress photos!

Here’s the finished article, and will pop the “in progress” photos in an attached thread #diy

It’s a combination of three separate FB Marketplace finds - two dog houses and a rabbit run. Try to spot the seams 😛

Not sure this is a #diy -able fix - conservatory roof issues falling down, due to a bowed PVC wall 😬 we just had heavy rain which must have pushed the roof over the breaking threshold

Spot the difference! Cleaned up the blockwork, relevelled it (lots of sunken bits) and repointed the gaps. Having to do everything in sections, and move stuff around. Means it’s super obvious now where we need to get to 😅
