I guess it's time for a reintroduction!
Software developer from South Wales. Used to be a physicist, always will be one at heart. Got a PhD and everything.
Also a musician (violin/fiddle).
Recently dived into the Teletext enthusiast world, and fused that with Trek on my very own Teletext service!

Happy just-over-a-year of my Raspberry Pi self-hosting running stably!
Decided to celebrate by deciding to install stuff as an experiment which practically ground it to a halt just as my most popular ever Bluesky/Mastodon post was going practically viral.
Took me two evenings, but it's fixed now!

It has taken me nearly 11 months! 🤣
Had issues recently where it was randomly falling over, and about 17 pages of notes on what the problem *wasn't*, from all the fixes I tried.
Started over last week, and third time lucky, it's running stable.
Gained a new case and HAT since then from Waveshare.

Ahh, so I should've checked Webfax before thinking that the blips throwing my internal house-wide anachronistic analogue TV out of whack were anything to do with my Raspberry Pis or my aerial positioning...could have just been planned maintenance...d'oh...I've been fiddling for ages!

The item I wanted to buy again on Amazon is nearly double what I paid for it the first time, so I waited for Black Friday Week to start.
It's gone up by £3 🤣

Just reminding future me to listen to my own advice, in case I forget.
This was in response to someone on Threads, nearing 40, panicking and wondering if it was too late to start over, feeling as though they'd "missed their life".

What was supposed to be a quick PSU and graphics card swap turned into a complete disassembly, when it wouldn't power up after a dusting (even though the LED was on).
Forums said it'd be highly likely something knocked (off), but didn't realise this CMOS jumper was missing until I read the manual!

Still mulling about the best way to sort out uneven column lengths, but there've been other tweaks to enhance the look/feel:
- descriptions streamlined, not shown for news, and only after 7pm for most programmes
- films now identified, and outlined with a rectangle

I did an experiment to see if I could use the EPG data from my TVHeadend Raspberry Pi to produce a recreation of a newspaper TV guide. Turns out I can, and I have.

Started dabbling with EPG XML data from my TVHeadend the other day, and had a random thought: I wonder if anyone's made a recreation of the classic Sky Digibox EPG?

Did I spontaneously decide to buy a second-hand motherboard and RAM, and a brand-new compatible cooler, just to finally test a CPU that I bought in January 2024? Yup.

Building up the PC testbench slowly.
Got a new ATX PSU for one of my PCs, which freed up the old one to be used here.

Now that there's a retro motherboard on the way to test, it made sense to finally get around to assembling my open frame testbench, that I bought in...*checks notes*...January...

Made huge strides with my anachronistic analogue TV simulator last night!
RPi 3 TVHeadend uses two Realtek RTL2832 DVB-T tuners to get BBC1/2, ITV1, S4C, Channel 4/5 SD feeds and stream to six RPi 1s running OMXPlayer and VBIT2 for teletext.
Bonus: DVB HAT lets me watch TV anywhere on my LAN, too!

My single-tuner TVHeadend just became triple-tuner (at least for SD content)!
Had some cheap DVB-T tuners that were left unused from a project that never came together years ago. It's been so long, in fact, that one of the plastic cases disintegrated, but handily this means I can stack them neatly.

If you've been getting this 'QUIC protocol' error in Google Chrome, you can stop it by navigating to chrome://flags/, searching for 'quic', selecting 'disabled' in the 'Experimental QUIC protocol' dropdown, then clicking the relaunch button at the bottom.

Last night was some of my best work: I successfully prepared air-fried pigs-in-blankets in a silicone basket.
Not sure if there's more of a process involved, or if Michelin routinely read public social media posts and the star will be sent automatically?

Just to let everyone know, I finally turned off the irrelevant / out-of-date automatic chatbot messages on my Twitch chat.
The stream was over three weeks ago.
But hey, at least they're now switched off in time for next year's stream!
