Good morning all #tzag #fediverse Wishing you all a great day. Let us show love to others all around us, we can't change the world but we can make our little corner of it a better place #BeExcellentToEachOther
I've now had to rebuild my #pihole three times over the last couple of years due to some kind of (non-SD) corruption. I'm becoming an expert in it! I think I might start taking a build image every so often, rather than just a Teleporter (config) backup, that way I can theoretically just swap in a new card rather than having to rebuild from scratch. #LearningProcess

TuxJam 90 is out. As #TuxJam turns 10 years old @kevie, @mcnalu & @thelovebug take a look back at the apps that were reviewed in episode 1. Along with some #ccmusic from 2011, this ensures that the episode has a nostalgic feel https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-090/
Following the UK's somewhat embarrassing defeat at last weekend's #Eurovision Song Contest Contest, where three of the #BigFive countries ended up as at the bottom of the leaderboard, I ask: does the competition need to be overhauled?
Last week saw the first time I entered someone else's house (outside our bubble) since last August.
Today sees the first time I go into Doncaster town centre since last August.
A sign of the new normality, perhaps?
Come out to get some #QSO, but both the 2m and 70cm bands are really quiet around here today. #AmateurRadio
Sitting down this evening, listening to some quality 90s indie on #Dn12Live (should've been #Uncharted, but gremlins) whilst #fixingbugs on cchits.net - haven't done #coding in ages, but now I have a dev environment for cchits, I'm gonna use it.

Tuxjam episode 89 has been released featuring a review of Solus Budgie, the Linux distro which I have been running for 4.5 years.
@mcnalu , @thelovebug , and @kevie all give Solus many positive comments which pleases me immensely.

TuxJam 89 - Crushing Rocks is out. @kevie @mcnalu and @thelovebug take a look at Snikket, Solus Linux and the usual mix of ccmusic https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-89-crushing-rocks/
Did my first session on #AmateurRadio today, worked a total of 5 contacts. Four of them were from a local high point, reaching between 20 and 38 miles away, with an aerial on the car roof. The other was on the handheld whilst walking through town, 33 miles away! Great success!
Foundation Exam taken. Just waiting for my Candidate Number from RSGB so I can apply for my licence and callsign.
Oh, PTT button... you are within reach!
Hey @nextcloud (and #Nextcloud Admins), remember the security alert back in October 2019 about nginx and php-fpm?
Two things:
1. Everytime I get rid of those pesky notifications, they come back multiple times.
2. I run the Nextcloud snap, which doesn't even use nginx.
Help!

TuxJam 88 is out. In this episode @kevie @mcnalu & @thelovebug look at KaOS, ScreenCam and take a look back at the March Podcrawl. As well as the usual mix of #ccmusic https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-88-from-kaos-there-was-order/
So, @Moosical and I have recently gotten into foreign language drama (The Bridge, The Investigation, Rebecka Martinsson, Man In Room 301, etc - all highly recommended, btw). We've just started watching The Valhalla Murders on Netflix, which is dubbed into English as standard.
We switched back to Icelandic, as the dubbing of the original detaches from what's actually going on. You don't get impact or emotion of the dialogue when it's dubbed into a different language. Foreign with subs ๐
