Is this just a case of swapping the router’s upstream DNS to Adguard’s? (IIRC I have google and Orcon set on mine).

Ukraine wanting to use their drones again?

We’re having the discussion in the office about getting a coffee machine - the main issue is that the kitchen is near the work area where people spend a lot of time on Teams, and they can get quite noisy. Today’s whiteboard poll is Coffee Machine or Air Fryer.

Having just recently got an air fryer at home and just discovered the joys of air-fried bacon, I’m still on the side of Coffee Machine.

If those magats could read they’d be very upset with you.

I drove from Palmy to Wellington early yesterday morning. Put on cruise control at the start of two lanes north of Ōtaki and didn’t touch the pedals until heading down Ngaranga Gorge (minor adjustments to CC via control buttons).

No Linux From Scratch? Absolutely worthless.

dQw in the piped link, too! Good bot.

Jim Morrison reverb?

But they use lava lamps as a RNG! (oblig Tom Scott)

In deiner Haut will ich gern stecken
Was sich liebt, das darf sich lecken
Man steckt nicht drin, ist kaum zu stemmen
Ich werde mich dahinterklemmen
Sehr viel Sinn ohne Verstand
Du hast mich in der Hand

In the words of Paul Simon - when it decides to call you Betty.

Oh no!

Anway…

Are you saying the rouble is rubble?

I’ve had it a few times, the first time was the worst because I had no idea what was going on. Didn’t have it again for about 10 years and at the time I was flying regularly so I’d take a nasal spray for the descent and also try to breathe out my ears (hold nose and mouth and blow). Only a couple of occassions since that there’s been a little, but I do get anxious at times.

Something I didn’t expect to come across this morning, Carrie Underwood opening for Guns 'n Roses, and rocking out with Ace of Spades.

I was like you, couldn’t live without gesture nav and stocking with Samsung launcher. Have now gone back to buttons and looking for a replacement. Was running Nova back on my Nexus 5 but been running stock on my phone since 2018.

There’s a gif of random coloured splats covering it over. When it first went up it had a snoo with SPEZ written in white on a red background for its eyes. It was heavily brigaded. If you click on any random spot it’s most likely a brand new bot account, or a bot account from last year.

Usenet was the first time I interacted with the internet as it was the only thing accessible from the Unix lab we had access to (email was available but we didn’t use it). This was 1994. I was on alt.music.pink-floyd during the height of the PUBLIUS ENIGMA puzzle.

I kept using it up into the early 2000s. I’d jump on in the morning before going to work, and that’s how I found out about 9/11 (it was 12:46am NZ time when the first tower was hit). I had gone to our local newsgroup for our city and there were messages in all caps “TOWER COLLAPSED” and then “BOTH TOWERS DOWN”. I wondered what was going on, then turned on the TV where our main channel was feeding in the live news (I think it was CNN). We just sat there horrified, watching before we eventually went off to work.

I eventually stopped using it when web forums and other sites took over for me (fark, slashdot, metafilter) and then my ISP dropped support for it. Google Groups didn’t mesh with me and I never went back.

When I first jumped on here and got my head around federation, it took me back to those Usenet days because in a sense this is almost the same. I’ve seen lots of people say “federation is like email”, but to me it’s like Usenet.

I’ve always called it Woolies. The logo is a "W’ FFS
