Star Trek: Tears of the Kingdom

I’ve recently switched from Windows to Linux and generally I’m using Lazygit on the terminal or SourceGit on the desktop. SourceGit is by and large a very similar UI to Sourcetree but faster (and open source / cross platfrom)

“also the name of”

Must be doing something right then

I had a Dyson for years but recently switched to a Henry and will never look back.

It’s racism. The media have stoked the populace for years with talk of “illegal immigrants”, “foreigners taking our jobs” and the “country is full”. It’s all reactionary bullshit to sell papers, get clicks, and propel the media’s chosen politicians into power. But ultimately, underneath the headlines it’s all driven by racism not facts. Immigration brings in younger people, increases the workforce, boosts the economy, helps pay for an aging population. But those facts don’t stoke outrage and sell papers.

Personally I blame Gordon Brown. He should have stood up to that “bigoted old woman” during the 2010 election campaign instead of caving in. He legitimised the narrative and we have paid and are still paying the price.

LOL. ID cards are literally one of the toxic New Labour policies that turned the electorate against them last time.

This is exactly what I do too!

Personally, I don’t expose the port externally, so I’m not sharing photos via Immich right now. I host locally and it is on a proper domain with a lets encrypt certificate, and I use Gandi Live DNS to update the dynamic IP, but my DDWRT router is set up to only allow access from internal IP addresses and my current WAN IP. It does work externally, but like you I am bit vary of it. That doesn’t just apply to immich. I do the same with my Next Cloud.

Immich is great. I very much recommend it as a replacement for Google photos.

Just be thankful I didn’t open up a can of bread rolls/buns/baps.

Aldi UK beans aren’t as good as they used to be. I think they changed about 6 months ago. That said, they are still decent and my beans of choice.

Ah, the post holiday email catch-up. I don’t have to deal with this any more because I’m self employed, but when I worked for a company my caffeine intake always increased considerably in those first couple of days back at work.

I’m just back from Sainsburys with the kids. I always use “the app” to pay for the shopping, but it crapped out today, no doubt due to the poor phone signal on the store (I’m not using their BT wifi), and I suspect the kids popped a two pack of chocolate croissants into the trolley bypassing my scannage. So it’s not even midday and we are already a family of pastry thieves.

I mean, it’s mostly a joke. Because clearly Monday is. Except for those of us who WFH. I live for Mondays because everyone gets the hell out of my space. Anyway, the daily thread once said Thursday was the worst. So I’m running with it.

Also, most albums tagged with shoegaze on Bandcamp are not shoegaze. It’s a travesty.

What? I mean, they were young when they did all the good stuff. Black Francis was 14 when he wrote Hear Comes Your Man. There is a Brixton Academy video from 1991 on YouTube and two or three 1989 shows too. Forget about the newer shows! I saw them live in 2004 and 2005 and they were still great, but those earlier shows are where it’s at.

Get busy with the fizzy…

Went to Asda and got some Clipper English Breakfast! Looking forward to trying them out. Don’t mind saying I feel like Lord Snooty with my posh tea bags.
