Outtahere.
Will miss the inspired mayhem of people like @TheDreadShips and @forest_fr1ends, as well as the tech crowd. In the meantime, 'be excellent to each other'

Bugger. I take it desktop PCs are horribly out of favour these days, looking for an old ATX PSU for bench power supply. Related, who's got the nicest breakout these days? tindie seems thin. Want: GPIO accessible power up, 5, 12. USB would be nice. Mix of Terminal posts + screws

@TheDreadShips If you're ever considering a holiday, we've got you covered down here
(I believe this is from Marvelous Maps)

@LisaForteUK Immediate booking of first class rail around the country. Leaving paper copies on the seat is a tried and tested distribution network with tiered (daily mail story) CDN. More confidential, the higher backup replication copies obvs.

@brianwhelton I feel seen

Hey @SpiritofTas, thanks for sending me a survey, but exactly which category does "getting from point A to point B" fall under?

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@fignjam @Equifax Because otherwise we'd have to use that wierd crypto stuff the UK government is so against?

@hpcnotes And that's coming from an employer who was notorious for how many minutes a windows update would take ;-)

Ok, own up. "Please note that
there are two symbols in use in the world that represent voltage. These are U or V." Which country uses U then?

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

'straya ...

@cybergibbons @sandy Look on the bright side: at least they're not driving two abreast having the temerity to chat to each other

I see @firstdogonmoon has cut his 8 panel cartoon strip down to 7 already. Next year we'll be lucky to get 4 (or he goes b&w to save ink) https://t.co/jvYxo29ulS

i woke up this morning. feeling incredibly motivated. i am going to start a hole-digging club at the park. the goal will not just be. to dig more holes. but to dig better holes

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@cybergibbons But won't that slow you down? I mean you'll be like 3ns slower AND have lower blood pressure than if you'd rammed and argued? Not to mention missing stopping to take in scenery and air? Nah, never catch on

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@gordonjcp @LukeB_MTB not only did it miss the stop sign, but it doesn't seem to find speed limits

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@firstdogonmoon @jonkudelka Post-it notes work too, and give convenient space for passwords. Allegedly.

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@CoreElecAU do you have an ETA on the Pi POE+ Hat coming back in stock? I'd like to add one to a current order if it's "soon" (ie before you sell out of pi4's again...)

[Stephen Dziedzic @stephendziedzic]

Magnificent

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

Ah, @Atlassian too busy rearranging the deckchairs in their error page rather than, y'know fixing the errors...

[Andrew Elwell 🐘@[email protected] @elwell2000]

@jsleeio It's mostly users ssh'ing in and editing 'stuff'. FileWatcher can DIAF unless they configure it properly

Tonight I shall be mostly battling .vscode-server processes...
Q for other #HPC sites out there: how do you prevent muppets from trashing login nodes through rogue #vscode usage? (apart from education and/or 'kill')
