How do I hack: My ring doorbell, and My Facebook(Meta) portal?

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@timbl Page 139 of your book Netscape IPO. I still have and use my https://t.co/u52jCCmWIK email address.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

It is also still used in LaTex I understand

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@timbl, PAge 75 of your book This is for Everyone, you refer to formatting like '.bold' which is what we used at Plessey in the document creator Runoff, a derivative of unix Troff.

@AI_Mayflower what's happening with you these days? Any more adventures planned?

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

4th problem was to correct my tyre pressure gauges. If I have done it correctly, good. Otherwise they are both 10 psi out.

4 things to repair in the garage, two written off, one fixed, and what was the 4th? 2 was Winding mechanism for parasol completely rusted shut.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

Raspberry pi, converting my MQTT subscriber python from Buster to Bookworm (Raspios). 4 show stopping differences and I am working on #4.

Turn Your Raspberry Pi into an Access Point (Bookworm ready) https://t.co/KlIIhudWVC via @TipsRaspberry . When I run journalctl | grep wifi it looks like the wifi setup keeps stopping and resrating. Not sure where to look to recify this.

Turn Your Raspberry Pi into an Access Point (Bookworm ready) https://t.co/KlIIhudWVC via @TipsRaspberry Thank you for this. I have struggled using old configuration on Bookworm. Think I nearly have it working now.

@LiamHalligan Does the EU want to take over everything? https://t.co/jj1luNTRhQ First time that I have heard of a nationwide version of linux.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@manairport Gatley is flooded.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@xdadevelopers Just found your note about Facebook Portal. Is there a way to get into it and manage it myself. Last time I tried I couldn't.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

I can't believe that you take 10-20 minutes to solve it. I think I'm doing badly if it takes me three minutes.

Today's Wordle answer is so hard it nearly cost me my 1,045-game streak – and it's all the NYT's fault https://t.co/UBYpr2eCEL

@Xjet. Why not put an update on that channel pointing people to your U-tube channel?

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@Xjet Just came across again your RC Model Reviews website - not been updated since 2012. I found it useful back about then when I had just retired and was playing with using 2.4GHz (WiFi) to an RC car. 1 of 2

@cursedconnector I bought headphones the other day and they had a tip-ring-ring-sleeve. The sleeve was the microphone, in the wrong place for me.

[Peter Merchant @Peter_M110]

@Tesco Should get some( as many as possible) Okanagan Apples while they are ready and perfect. I want some.
