A while ago I quit various social media platforms, gaming groups and technical IRC channels citing grounds of ill health.
Twitter, email and my blog is all I use now.

I have decided today to write why:

@flameeyes @SwiftOnSecurity @davidgerard Not that I have any bias ofc, but there is a distinct lack of DHCPv6 in stock Android....

Working on a password game with increasingly unhinged rules.

Not usually a big poster of other people's humor... but this was too good to not pass along https://t.co/zNaouqQUGW

Updated my personal site https://t.co/uafYECqLDf to use SvelteKit!

Yes, this means that blogging is back as it's much easier to maintain and hopefully won't keep breaking on me like my older CMS's.

downloads for my projects are now only available from github

@OFLoakfurniture you are sending me marketing texts I have never agreed to and which I cannot reply stop to because the number does not accept replies.

This is against the law and shall be reported to @Ofcom.

Was hoping to do some coding over the winter break, but have been down with COVID since boxing day and it's showing no signs of clearing.

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

@StokesNeuro Fuck. Dude.

I don't know you but I'm in the same boat just quarter to quarter.

Best!

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

@woodsb02 @debdrup I hope to find some time to address at least the one blocking bug I have for a new release.

@OracleAl Stuck here right now. I think 5 fire engines have gone past.

Anyone have eyes on the scene?

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

Edited my bio. Likely to leave twitter for a while and use something hopefully better. Time will tell!

Replying to everyone wishing me well would be a full time job! Seriously, my inbox is more random well wishers than spammers or other bad actors for the past few weeks.

Thankyou all for being a shining light when I have dark times. ❤️

@bentsukun @etnapierala @FreeBSDHelp @freebsd That works across all BSD.
It also works on Linux, but you need to look for AF_PACKET instead and extract the address differently.

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

@bentsukun This is just a case of bad coding.
Pun intended!

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

@Cryo I know right?

Our toys just get smaller!
So unfair.

@tobmaster Guilty as charged!

Correct attribution is one of the core principles of what makes open source successful and enjoyable.

@i3enedek I have a dog who is chewing through my ethernet run under the porch. I might invest in this!

[Roy Marples @rsmarples]

I don't #NetBSD much these days, but when none of my platforms build tools xlint/lint1 it's annoying. Especially when the error is not finding a generated file. I don't see any obvious commit to break, but seriously this should not have happened.

@i3enedek I have an induction hob and it fries my egg very well.
I set the power level to 6 (max 9) and then go max power. Once the pan starts smoking reduce back to 6 and add a pea sized amount of butter. Once sizzled and spread, crack the egg in and cook.

Perfectly timed to toast.

Hopefully just a blip on my cancer journey which wouldn't be possible without my loving family and my now long suffering wife whom I love ever-so much!
