@coopuk Despite your "£1 off Easter confectionery" voucher stating it can be used with other offers and valid for Cadbury creme/mini eggs it wasn't honoured at my local Co-op - only the "25p off any Cadbury product" voucher is. I wonder how many other shoppers have been fooled?

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@ubuntu Well that's confusing, Ubuntu Summit 25.10 is on 23.10 and 24.10!

@UyuniProject Will a recording be made available?

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@gmktecdotcom Your order page doesn't accept the $10 first order code for a single product because of Earth Day deals which apply for 2+ products - it reports "Coupon codes are not supported after enjoying the rebate offer" except there is no rebate for a single product

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@Cambs_Traffic Please can you also set up a Bluesky account and post the same info from X to there?

If you have a view about the host OS for Uyuni, the base for #SUSE Multi-#Linux Manager, then you have <18 hours to contribute to the discussion

[UyuniProject @UyuniProject]

Hi there! As mentioned at the last Uyuni Community hours, we are now starting a discussion about the new host OS for Uyuni at GitHub: https://t.co/HncA6mmuno

Just over three years since I installed my #SUSEHarvester #homelab, another 45 minutes to upgrade to the next version, this time from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 #justrequiredpatience

@Hi_MINISFORUM Does the absence of the UM690 Pro from your website now mean you no longer sell that model? If so, what's the replacement product with 2x 2.5G Ethernet ports?

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@Morrisons @coopuk Two weeks later and @coopuk offers still not being correctly applied but this time I was expecting it and sorted in store. I've also still not received the refund/credit promised last time by Martin!

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

So not just @Morrisons that had loyalty scheme issues this Christmas - it seems @coopuk offers not working today!

From Friday (9 January) @SUSE are switching their CDN to Akamai which means host names and IP addresses used to access #SUSE updates will change - https://t.co/Y07OmQXm90 gives some details but also refers to an SCC page which I've screenshotted and attached

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@BobMahar Seems appropriate given I can't even access their website - guess they don't want non-US visitors?

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

I see it's been 7+ months since I last posted an update which is indicative of the slow progress I've been making although things have picked up in the past month or so - now more than 500 CDs ripped from 400 releases. I've still 1/3 of my CD collection still to rip!

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

I recently started ripping my CDs (finally!) and I'm (slowly) rediscovering some of my music plus learning some new things inc. that CDs can have hidden tracks! The latter is thanks to using the excellent (and free!) @MusicBrainz service - so far I've made ~100 edits in return

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

For anyone wondering, progress stalled whilst I was busy with other things - title of last CD ripped turned out to be pretty accurate! Guess I'm about halfway through my collection of CDs, hope to resume soon.

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

So I have a Bluesky Social account at https://t.co/F4G6BKkhZd and I've now started unfollowing accounts here which I follow there. I'm also adding the accounts I unfollow to a list so I can keep track - theoretically the numbers should tally ...

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

@cube8021 Currently giving me "404 page not found"

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

I backed @JetKvm on @Kickstarter https://t.co/Ql2xpS7qOc I'm thinking ahead for when I replace my #homelab NUCs

45 mins to upgrade my two-node #SUSEHarvester home lab from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 - I think that has to be the smoothest Harvester upgrade yet! https://t.co/Dr2UMNIuwC

[Simon Flood @simonflood]

It's all plain sailing with #SUSE Edge #SLEMicro #RancherPrime #K3s #Kubernetes #Linux #SUSEEdge https://t.co/K5CSa8QCUz
