  • Conversing to the Fediverse With WordPress

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteRecently I saw a post stating that WordPress can speak with the fediverse more effectively. For months we could post to the fediverse but if we replied to a toot via WordPress it would be lost. Those on Mastodon instances would comment but be "ignored". For months I thought that it…

  • Playing with Galaxus Mobile

    Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is a chance that I have had the same Swisscom contract since 2003 or 2007 non-stop. In that time I have been very happy with network coverage. What I am less happy with is the price. At seventy or more francs for unlimited data it becomes very expensive on a yearly…

  • The last two days were absurd

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI have nothing to write because the last two days were absurd

  • Expired Tailscale Device Keys

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteYesterday I found myself accessing Audiobookshelf on one of my Pi devices in the morning and it timed out in the morning. As I am travelling this situation is not ideal as I had to find a way to recover access. I checked the tailscale device list and could see that…

  • The Hidden Wash Basin

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen roads are built they often require a lot of soil to flatten the land so that the road may be built. In the process objects are hidden. In one case old clothes washing basins were hidden beneath a road. It’s funny to see a road, a hole, and within the…
