It's been theorised that it's an evolutionary response to a predator that looked almost human but wasn't.

(We have a rule: whoever's been longer since a bath or shower has to pour the drinks, because they're smellier.

Turns out 4 out of the 6 interfaces have died in the pfsense box, including the 2 I was using. The remaining 2 is all I need anyway, and I needed it back up and running. #homelab16 Oct 2026 00:52 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxxeeyb5m5o2https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mxwnkruz4q52Cleared all the crap off the saw. Fence wouldn't go all the way to the blade, which was a shade worrying until I noticed the front rail had got a bit bent in shipping.

I wonder how much I'll have to dismember this thing before I can get at both sides of the blade. #woodworking14 Oct 2026 16:39 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxtydkchmti2https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mxrja5jp2sw2World's smallest panel saw arrived. #woodworking13 Oct 2026 17:02 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxrja5jp2sw2https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mxlxrlehqlg2Oh, fuck you.You've made a killing from me over the years but that's not enough, you want to hoover up data from my phone too. #enshittification11 Oct 2026 12:08 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxlxrlehqlg2https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mxjhfvhpmbc2Having a bit of a weekend. My router died yesterday, so I've had to haul out the ISP router I've kept stashed in a box against this eventuality, but the router was also running my reverse proxy so all my services are a bit bollocksed. #homelab10 Oct 2026 12:09 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxjhfvhpmbc2https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mxhmqcnbns62I may have scored a bargain. #woodworking09 Oct 2026 18:39 +0000at://did:plc:letz6o7orl3qppmkgqrjgb2l/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxhmqcnbns62https://bsky.app/profile/woe2you.beige.party.ap.brid.gy/post/3mx7exrvjbfm2I use two kettles on a regular basis.
