    AYO THAT’S LEMMY! I DID IT AHHHH

    spoiler

    Besides the 97 different issues I had to solve per step, that was actually easier than I was expecting

      Confirmed. Source: am Baku

      anyways imma bounce now because I feel like exposing a computer in my actual house is a bad idea, even with cloudflare hiding my actual ip (if I did it right anyways).

      Idk if my federation is doing the do or not, but after I post this I’m officially closing down my personal Lemmy instance I lovingly entitled “Baku’s Offbrand Lemmy”

    About to speak to the company now. This is when I have to tell them about the police check. Here we go.

    Mentally, I’ve accepted that I’ll be disquialified for the role, but it was great getting the experience!

    Edit: Not looking good. Because of the type of client this company has a contract with, anything on a police check is bad news. The guy was nice, and is still going to double check, but yeah. No luck this time again.

    Edit 2: confirmed no luck. Cannot have anything on police check. Fuck.

    Went food shopping and got carried away by accident.

    Had to put back the lollies because I was scared I overspent but I did treat myself to 2 bottles of pink moscatos which I’m looking forward to soon.

    On the bright side though I did about 2 weeks worth of shopping.

    Hoping it lasts as long as I think it will.

    Dad’s in the USA at the moment, so I have an opportunity to use US Amazon and have him bring things home that are normally too expensive/unable to ship to Australia.

    So, I’m looking to get my wife a new lunch box. And even accounting for our American friends’ love of putting adjectives in front of any consumer product, I have to say the phrase “tactical lunchbox” just makes me giggle.

    “I’m far too manly to carry around a lunch box!”
    “But, it’s a tactical lunch box, dear.”
    “Oh. Well, that’s ok, then! I will take my tactical lunch box to work in a very manly fashion!”

      Food stays fresher longer if there’s an american flag and a picture of a bald eagle on the front. God forbid that any ignorant person should call these a, a, a, a ‘handbag’!

    Some guy swearing in the alley. It’s too early for your anger, bro.

    Edit: also purchased Doom and Doom II on GOG, because they were having a big sale and these were only $3 each. Having so much fun, such a nostalgia trip.

    Yesterday I decided that I wanted to mess around with hosting a Lemmy issue, and since I’ve been trying for the better part of 12 hours, I think it’s safe to say I wouldn’t make a very good Lemmy host.

    The Lemmy files themselves are fine, so far anyways. But actually getting them working has just been issue after issue after issue. I’m almost done - all I need to do is run the ansible playbook. Unfortunately I can’t get ansible to work through terminal. I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with ansible not being added to path, but no amount of adding things to path has helped, zsh still has no clue wtf an ansible is. So I decided to homebrew it. All well and good until I realised it’s actually building ansible and all of its requirements from scratch, with most of the requirements taking between 5 minutes and 2 hours to build 🙂

    As much as staring at a screen for 12 hours progressively fixing error after error kills the psyche, it’s also kind of fun. I mean I’m like an offbrand wizard at this point! I may take 48 hours to complete the spells you want, but that’s not because I forgot about you, it’s because I have to complete 9,787 things before I can do your spell + figure out wtaf I’m doing

      There’s something really special about what I call the “IT fucking bullshit cycle” that can be hard to explain. It really is rewarding lol

        I’m not sure I’ll get much reward out of this since this is just a test I’m running on whatever hardware I have to see if I can work it out to see if it’s worth renting a VPS

        llvm is still building, a good 40 minutes after it started. Google tells me it can take up to 4 hours, but I’m too scared to leave it alone and check in the morning😅

        Edit: 2 hours and it’s still building. I’m calling it and going to sleep and just sort of hoping it doesn’t fail overnight

      You’re a ritual caster not an instant spell caster. Rituals take time.

    Just got the message that I’m good to book an appointment with the MC doctor, which I’ve set for Monday morning (soonest available). I guess that means I’m borked enough to be eligible.

        Have a squizz at thangs or thingiverse and see if someone’s already modelled it. Cuts down on a lotta work

        (Mine i had to design from scratch. Thankfully it’s an older fridge so there’s fuck all in the door moulding and i could just bolt them in)

      One of mine has been sticking paws in the toaster. Pretty sure he’s not got the strength to turn it on, but OFF at the power point just in case. Suicidal idiots.

    Bit worrying to see a Victorian kid come back on a flight with bird flu, and that poultry outbreak. I was really hoping it would miss us.

    Edit: Do you think it would have been included in this years flu shot?

      No there’s no vax for it yet :-/ I don’t think they’ve seen human to human transmission yet tho.

        Ahh… guess that would be too much to ask. Given that there was warning I just hoped they’d already be working on it, or a vaguely similar strain would have been included

        Edit: But I mean if the possibility of transmission between people even exists then why wait? We saw the cost and disruption of lockdowns and the strollout. I really want the government to be more proactive this time if we’re at risk of another pandemic.
