I enjoy how the UK socket has a slot-head screw representing the quintessentially British war of traditionalism versus meaningful change.

One UK and two European sockets side-by-side, under the same face plate.

Probably my first time seeing this before. One UK and two European sockets next to each other on the Eng <-> NL Stena Line ferry.

Extremely uninteresting unless it's interesting to you.

Yours sincerely,

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social Can you guys spin up a podcast where you argue about sports vs video games now?

Petty, I love it!

Elder Johnson, huh? Weird flex, but okay.

A bottle of Daddies sauce.

I’m thinking a lot about British food while I’m here. For example, how many daddies does it take to make a bottle of sauce, and how do they get the right consistency?

Okay, I’ve run the tests and I can safely say that Marmite is better than Vegemite.

Having said that, they’re both vile.

Having said that, I’ll keep eating Marmite. I’m not sure why but it feels like some kind of masochistic desire.

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

I had no idea you could add haptics on the web!

Today I woke up at 4:30. The intention was to get up at 5:30, but because I was on the ferry from CET to GMT and airplane mode was on, my phone didn’t know any better.

Got so used to not having to think about this when travelling!

Hahaha it’ll be on Saturday!

It’s just a blogging/newsletter platform. There are so many alternatives that it’s not even worth arguing for.

Yes, I agree, I love the idea!

Microsoft uses "Streisand Effect". It's effective!

There are so many of these tools popping up. It's really hard to figure out which ones are worth our time and will survive. Common problem with it being so easy to build stuff at the moment, I suppose :(.

Not to mention that another large portion of communication is coming from a separate megalomaniac billionaire paedophile's personal blogging side-project.

Nuts that there's a war on and most of the communication is being done through some billionaire's CSAM-generating side-project.

My menu's quite different so there's probably some regional / A/B stuff going on. But in any case, it's pretty straightforward once we get there 😁

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Congratulations!

X is more than just a Y. It's a Y.

It should! I'm running it alongside a whole bunch of other stuff on an aging NAS and rusting mechanical disks and it's still really snappy. Snappier than any other solution I've tried to date!

I do have the DB on an (old, SATA) SSD, though, which is recommended.
