Overall, a great trip to #fosdem. Yes, it was busy as ever, but it was a fantastic atmosphere and I chatted with some great people.

I think the key is to not really worry too much about the talks - as someone said, you can watch those online anyway. What's important is the conversations, the […]

Github's lack of #ipv6 is really apparent at #fosdem - thousands of hackers trying to use it via NAT64 means api.github.com gets blocked/ratelimited from the NAT IP

This year's #fosdem AirBnB came with the exciting responsibility of looking after and feeding this 17-year old very demanding #cat

Made it onto the Harwich-Hook of Holland ferry en route to #fosdem - good beer and surprisingly great curry from the restaurant!

Heading to #fosdem tomorrow evening, getting the Harwich ferry for a change - looking forward to a morning in Rotterdam too on Friday!

But what do I find? My Forgejo instance is seeing over 20k unique IPs a day, each fetching exactly one URL. I use Forgejo largely for internal projects, but I have a few open source thingies public there. It turns out there are two 10k+ IP netblocks in China scraping every page on my instance […]

This could not be more our jam.

Not a good day for #gigaclear today - our #broadband in Cambridgeshire has been off since about 10am and now they’re showing issues in Oxfordshire too https://gigaclear.com/network-status

OMG vegans, you kept this one quiet didn't you.

Bought a tub of this in the supermarket today because Mrs LT is lactose intolerant and wow, this is amazing. It's the same luxurious texture as double cream but sweeter and doesn't have that slightly […]

Sitting in the dark again during another rural #powercut

About 2 hours into a Sunday night game of Through the Ages with Anna. Stage 2 of 4. It’s unclear who’s winning at this point.

Going to #why2025 means digging out a desktop Linux laptop (I know…), and dealing with a million exciting papercuts.

The one that constantly baffles me is where it lets you pick a keyboard mapping for the logged-in desktop, but it doesn't apply to the login window/greeter? Like as if you have […]

Please enjoy the photo of Maple the retired K-9 in a beekeeping suit. #dogs

Fantastic #ukscouting #hillwalking weekend - exploring the Brecon Beacons (Terrain1 territory) with the Cambridgeshire County mountaineering team and some #scouts!

Scouts Easter camp day 2! Cold night last night, it got down to freezing according to the thermometer, but all the scouts seemed fine.

Today we’ve cooked fry up, done tent inspections, 10k walk from the site around the Lodes, had lunch, played games - surprised […]
