Called @Tesco Abingdon for a #flujab but fell down a black hole in their menu system. Had to choose the “continue to hold” option several times… and then nobody answered anyway…

My @FreshRSS installation is the first, last, and sometimes only place I go on the Internet. When a site doesn’t have a feed but I wish it did, I add one using middleware (e.g. danq.me/far-side-rss).
Here’s to the next 20 years of my #RSS addiction.

When do I #blog? A breakdown of my top four #indieweb content types – articles, reposts, checkins and notes – by month.
Unsurprisingly my checkins, which represent #geocaching/#geohashing activity, grow in the spring and peak in the summer when the weather’s better!
At first I assumed the notes peak in November might have been thrown off by a single conference, e.g. musetech, but it turns out I’ve just done more note-friendly things in Novembers, like Challenge Robin II and my Cape Town meetup, which are enough to throw the numbers off.

Just learned Tuca & Bertie is getting a 2nd season (thanks Adult Swim, no thanks Netflix). Super excited. In anticipation I’m rewatching season 1 of this sort-of “upbeat feminist Bojack Horseman” and (re)loving it.

The Last Supper
At the weekend, Ruth‘s brother Robin begins his attempt to row the length of the UK (by inland waterways where possible). I just received this invitation to see him off…
I’m On Fire
In 2020 at @automattic my team, Alpha, forked into teams Fuel and Fire (I’ll tell you the story another time).
But it took ’til now for me to notice that our internal systems use something like the string ${jobTitle} on ${teamName}
. Which leads to this excellent title.

Can you tell me how to get in touch with your technical/security team @firstdirecthelp? Apparently my report about a vulnerability in your website contains characters that aren’t “valid” for your sucky feedback form… but it doesn’t say which ones.
Best Before
Thanks, supermarket bagels, for expressing exactly how I was feeing when I reached the kitchen this morning:
Look at Banner, Dan!

Despite the fact that it’s existed for 11 years, TIL about
globstar
in Bash. Set shopt -s globstar
and **
globs become fully recursive, making that bulk transcode operation much simpler. 🤯
