  Just get a bit of plastic packaging or something similar. Cut thin long rectangle. Then cut a small chunk out near the tip to form a small hook. Scrape along the bottom of the port in all directions. Pull out fluff, then repeat until no more fluff comes out. Then go again as you won’t have got it all out even if it looks like it

  But horses are measured in hands, average of 16 hands so 16000 hands, 8000 people. That’s like 1 electrical pixie per 11 people

  Anything but metric!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the biggest steps I’m going to assume are having a satellite dish, knowing where to point it, knowing what to send, then hope that someone is listening. Much easier for a hooligan to throw a rock at someone or find a can of spray paint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably hiding somewhere in the ribbon. I had the mispleaure of using word and outlook the other day, on someone else’s computer. Somehow I managed to save as an odt, somehow managed to attach end send it, only for the iPad not to be able to open the odt. Just said fuck it and went back to my lunix machine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just call it what it is fraud and a criminal organisation. Someone in the government or civil service authorised the payment for the goods after delivery. It’s not about returning the money it’s about sending a message, reclaim what you can an jail everyone involved. If this was anyone else for smaller amount of money and not linked to the government it would have happened already.

  I assumed it was like cream separating from milk, only wax from honey, but to be fair I have never really thought about it much

  I was in hospital for a week with that once upon a time, would not recommend 1/10

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a doctor here, if it’s warm to touch it’s an infection, draw a line around it in pen with a time and day, then In a couple of hours do it again. If it gets bigger, starts leaking puss or fluid got see a like now.

  Source: had a couple of skin infections before

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also kind of squished on some racking, and with it been a 4u rack case full of HDD it’s quite heavy. If you have made it this far in to the garage, you not only have done well but passed the beer collection and numerous cordless power tools. It also has a sign saying beware of the leopard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Door lock and house alarm, also mines at the back of the garage with plenty of more easily stealable things in front of it.

  But it’s all stupid people and marketing people understand more=better cheaper=better. I think it’s why ev adoption has been so poor, questions I get asked are what’s the range like? Doesn’t it take forever to charge? And aren’t they really expensive?

  So if you have been around long enough you might remember the Hitachi (IBM) deathstars wizardprang.wordpress.com/…/the-last-deathstar/

  I see Hitachi and think no fucking way, where as Seagate I used to see as an always yes. Now I just stick the disks in a zfs array and call it done

  What I’m really waiting for is large capacity ssds with sata.
