ChewieLikes playing with technology, decentralization, electronic music and rabbits. Likes snow when he can find it.
ChewieSay hello to Dalgona :)

When he was a baby, somehow he broke his leg, but as he was young enough the vet said it should heal.
They splinted his leg with some lollypop sticks and a bandage, which he kept on for a couple of weeks, and now you'd never know he'd had that injury 😅

ChewieSay hello to Hugo and wish him well - the poor boy had to say goodbye to his disabled sister yesterday 😭

ChewieYesterday we (@kathryn@mammut.gogreenit.net and I) helped https://bunnyjackpotfoundation.co.uk/ and https://shrewsburyrabbitrescue.weebly.com/ deliver some #rabbits to foster homes from volunteers that had rescued them from a meat farm that closed. Hopefully the cuties will get to loving permanent homes soon after a trip to the vet. The conditions were pretty grim - small, cages half-full of maggot-infested hay, and they all have ear-mites 😭
ChewieAwesome!
I've been wanting to do that for ages, thank you ❤

Disappearing scrollbars are seriously annoying.
Chewie#OSA bullshit.
I revisited a browser tab I had open for #Reddit a few weeks ago for a Rabbit health forum.
It was showing an injury or something, and has a "NSFW" tag on it, which as I am in the UK, now has a popup that says "Mature Content warning"... together with a helpful link on how to "browse anonymously"... hmmm.
I thought companies would be in trouble for promoting workarounds for our stupid law?
ChewieI didn't realise #TomsHW had gone to #ClickBait shittyness:
https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/windows-operating-systems/windows-10-will-die-this-fall-heres-how-to-survive
"Windows 10 will die this fall — here's how to survive"
oh no! we're all doomed.....
then 1 paragraph in:
"If you're one of the countless among us who still use Windows 10, don't stress — your copy of Windows won't suddenly shut down and self-destruct if you turn it on after October 15."
oh, well that's ok then....
Panic over.

ChewieAs much as I bash #Cisco for their overpriced hardware and crappy licencing system, over 25years support (release date says "pre-1999") for a switch chassis isn't bad:

ChewieGood morning!
Tomorrow evening it is #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) again in #Manchester.
Join them for a #Networking #MeetUp at the Northern Monk (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester) from 7pm.
The talk will be by James Blessing: 'Did “we” build the wrong network?'
Hot on the heels of his June presentation, and coming from similar experience, James is back to speak to you all about what he thinks of all our networks. There is no doubt given James’ usual style that this will be a light-hearted and thought provoking gallop through the networks we’ve built, and those we will likely build in the future.
I'll be there for 🍻

Chewie#Riello #UPS, How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
1. "Firmware" update is 2GB .... for a UPS???? I think it's a full linux distro
2. The Windows "Configuration" program didn't find the UPS via IP, and via IP, you can't make any changes anyway
3. After upgrading to a new version, even though I downloaded it from the Riello web site, it now says "unofficial" on the system status, wtf??
4. When configuring the network details and backspacing over the IP address showing the default "DHCP" so I could put in a static address, I could delete more than 4 characters and started deleting the prompt, wtf?
5. For the latest download version, you don't download it from their main web page, you have to copy the link (which I didn't realise was so long so I didn't copy it all and it generated a 404). Haven't those guys heard of hyperlinks???
6. The reset button is directly under the USB port, That's a poor design decision as you could press it by mistake easily.

ChewieI have no idea how expensive it was, but although #APC UPSes are expensive, I would pick that make over Riello any day.
