Honestly my favourite thing about the fediverse at the moment is the #breadposting - more please. Never stop not breadposting.

Hi #Chinwag - please consider yourselves informed that @dolldolldoll is now your official "backup admin" if a hit-by-a-bus situation should occur - follow her main at @dolldolldoll if you want!
I've known Ivy for close to two decades now, we've co-sysadmined things previously and I vouch that you can trust her as you trust me.
Ivy will have access to all the backend systems and accounts, not to run things on a daily basis, but to ensure continuity of service if I can't.

Hey, I just wanted to say a quick #welcome to the recent Chinwag arrivals!
Chinwag's reason for existing is to provide communication tools for people, which is something I've always been interested in. I kind of target #Australian users, but welcome anyone from anywhere.

If you have any questions or concerns hit me up!
My new neighbours had some tradies over this morning, bright and early, ripping some cladding off. Not a huge amount of noise, wasn't an issue, I was already up.
As soon as they were done, said neighbour brought me a bottle of wine and apologised for the noise.
I think we're going to get along fine. I took the opportunity to ask if they had any allergies or intolerances, food-wise. The answer was "no" so I hope they like finding bread rolls on their doorstep. 😁

I didn't see a good #Australia #NSW #GIS #covid map so I made one.

I'm not a fan of "how to do X" videos as a genre, preferring clear written instructions and a photo or two, but I'll make an exception for this guy's delivery of "How to siphon (without sucking a hose)".

Made these sans pepperoni. This is all that's left.

I think I can consider this batch a success. Everything turned out very well except the definition of the lines. I almost skipped that anyway, but I do like having some kind of pattern on top.

i just joined #mastodon and noticed it's tough to find active people to follow. #trunk https://communitywiki.org/trunk has built themed lists, which are a great start, but many accounts are stale and there's a lot of clicking to navigate online.
so last night i played with #trunk's API and packaged up some filtering and automation into #python/#selenium so all i have to do is 1 click confirm. i put it on gh this morning for other #newbies like me. https://github.com/lots-of-things/pytrunk
I just made my first #bread using a tangzhong and I can't believe it took me so long, what a difference. Some pretty good hot cross bun pictures are going to be coming shortly. #breadposting

If I can manage to say "Heck it" instead of "fuckbadgers" around your kid, you can manage to say "Ten mil" rather than "Just a hair over twenty-five sixty-fourths of an inch" around mine THANK YOU VERY MUCH END RANT SEND TOOT
"Wow everything is just feeling so tedious this morning, must be nearly lunchtime, I could use a break."

Today is apparently National Beer Day! Happy NBD, enjoy! 🍻
I'm a responsible adult and if I want to have a second whiskey sour at 11pm on a work night I damn well will.
Since my morning commute became clicking on a VPN menu, things have really loosened up around here.

Today is my first day on Mastodon. I’m a music creator, and I use a variety of digital audio workstations to make music. I make music that is upbeat. #introductions

#nowplaying Philip Glass’ Koyaanisqatsi and Naqoyqatsi film-symphonies.
Written 20 years apart in 1982 and 2002 respectively, these film soundtracks are illustrative of the development of Glass’ style over the years, and his approach to creating a specific identity for a work while retaining his stylistic practice.

Crimson Rosellas in the back yard today. Some of the longer grass is seeding, and they always like a bit of fresh grass seed.
Yesterday while I was in the office, I restarted someone's machine that wasn't responding remotely. Looked like it got hung up for some reason on a prompt for user input while updating something.
Me: "I'll be on site for a few more hours if you want to trigger that update and see if it gets stuck again."
Them Yesterday: "I can access it now, it's OK."
Them Today: "It's done the same thing again, can you restart it?"
