Things my credit card balance didn't need today: A new raspberry pi...
Performance and wifi of the 3B+ in the form factor of an A?
Must have...

Further adventures in overcomplicating my home network: Moving the wifi to a separate vlan/subnet cut me off from my Sonos.
I have a choice of figuring out what to relay between subnets, or just chucking the sonos switchport into the wifi vlan.
I'll give you one guess which option I took, although I suspect you don't need me to confirm ;-)

I've been doing so well at avoiding throwing my money at humble bundle, but now they have released a #dystopian bundle, and my reaction is basically "insta-click".
SteamLibrary++ I guess...

Ticking over my home network stuff whilst I work, and have come to the conclusion that for my "don't trust these wifi lightbulbs" network, the VLAN ID should definitely be 107, because that's the incredibly obvious option for an IOT network.

Applied the next step of my "stupidly over-complicated home network" and moved my wifi to it's own VLAN. I'm still online*. It's almost like I know what I'm doing, or something ;-)

*technically "back online after remembering to remove strange default routes, and also add _some_ firewall rules to the new interface in pfsense", but that's close enough...

Insomnia has been kicking my butt this week, to the point where I'm trying no caffeine today in the hope of sleep later.
Tiredness and lack of stimulant means I've just fat-fingered my way into an interview question, and have created a file in my home directory called ~?
I'll leave that until Monday before attempting to delete it ;-) #sysadmin

Are there are cross-platform* screenshot tools which will prompt for a filename, then upload to your own destination?

Taking screenshots, renaming them, and manually uploading them to my web server is becoming a chore.

*(at a minimum, I'm hoping for macos and windows, bonus platforms are android, linux, ios in that order or preference)

1: acquire pager ✔️
2: buy yellow spray paint
3: ???
4: Hack the planet!

Finally got around to attempting to fix my old HDD enclosure. The old dead capacitors came off without problem, but the little voltage regulator chip had overheated so badly that the PCB underneath was completely destroyed.
Sadly beyond my ability to fix, so onwards to the more fun projects. My future involves an Altair-duino, and PiDP 8 and 11, as well as the finishing touches on my RC2014.

Oh come on homebrew, where's your sense of adventure...

Because nothing says "home network" like massively over-complicated setups ;-)

I finally got around to installing the unifi controller and moving my AC-lite access point over to than from the previous "set up once long ago using the android app" setup.

Already loving the dashboard, but I guess it's time now to properly plan things like my guest wifi, and start planning out my VLANs

This. Apart from the general 'complete and utter clusterfuck' that #brexit is, what are they currently trying to distract us from?
RT @GrantWhiteTZ@twitter.com The most sensible stance I've seen on #Brexit50p - it's a shiny trinket to distract from something more important about Brexit they don't want to discuss. A bauble to please pro Brexit citizens who readily consume regalia.

No spam ever, they said. I've never signed up to them, or even heard of them, but they just spammed my work email address to try and hawk their product. That'll be an automatic no from me forever then.

A little snakeknot paracord action on the new knife to improve the balance/make it easier to find. Decided not to go with the plain green cord ;-) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpb4Jzyl7WQ/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=vvfe414r9j3o

RT @DavidSchwimmer@twitter.com: Officers, I swear it wasn't me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.
