Melbourne

Snoozy day today

My neighbours have a fig tree. In the morning, lorikeets come for breakfast. During the day, noisy miners, who seem to eat both the fruit and maybe pick off bugs? Then at night it’s possum and bat shift. I’ve also seen a butcher bird sitting in it with a skink in its beak. This tree is feeding a whole neighbourhood of wildlife. It’s lovely to see.

woooo mate's workplace was decommissioning a site and junking everything in a "everything must go" rip down and he earmarked me a friggin' 50" hisense. Went over there to help him nab (and the whole rack cabinet he marked for himself)and discovered a box of Pine64 builds that were being tossed as ewaste. Builds, parts (like a dozen screens, motherboards, you name it) and a whole fuckin' box of about a thousand USB-mounted chips I also grabbed for another mutual friend big in building home automation.

Just googled the usb chips and they're fucking digispark attiny85 boards.

I have about a thousand of them. Not hyperbolic. He's creaming his fucking pants rn.

(I also nabbed some routers for conversion to openWRT for the mesh I want to build, got enough terabyte drives to finish off my proxmox at zero cost......and also the TV turned out to be 55 inches. oh nooooooooo)

How desperate do you have to be for coffee to rock up to the servo in your pjs and dirty 1970s dressing gown?

And no it wasn't me.

NSW Police have so far been unable to locate the bodies of Luke and Jesse.

Clearly, the alleged murder is either staying silent or denying either his involvement or knowledge of their location.

It is a depraved enough act to commit murder, but to prolong the suffering of friends and family really makes it that much worse.

I got fish & chips for me & the cat. The cat refused to eat the fish, usually his favourite thing. What could be going on:

1. The cat is sick and needs to be rushed to a vet
2. The fish was bad and I'm going to be sick soon
3. The cat is a contrary little goose.

I'm leaning towards option 3, but let's see where the night takes us.

Good news is little dog seems to love his new food. The big test is will this be good for his gut.

So, White Mojo cafe in Eastland is lovely, but their coffee mugs are too small lol

Otherwise, a lovely lunch with Dad. Talked about the past and the future. I forget sometimes how alike we are.

I have marketed,I have thrown out my old balcony table (which was crumbling into non existence), I have watered my plants, I have put my washing on…

Productivity! Now I can chill for the afternoon!

Among the many other things I did today, I bought new pyjamas.

I’m as cozy as it’s possible to be

Tusbah ala khair

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've been thinking about something a lot lately:

When I see a Reddit post that has high engagement, 8/10 times it's a topic that's creating division in the comment section.

The more engagement, the more ad revenue for the site. Societal discourse is changed by the need for ad revenue. Advertising dollars shape society a lot more than I realised.

/Half asleep rant

I've woken up with a fuzzy head today. I don't know what to do right now.

I’m going to the market. Does anyone want anything?

One of the things I find surprising about the murder of the Sydney gay couple is just how careless the alleged killer was with the murder weapon and hiding evidence. Like wouldn't you think being part of Police he might be just a bit better at that kind of thing?

Using a police issued gun as the murder weapon? Really? Dumping bloodied clothes near a dumpster bin a few blocks from a cop shop? Not destroying the van he drove around with the night of the murder? I could go on.
