Whenever a politician (or similar) claims "I've done nothing wrong" I'm reminded of my dad's perfect response: "So why did you stop doing it when you were found out?".
Spent an hour or more today trying to configure dnsmasq on my NAS to give ipv6 addresses for local machines before I realised that I hadn't enabled ipv6 on the NAS. I'm glad I don't do this for a living.

This got more attention than I expected. Over 300 boosts and 450 favourites, well more than anything else I've ever posted.
Cheating from Milan. The assistant is supposed to place the mermaid according to the driver's directions, not their own judgement.

Measurable rain at last. More please.
Just picked a 350 g pear off one of the trees in my garden.

Today I learned that the best known Albinoni piece isn't actually by Albinoni.
I've just renamed my garden pond "Lake Trump".

I'm a lazy gardener, so I don't fancy doing all the "right" things with compost - turning, aeration, etc. I just pile it all up and leave it alone. Like my father did, and he was a keen gardener.

@snaprails@cupoftea.social @Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social It's always amazed me how different countries, given similar requirements, come up with such different looking machines. UK - elegant, Germany - purposeful, USA - ugh!
I'm not following #EMFCamp posts, but a lot of people I follow are posting about it. I keep thinking it's the sort of thing I (or a younger me) might enjoy, but then I remember it's all about interacting with people.
Saw some broad-winged damselflies on my walk this afternoon, I think a male doing a courtship display to a female.

I've just set up a new topping up system for my pond, to replace the previous gravity drip feed from my water butts. A 12 V peristaltic pump in a 3D printed mount is installed inside the garage, with 4 mm hoses from the water butts and to the pond. A time switch runs it for ½ an hour every 3 hours, to be adjusted as needed.

Whenever I see a video like this I can almost feel that lovely alpine air in my lungs.

@jamesjefferies@mastodon.me.uk We went to Interlaken last year, by train for the first time. Gentle strolls by the lake rather than steep mountain paths is more suitable for us now we've got old.
Just had probably my shortest ever dental appointment. I'm pleased that the dentist noticed my gums are looking much healthier than 6 months ago. I bought an electric toothbrush soon after the last check up and it has really made a difference.
Less impressed that the dentist thought I was due for some X-rays, until I reminded him that he did a set last time.

@simontatham@hachyderm.io I suppose you want a histogram of the digits to be very spiky or very flat, but I've no idea how you'd express that as an algorithm.

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social I wondered if soaking them in something might help. The question being what "something" to use.

Nice to hear a bit of Scheidt on Radio 3.
I got today's #BBCRadio3 "morning stretch" instantly. I usually can't get it at all.

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social In my house the plaster runs out before it reaches the floor, all hidden by 6 inch tall skirting. Makes life easier for the plasterers I suppose.
I'm getting fed up with urban foxes dragging pond weed out of my pond. Wondering if an electric fence might work as a visually unobtrusive way to protect it.
