As is tradition in the UK, every 1-2 years in order to get internet at a good price you have to switch to a different company!?! I will doing so on the 3rd of September so there may be a period when this site isn't accessible.
As an added bonus this time I will also be affected by the switching off of the traditional phone service and the need for a new IP phone service at extra cost. This is because of (checks notes) Progress! I have declined the extra cost because I find the idea of paying an extra £10-15 a month for scammers to call me several times a day to be a bad investment. It's not like I don't already have a mobile phone with free calls and wifi-calling at home already.
"Progress" is up there with "Brexit" for being some of the dumbest shit imaginable XD
I bought an old Kyosho Inferno 1/8th scale nitro car to rebuild and convert to eletric. The motor had blown and been removed and the car was pretty worn out and tired.
Well godaddy has decided to stop allowing people with less than 50 domains to automatically update their DNS records. This means I can't keep Merlins-Bar automatically pointing to my server if my IP changes!
The useless cunt's didn't even have the decency to inform anyone they were doing it!
Fuck 'em. Time to change to a better company. There might be some disruption until it's sorted.
My 17 year old beautiful big sweet boy has suffered with mouth inflammation that makes eating difficult and painful for about 18 months. He's had injections every 3 weeks to help with it but slowly it got worse. Over the weekend we decided it was the right time to call it.
I was playing around with LMStudio, an ai chat system you can run on your own computer. It can use various freely available LLM models to provide chat assistance like chatgpt. I asked it about lasagne... yikes!
In the UK the main opposition party to the government managed to get a enquiry started on Boris Johnsons, and the government of the time, handling of the pandemic. The group running the enquiry are currently interviewing various people about what happened. They also already have emails and phone messages from that time from most of the people involved. Some of the revelations are mind blowing, like BJ thinking that a video he saw on youtube of a guy blowing a hair dryer up his nose was a viable way to deal with with covid! He then raised this issue with the UK's 2 top scientific advisers in a top level government meeting!?!?!
This video is a great guy called Phil who talks about UK politics every day. He often talks about Brexit disasters and government corruption. I enjoy his videos, but it's a shame it's real and not a comedy!
