I heard last night a UK MP didn't back the assisted dying bill because of "her faith"

I'm sure the thousands of people who voted for her who do not share "her faith" were fine with that..

The #samsung galaxy S10 ultra is the tablet the iPad pro wishes it could be.. I love the big screen, and the ability toulti task and run things I just never could on my iPad pro

Very much a personal preference

today we flew from London to Bangkok

The world I live in, specifically long distance flight has changed as I knew it.

My OG Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook had 40% battery at the end of a 12hr flight.. 100% screen on use

There was 180Mbps internet free for the whole flight #qatar

Google #Gemini #ai conversation ability tonight has been helping my wife with mock interview practice.

It's so good, questions, analysis, focus on alternative answers, methods with dealing with the unknown

Really impressed

I've had to drop #tailscale it's battery usage on #android has been awful for years and it seems to be getting worse.

I have migrated to #netbird and it's doing what I need it to including #exitnode now on free tier

So #opearbrowser finally (I just found out) has account syncing on #android so that now makes it a hugely viable and usable solution on my phone, tablet and Linux pc. It's also tweaked to run well on #chromebook pcs

Why #devops doesn't work

Ops: we checked the hardware, networking, operating system, logs, metrics, we have run 15 realtime script tests and see no issue to cause a problem.

Dev: The code worked on my pc a week ago, it must be a hardware issue

I recently lost my Sony MX3 headphones and couldn't justify the price tag of the MX5 or Bose, so i had a look at the other end of the over ear market and it turns out Anker is owning it..

Centralising your Journald logs using Filebeat and Graylog 6.x

#Graylog is a good option for getting logs centralised, managed and viewable so you can alert on them

Weeks like this on remind me just how bipolar coding makes me, the highs and lows are awful..

I'm only doing Terraform, I'm still learning Terraform, I've done a lot of the project software I just find it so frustrating as I have a sysadmin brain not a dev one

I agreed on this holiday to "eat out of my comfort zone". I'm not a person who eats McD or KFC while in Thailand, however I know what I like..

this trip however it's been a game of Bangkok Belly roulette.. the shopping mall sushi buffet, that might have tipped me..

what i'm doing here is done with online guides for Nginx proxy Manager, #Cloudflare and Letsencrypt

This is the same thing with #HAProxy,

I've added
- Got Hooks
- using a conf.d folder
- A script to generate configs

Im loving using AI (Gemini) i can through the use of prompts and direction create a Web app is huge.

I did this last night, and in a couple of hours created this.

It parses local and remote log files, AI analyses them and sends that to my discord

A few months back I moved away from Apple back to android, however did miss the Ipad Pro's large screen. I had a look round and ended up with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a great tablet.
If you Google the mouthful, "Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 ultra review," you'll be forgiven for thinking this tablet is "Unwieldy," "too big," and "a behemoth." The internet is covered with page 1 and 2...

I've been using #tailscale for a few years and thought I'd give #twingate a go.

For Endpoint VPN back into a #homelab it's good, I like the #zerotrust model

The lack of #exitnode support on the free tier is however a deal-breaker as I use that a lot on public WiFi

The #samsung galaxy tab 10 ultra, according to the tech influencers, you shouldn't buy because the screen is just too big, but also think the iPad pro is amazing with it's zero multi tasking

They are wrong, if you are looking for an android 2 in 1 laptop this thing is amazing
