I love that his quote was so perfectly British. I imagine he had a nice cup of tea after he finished too.
This.
If Kylie Minogue is in my bed it’s definitely a dream.
I had to install a firmware update in my Nike trainers not long after I got them. Welcome to the future.

Atmos Soundbar rear speaker setup
I've recently purchased a Samsung Q990C and so far I'm really happy with it. I want to get the best out of it and was hoping someone could give some advice on rear speaker placement.
My room is a strange shape, but basically where I sit I have my TV in front with the soundbar underneath. My sofa is on the other side of the room, a little distance from the wall behind me, enough that I am able to place the rear speakers just behind me and to each side, around ear level (ish). However, there is no wall on mi right side as my room is L shaped, so there is nowhere for the right rear speaker to bounce the audio from it's side speaker back in to the room.
What I was thinking was I could change the setup in the Samsung SmartThings app and put the rear speakers in to front speaker mode, and swap them over so the Right is on the Left and vice-versa. In my mind, this would mean the side-facing speakers on the rears would be facing in to the room rather than out, but would be on the cor
Porn for people who like poop
Unfortunately they’re also much more expensive than the other options unfortunately. That feature does sound exact i need.
however, I have a three storey house and so use Alexa’s drop in and announcement features as intercoms as the kids would never hear me from the kitchen on the ground floor when they’re in their top floor bedrooms. Being able to put Alexa’s wherever I want for very little outlay was a big plus.
The problem I have is that I have my Apple Music family account hooked up to my Alexa’s and Sonos so the kids can listen to whatever they want and I can play music through the Sonos using Alexa when I’m cooking and can’t use my hands.
Unfortunately this means that my favourites mix and any recommendations are tainted with the godawful noise my kids call music 😂
There really needs to be a way to link an Alexa or other device to a specific Apple Music family member.
We don’t get that in the UK so it’s never really been an option for us unfortunately
Seeing as it was supposed to become free to cross 20 years ago…
It’s the clbuttic problem, also known as the Scunthorpe problem.

Have been waiting for this. It seems a bit broken at the moment though, seems to stop working after a few comments?
I absolutely hate SO. It’s my last resort when looking for help, and I’ve never signed up.
Between snarky arseholes, the “already answered here” comments even when the question isn’t the same, and people saying “dw i solved it” and never stating how they solved it the whole place can just fuck of.
WhipperSnapper, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality code!
I quite enjoy Quinn’s videos on Snazzy Labs.
Not sure if it fits your requirements exactly but I just put a service behind TwinGate and it works well for my usage case. I can allow my wife secure access to services she needs to access from anywhere securely - she just opens the app to connect and she can access what she needs.
I haven’t but you can enable 2FA, as well as restricting based on things like hardware, OS and whether a device has biometrics.
I’ve been fighting nextckoud over the last few days. I got it up and running, yay. But the. I could not get Nextcloud office or Onlyoffice to work at all.
I used the AIO docker install and followed all the instructions for setup behind cloudflare tunnels but I’m guessing it’s something to do with that, but I just don’t have the time or patience to spend hours trying to troubleshoot why I can install onlyoffice but it won’t allow me to create documents.
I may revisit in the future but the frustration levels are just too high atm.
Drag and drop would be useful. Editing the conf.yml file isn’t too bad unless you accidentally mess up the spacing but I make backups before editing just in case.
Now I’ve got it pretty much how I want it I’ll probably only be editing the config every so often. Adding new items is easy enough in the GUI, it’s only really widgets etc where I had to get my hands dirty.
As we seem to be sharing dashboards....
I installed Dashy a couple of days ago and have got things pretty much how I want them I think. There is more off the bottom of the screen but this screen shot shows the main things I need.
I've set the stats widgets to auto-collapse on load so they don't take up the entire screen, and I'm pulling those from Glances running on my ProxMox server.
Really impressed with Dashy, and how easy it is to configure and customise.
Home Assistant - am I missing something?
I decided to spin up Home Assistant on a VM on my server yesterday, and so far I'm not having much luck getting to to much that is actually useful.
I'm wondering if it's me doing something wrong, but I can't see what that would be.
I've signed up for the free trial of the cloud services which all seems to have gone fine, and I have a couple of integrations working (Roomba, printer ink levels, Sonos and a couple of others) but mostly everything else I've tried just doesn't want to play ball
- Apple TV - won't pair - I press the pair button in HA but the ATV doesn't respond with a pairing code
- Ring doorbell / cameras - these are found but won't display a live feed
- Ring alarm - not recognised at all
- Netatmo thermostat - widget displays but doesn't sync correctly with thermostat and if I try to adjust temp it sets the target temp to 137 degrees C
- Hue lights - having issues but this one might be my hub not HA
I was really hoping I could set up automations to, say, turn off
Cloudflare tunnels on a pi zero?
I use Cloudflare tunnels for most of my self hosted stuff and I wanted to point a subdomain at my piHole, but it seems that you can’t install the cloudflared software on a pi zero. Is there any way to get this working?
It’s not a massive issue if not as I’m currently just pointing to my Pi-hole from my load balancer but it would be nice to have everything tunnelled.
You can now have more than 10 child views
Xcode 15b3 allows as many child views in SwiftUI as you need, with no need to use Group!
Gone are the days of forgetting how many views you’ve used and then getting an error at compile time because you used 11 child views 😂
New kitten
This is our new (yet to be named) kitten. He joined us yesterday. I now have seven cats. Some people would say I have a problem :)
Posting images?
This might be a stupid question but how do I post an image in Memmy? Does I have to host the image and then link? I can’t seem to see how I can access my camera roll?
Good luck with the App Store submission
Good luck with the App Store submission. Hopefully you’re not stuck in “Awaiting review” limbo for too long.
ChatGPT - is using it cheating?
Over the last year I've been learning Swift and starting to put together some iOS apps. I'd definitely class myself as a Swift beginner.
I'm currently building an app and today I used ChatGPT to help with a function I needed to write. I found myself wondering if somehow I was "cheating". In the past I would have used YouTube videos, online tutorials and Stack Overflow, and adapted what I found to work for my particular usage case.
Is using ChatGPT different? The fact that ChatGPT explains the code it writes and often the code still needs fettling to get it to work makes me think that it is a useful learning tool and that as long as I take the time to read the explanations given and ensure I understand what the code is doing then it's probably a good thing on balance.
I was just wondering what other people's thoughts are?
Also, as a side note, I found that chucking code I had written in to ChatGPT and asking it to comment every line was pretty successful and a. big time saver
Issues with Kemp LoadMaster
Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out with an issue I keep having with Kemp Loadmaster.
I use Kemp to point various subdomains to different VMs and physical servers and for the most part, everything is working. In the attached image all the VS above the disabled one are working just fine. The issue is with 10.0.0.75:5100.
However, if I try and add any additional VSs they just don't seem to work. Instead, they just point to the website hosted at my domain and the subdomain is ignored (so, if I navigate to the subdomain that points to 10.0.0.75:5100 instead I'm seeing the site hosted on 10.0.0.70).
I've created the VS, created the relevant rules and as far as I can see everything is set up in a similar fashion to the working ones so I'm really at a loss.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?
I should add, the same thing was happening with the VS I was pointing at 10.0.0.72 so it's not just the machine on 10.0.0.75 that's the problem as far as I can see.
I don't
New Arc User
I've just installed Arc browser and will see how I get on. It will be interesting to see whether it helps organise things and improve my workflows.
I'm always keen to try new things so who knows, maybe it will become my browser of choice.
I'd be interested to hear of things that might be useful to know about Arc, hints and tips to improve my experience.
Edit: Ok so I've had a chance to play around with this browser fora little while and so far it's great. Spaces are great, split views I love (hellooooo CHatGPT and whatever I'm working on in the same tab) and I'm looking forward to trying out Profiles.
I've just got to hope when I install it on my work laptop the IT department don't get wind of it LOL
Hudson is 1 year old today
This is my gorgeous Maine Coon, Hudson. He's 1 year old today and as you can see he's really pleased with his birthday collar.

This is Hudson, one of my Maine Coons. He’s nearly 1 year old and he’s a little bugger but we love him.
