After his cheeky McD’s, I think we all know what Palpatine did next.

#neverforget

I’ve just rediscovered my friend @alistairking.bsky.social on BlueSky, and it’s made me unexpectedly happy.

Do give him a follow. I feel like his head’s screwed on the right way.

lure unsuspecting doves into a life of petty crime.

Well, I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t.

What’s the point.

On days like this I want to give up. I won’t, though. Not by choice, but because I can’t. I don’t even have control over that.

When I’m having a bad mental health moment, forgetting to take my pills, I get no support because I simply don’t know how to ask for help.

So I end up beating myself up over it, and how, somehow, I should be able to deal with it.

How does anyone prioritise their own mental health over others?

Knives Out. Brilliant film. Glass Onion. Practically perfect film-making and storytelling.

Thank you, @rianjohnson.bsky.social.

This is not helpful. It makes her the kind of person I would suggest my kids don’t talk to, which is such a shame.

Be unfailingly kind.

I don’t really trust anyone who thinks the cross should be removed from Switzerland’s banner. It’s a red flag.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Oh… and microelectronics. Finally got my kid’s bunk wired up with LED strips controlled by an ESP32 S2 Mini, voice controlled locally by Home Assistant.

It feels cute. May expostulate later.

Not that anyone would have noticed that I’d gone… but I’m back.

With some thoughts / opinions.

Mostly esoterica.

It definitely feels like a Thursday. I’m so far behind any meaningful sleep however, it feels like *last* Thursday.

So, it turns out that taking double my dose of ADHD meds is antithetical with sleep before 3am.

Very much getting into the whole homelab thing.

I’ve got 4 Raspberry Pis swarmed up and running a blog, vault warden, book stack and Prometheus. A couple of NUCs (older 5th-gen i5) with proxmox running Plex and Home Assistant. HA running frigate, influxdb and grafana.

All under 35°c and snappy.

Me: I’ve come to the conclusion that going to sleep at 3am and then waking at 7am isn’t enough sleep and is bad for mental and physical health.

Also me, at 2:30am: Can humans eat wood? Do my cats actually like me, or is it simply conditioning? How did we discover cooking?

Running a technical incident whilst simultaneously giving the kids a bath. Achievement unlocked.
