Looks like some time over Christmas someone posted a link to my blog with a `utm_source=hs_email` tag and drove loads of page views.

Just out of curiosity would anyone know more about that content? I'm simply not aware of anyone having linked

LOL. As a German UKIP's new logo looks earily familiar. Like a deja-vu. I'm sure I've seen this sort of symbol before. If only I could remember where 🤔 😂

No better feeling than pushing to production on Friday at 3.30 pm …

I really did not think I posted 1,300 times in 2025, but apparently I did.

Assuming you are running on 4.4 and 4.5: The attached command basically chooses which users wrapstodon will be generated for.

(In this instance confirmed, non-suspended accounts that have logged in since 1st Jan […]

Huh. All my travel advice subscriptions are pinging up today.

It appears the FCDO is quietly updating its travel advice to include the below.

They have also updated their page on dual citizenship to state the same.

Is this now new official policy?

A bit […]

You know you are old when you have a medical procedure and are advised to bring a container for your dentures 😂

Well, Meta, that's one way to almost give me a heart attack for absolutely nothing:

Oh the joys of parenting: Having spent the last 6 months trying to teach the dog that, no, he cannot lick the baby, we now have to start teaching the baby that, no, she cannot lick the dog either 😂

I need some help:

I've got php8.3 on a server installed via ppa:ondrej/php

I need to install a pecl extension (specifically excimer) and that requires the php-dev extension.

But it doesn’t seem to be available to me. Why would that be?

(Yes, I did run `apt update`)

Anyone know anything about this book?

My son’s school apparently has a bitcoin club and they use this book.

Now the fact that this club is not run by a computer science teacher but a geography teacher is already a red flag. The connection to El Salvador seems […]
