I have decided that I am going to shut down https://social.running.cafe in 3 months (15th September), or whenever the last active user has migrated off.
It’s been fun being an instance admin, but it never really got the traction I would have liked (3-4 active users) and having recently taking a […]

I'm trying out #snac on a very underpowered Raspberry Pi and importing all the people I follow. Please do not be alarmed if you get a random follow request from a new account. 😄

I was not a regular reader but I felt duty bound to find a final issue of Linux Format. I’m really enjoying all the nostalgia they’ve packed in.

Ffs! My vernier caliper, which I think originated from Lidl about 10-12 years ago, just decided to die right in the middle of measuring my valve shims. 🤬
On the upside I now know how to remove shims from an engine.
Time to go tool shopping…

Ok how cool is this?
I have one IPv4 address and want to terminate TLS/HTTPS on different machines depending on the hostname.
It turns out Nginx can detect the hostname and route the traffic without having the cert/terminating the traffic. Magic! […]

I’ve finally got around to measuring the valve clearances on the crap #fiat.
I think I’m measuring them correctly, in which case they are all quite loose. Should be .4 exhaust, .3 intake.
Can someone who has a clue tell me if this is vaguely normal…I […]

I just love that there are people who join Peloton classes and don’t pedal just to show off their MAGA hashtag.
What exactly do they think they are achieving? I guess forcing people like me to think about the state of the world when I’m trying to exercise…

They say a lot about the previous owner, who I dislike a little more every day I work on this car.
