Tell me you live in Melbourne without telling me you live in Melbourne.
1) The barista starts making my coffee before I place the order.
2) They use my preferred blend, which is not the default for my coffee

Replaced my macBook with a #Linux laptop (Windows never got a chance to boot). Using #Kubuntu & I like #KDE (probably 10y since my last try).
I'm happy, but it's not seamless. Not sure how civilians are expected to manage the Linux corner cases.
E.g: my inbuilt webcam and fingerprint sensor do not work. WPA are good, but still not as good as native apps. KDE did some funky shit that needed an obscure web search and config file change to fix,... -- too hard?

Writing a book using #asciidoctor ?
This is how you switch off running headers on chapter title pages (only took me three weeks to work out!). NB Calling super 1st is important.
class PDFConverterCustomPartTitle < (Asciidoctor::Converter.for 'pdf')
register_for 'pdf'def start_new_chapter chapter
super
page.imported

I've updated my desktop container setup instructions for #RancherDesktop (as well as #DockerDesktop)
You may find it useful. It's CC licenced so feel to reuse

(I will be updating the related workshop as well over the next few weeks and hope to live stream -- if you don't know anything about using containers it's for you)

I'll also be updating the tutorial workbook over the next few weeks.

@RealAndyShark I started using #RancherDesktop last week. I'm sold so far. With the Moby engine things seem to work without changes (but need to either export/import images and volumes). #rancher

Running #uvicorn inside a container?
Make sure you add param `--host 0.0.0.0`.
Obvious in retrospect. (like most things)

#HotTip if you are using #pipedream to create #notion database rows (aka pages).
Use the `
create_page_from_database
`, **NOT** `create_page`.Sort'a obvious if you know the Notion API, otherwise very confusing.

Just started listening to this book. Not my normal fare, but after reading an excerpt in The Guardian I splashed the cash.
The Light We Carry, Michelle Obama
Only got through the intro and some of ch1, but so far it's very good. Would recommend

I am trying to close my #QantasAirways account after recent data breach. They don't make it easy.
Plus the account security is very poor.The use SMS 2FA in some places and Auth App TOTP in others (if you enable it).
I struggled to set a new 4 digit PIN as the UX is so piss poor
And I can only use 4 digit PIN. No facility for a secure password/passphrase or a passkey.

Just had to complete my 1st age verification test under the new AU laws. Biometric based.
Now let's wait for even more of my PII to leak.
Not happy. I would have preferred to use myGov app and Trust Exchange (except it's not working yet) instead of handing more PII to another foreign commercial org.
(Yes, I know I can't trust Gov either, but lesser of two evils?)

Well according to https://githubunwrapped.com/ my top language is C++.
I have not written any C++ in over 25 years!
I assume it's AI based and so wrong most of the time?

Funny, geeky, and quite technical. So jelly
