I won't be booking any tickets for Rebellion Festival as they seem to have a problem with their website implementation. They have one of those lovely cookie notices but zero way to get to website without accepting all the cookies, even the slimy, moldy, gropy ones.
The link just goes to the ICO = Information Commissioners Office page (another website).

After nearly 10 hours of sleep & dozing I expected to be feeling like I had some energy to do something but apparently that's not how today is going.
Made the mistake of trying to fix pCloud on my Linux. After about an hour of random bouts of thinking, uninstalling, downloading, searching menus, more uninstalling & downloading, etc. I think I've fixed it. Won't know until tomorrow when I start my computer again (I switch it of when I switch off for the day).
So, no productive morning. Will try & get myself to bed early again as I'm clearly in need of some extra sleep.
It's already time to think about prepping lunch so should probably do that so I can have an afternoon available for doing things.

First Linux > Surface hurdle is the old Grub menu as it assumes keyboard availability 🤦.
The one socket to connect has the Bootable USB. Thanks Grub 2.12.Anyone know a trick to get an option that works with just the Volume switch? :bb: 🙂 :bb:
I'm having a scan online but in my search for Linuxing a surface never saw any warnings about this little blocker.EDIT: Found work-around, make Bootable memo card, frees up the USB socket for keyboard 🎉.
Result: Linux Mint now installing & we will see how it goes 😃. -
Okay,this is where it gets risky, I'm about to unleash the power of Linux onto my old, old Surface Pro.
Checklist:
- Surface (with Secure Boot disabled) ✅
- Bootable Linux USB ✅
- Power cable ✅
- Snacks ✅
- Sanity … 🤷 -
Now the penny drops about why pen-drives are called pen-drives.
It's because they're the new pens.
You start with a few then somehow they vanish ,never to be seen again 🫤. I've lost track of how many times I've had to create a new bootable for installing or reinstalling Linux.🤣So much for a quick install before grabbing tea.
EDIT: Saved time & hassle by the ISO file hiding on my PC 🥳 but I've wasted time messing with other things & playing with my portable online Mastodon 😅, so food first or I might bite someone.

I've noticed a trend for app devs wanting problems reported on GitHub which is fine if you have an account, have a clue how to navigate the site & intend on being a frequent / regular user of the site.
@ App Devs: What are people who don't have or want a GitHub account supposed to do?
@ App Devs: Well, it's one way to get people to ditch your app when they develop a problem / problems.

DuckDuckGo is DuckDuckGone.
👋🖕Bye Felicia.
See, this is what happens when you keep setting the AI & Search Assistant to ON whenever I open up my browser on a new day.
Let's see if Mojeek is any good as a search engine. I'm open to suggestions as it's always good to have options to explore.Now, just need a new browser app for my phone. Any suggestions? Preferably without AI or at least something that honours user settings.

Good day turned to shit. Ordered food online 😎
Order arrives, delivery guy goes.
Sits down, open bag = wrong order 😡
Sits at.computer to scroll site for phone number. Nothing responding.
Force PC off & on again = main monitor dead.😠 Unplug main monitor & use second. Empty tool bar, okay I'll populate it with what I need to access the browser. 😡
PC: Nope, you can do all you like but the panel is staying empty. 🤬🤬Second restart after dead monitor disconect so it hopefully fully forgets the now gone monitor …
NOPE! Same shit.with the panel so useless piece of junk.😠😡🤬🤬🤬Phone & order confirmed email to the rescue!
Guess my kitchen laptop will be migrating to the front room for main duty.
Tech can be a heck of a stroppy bitch.

Netflix broken on Librewolf, Brave & Waterfox = forced back to Firefox.
Upside: At least it's not Chrome.
Spotify rendered unusable on Librewolf & Waterfox (didn't try Brave).
Still usable & navigable on Firefox.EDIT: Tagged Linux because Linux is the awesome OS I use, it is NOT the problem.

Is your birthday party themed?
Yes.
What is it?
Solitary Introvert with a hefty clout of, "Sorry, we are unable to complete that action at the moment. Please try again later."
Oh. * looks at feet *
By, try again later, they* mean, bugger off!
(EDIT: By They*, I mean / meant Netflix)
#EpicTechFails #Enshittification
Okay, moving on from the tech bullshit. I need to think about what's for lunch 🤔 & which DVD or Blu-ray pairs well with what I decide to consume, crunch, nom, munch, eat, breath, suck up like spaghetti, chomp… wait, something doesn't belong in there.

Spotify website has gone full enshitify.
Everthing arranged like Netflix but with zero side-scroll ability 🤦.No menu other than settings which just has Account, Profile & Log Out
& the usual corporate shit for Premium, Support, etc.Today is shaping up to be a shitshow online. First Netflix & now no music to cheer me along.

Right, cancel my Birthday, Netflix is being a whiney Bitch & has cancelled my preferred fun for the day.
I'm toasting my scotch pancakes for a second time as they've gone cold thanks to time faffing on Librewolf & Brave.* football style chanting*
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
Netflix is a twat!
Oh Netflix is a twat!
...EDIT: Cheering myself up with some Friesian Horses (Channel) on YouTube.

EDIT: Thanks to those who boosted💜. I've managed to track one down & actually arrange for them to come round to fix things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Plumbers, the cure to a problem but also the bane of your your existence. 😩
Original plumber = radio silence
Phoned 3. First two voice mails. Third, finally a human but not clue when or if plumber is coming.
Getting bored of waiting.

I seem to have identified a bug in my systems.
No matter how much time (in hours not minutes) I give myself to wrap my head around prepping & even starting to prep for eventually going to be at or if possible before midnight, I somehow still end up not getting to bed till 02:00 give or take half an hour.I can feel completely zonked all day or all evening due to short nights of sleep if I have to get up early. It makes no sense. I think I need to start using a metaphorical hammer & somehow persuade myself that the world won't end if I do that thing tomorrow or those things the day after.
It does seem to be because there's that one thing, out of many that's been hanging over me for days, weeks, months or longer & today was going to be the day. So it may be late but this maybe the only time I have a set of spoons the right shape or strong enough to deal with this task. It's now or never.
It can be a small complex task, revamping bullet journal templates in my more app, sorting out all the stages for a future batch cook or a long laborious one involving things I'm not keen on like clearing up cobwebs & bugs 😱 or unidentified spills, dirt & giant dust bunnies 🤢.
I've tried reminders, alarms. I've planned days where everything has all the time I need & more but inevitably this either leads to stagnation because I'm so out of spoons not helped by the side effects of lack of sleep. Alternatively, the ADHD trait of getting sidetracked comes along & nixes my timings & tasks.
I've tried getting up earlier which, unless I have an early enough appointment or planned activity with or for other people generally fail to launch on time or if I survived the important thing in the early hours, I'm then a zombie & spend more time just sitting, gathering dice / spoons by not doing anything.I keep telling myself I'll figure it out & find a way but I'm not sure I'm wired to ever find a fix for getting myself to bed before midnight.
