I have begun the installation of a new on premises Exchange Server on the afternoon of Friday 13th ...

What could possibly go wrong?

Behold the billionth repository created on GitHub. It’s absolutely perfect.

#auspost: This package requires a signature. If no one is home we'll take it to a local Post Office for you to collect.

Actual AusPost: lol no we ain't doing that! What we will do is dump this at your front door without even bothering to ring your doorbell or knock to see if anyone's home.

Wow time flies can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since we adopted Trouble (yes, that’s her name).

Of course from Trouble’s perspective it was more a case of changing her staff over but let’s not argue about who’s actually in charge 😀

@camwilson if you have conservative parents changing the spelling in your name as a teenager could piss them off immensely.

But if she had changed her name completely then that might be worthy of calling it “punk". Just adding an “s" is a pretty tame act of rebellion

Hmm it looks like the MyID App on iPhone it utterly borked at the moment.

Launch it, it does a FaceID verification, then instant crashes.

App Store reviews seem to suggest it’s been broken since the last release which was ... *checks notes* ... one month ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's a pretty pathetic timeframe to release a fix for an app that is completely broken..

Of course I’m assuming they have flu or covid. If they are repeatedly coughing as part of the process of turning into zombies I’m in trouble 😀

A disturbing number of people on this train are coughing disturbingly often.

I’m now quite happy I got flu and covid shots a month ago!

People saying "we should debate nazis in the marketplace of ideas rather than punching them" seem to forget that collectively, humanity determined in the marketplace of ideas that the only way you can debate nazis is to punch them.

@bastardsheep I find it curious that HazardWatch only covers NSW but uses a gov.au domain and not a nsw.gov.au domain.

No doubt there is a massive can of worms story behind this!

And now Colapinto has crashed! Not as bad as Tsunoda but I bet many questions will now be asked…

@gsymon strangely once I got TM to try and backup again it did send a notification that it had failed, but a second attempt worked.

I can only assume I missed the first notification of an error 🤷🏻‍♂️

However it's annoying that it just "gave up" and didn't keep retrying by itself. Even if it failed again and again at least I might have noticed subsequent notifications
