A lot of interesting presentations at #nhshackday today. Some I can see making a viable difference quite quickly if they can be piloted.

Just doing some tuning of my #dotemacs before tomorrow #nhshackday event. I'll probably only be observing but might as well have my tools handy ;-)

Plate spinning 3 bugs today and context switching on re-compiles on slow systems.

Post to a #kernel mailing list and get replies asking for sexytime video chats. Does that mean kernel hackers are sexy now? #spam

So you want to hack on #qemu? Have you looked at the developer documentation? Now with nicer rendering: https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/stable/devel/index.html #docs

Just seen my first electric vehicle in #abergavenny. While #tesla is a fairly common site in #cambridge my new home town in considerably smaller.

oh nice, works with netflix as well ;-)

The new #firefox picture-in-picture mode is nice for watching #youtube videos.

Nice summary thread of the 1992 election defeat. In my living memory as well!

By Popular Demand: A thread on the Labour Party's response to the 1992 General Election – The last time it lost four times in a row

The prominent question dominating Labour thinking was ‘If not now, when? If we cannot win in a recession, when can we?’.

#manchester I am in you.

The question isn’t whether Solemaini was a bad guy. The questions are:

1. What are the likely consequences of his assassination?

2. Do you trust the Trump administration to have planned for those consequences and to manage what comes next?

Things very rarely switch on the changing of the year. They progress every hour, day and week and you hope mostly in sane direction. The incrementing of the year field is just a reminder to see if we can do better. Welcome 2020, hopefully we'll get it mostly right.

An excellent 90/9/1 ten year prediction write up from Charlie #Stross covering #ai and it's potential risks: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2019/12/artificial-intelligence-threat.html

It's impressive what she has achieved so far.

What a year... I won’t even try to summarise it - but nothing would have been possible without your support. So thank you!
This coming decade humanity will decide it’s future. Let’s make it the best one we can.
We have to do the impossible.
So let’s get started.
Happy new year!

This is flat out terrifying. My thoughts are with those trying to survive the fires down under.

The crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 509 Wyoming recorded this video showing the moment their truck was overrun by the bushfire burning South of Nowra. The crew was forced to shelter in their truck as the fire front passed through. #NSWFires #ProtectTheIrreplaceable

Strapping in for the last of the last trilogy of the trilogy.

It took a little cleaning up (re-downgrading) of the #crostini packages on my #buster image but I've finally got #steam running on my #pixelbook. Now time to test the #virtio-gpu support.

And so the morning ritual begins of feeding the #ps4 various disks so the patches can be downloaded by the time the kids have gone to bed. #outerworlds
