Today’s task: cut the base off our old Siberian elm log in preparation for milling. 8’ x 32” ready to go. This tree had to come down after our last ice storm. We’ve replaced it with a couple of apple trees.

Old Siberian elm log (a weed tree), with ends cut off, leaving 8’ long with a 32” cross section. Some cedar growing beside, a neighbours stone house behind. Old Siberian elm log seen from the end and looking along the length of the log. Cedar trees at the far end and some old fence in front of the cedar.

Had my first Honey Crisp ground apple today. A meal in and of itself. Current owner lets us pick a few bags each year given we owned the farm before. We know how fortunate we are. 🥹

Installed my first HVAC system from Senville over the weekend. The instructions were less than no help. Nothing in the book actually matched what I had. YouTube had some videos, but none for the specific model I had. Bottom line, it was WAY WAY easier than my brain made it out to be, common […]

Considering Linux as my first non macOS laptop. My ecosystem has been Apple since the MacIntosh 128K. This is a big change to consider, so a baby step is in order. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 1st or 2nd gen seem like interesting starting points and I can find them easily on eBay for between […]

Digital Ocean killed its "we give Open Source projects a bit of free hosting" policy basically at the same time they dropped 3 million USD on Omarchy, DHH's (who is a fascist and racist) set of config files he calls a distribution […]

Oh my gosh, I had no idea I had so little time left to upgrade Jenkins!

Anyone here with experience on Babbel and or Busuu? Learning Dutch. Tried DuoLingo and wasn’t happy due to mostly a lack of speech and grammar, and silly phrases.

Now armed with a roll of 1000 “Made in USA” stickers. Yes I bought them on Amazon and yes they are American made. The irony of telling people to not buy USA products with USA made stickers works both ways. Going to hand these out to a few friends who have offered to help get the word out. @tod […]

Saw a bogus claim about the leaked proposal for EU kids privacy will make it illegal to have private servers. This is simply not true. My read is it means owners of micro services or private servers offering some public service will need to do the same age verification as the big tech players […]

I suspect GrapheneOS will see a little bump in user count and Bill22 will see more protests.

Walking in the local palliative care fund raiser this weekend. The kit bag came with a 20% off purebites dog and cat treats, a self proclaimed 100% Canadian company. Except, most of their ingredients are from the USA and lots of their products are manufactured in the USA. So, purebites will not […]

Learning a it more, it was straight forward to swap out MySQL for mariadb and upgrade the config, now importing at what I would call a normal speed. Lerd also has a decent MCP which made trouble shooting a snap and very fast.

@outofcontrol.phpc.social.ap.brid.gySep 17, 2026, 8:06 PM

Lerd certainly isn’t happy about loading a 900MB sql file. cli appears to have hung itself (hanged?) and the dashboard for MySQL is dead as can be. Never had any issues loading into the system mariadb

@emd Thanks for the extra info. I never tried Herd, so this is quite new to me.

@outofcontrol.phpc.social.ap.brid.gySep 16, 2026, 4:51 PM

@emd Anything in particular, or just fits your brain space better?

@outofcontrol.phpc.social.ap.brid.gySep 16, 2026, 3:20 PM

For PHP dev work I have switched to Lerd (from Valet) on my demo laptop (along with macOS 27). I’d love to hear others thoughts if they are or were Valet users and have switched or tried Lerd. My initial thoughts are: Interesting, seems mostly seamless, fairly lightweight, love the dashboard […]

Asking mastodon: is it really not possible to unlock a locked MIFARE Ultralight NFC tag? Seems to me there should be some way to do it. Or is it actually physically altering the chip?
