  Just finished watching some of the new Grand Tour. These lads did a pretty decent hash of it for a first season with monumental expectations. Francis is my fav though tbh. I met them at the drivetribe event in England in 2025. I wonder if they were filming the opening sequence then as they said “we’re off to Wales tomorrow to shoot something big”.

  It’s no use, I’ve tried pretty much everything to avoid admitting it. But things were, in fact, better in the old days.

  macOS 27 found yet another Vista-esque pointless permission thing to add in the way of a basic copy/paste workflow. I now need to manually approve in security that it’s ok to copy and paste between apps? This really is too much. #apple

  It took 14 months but I’m delighted to report our house is, at last, under contract, and we are finally to be returning to the UK in December! If you need UPSs, an OLED TV, a Raptor Truck or a couch hit me up!!

  I worked out last night I’ve only been back to England 4 times in 8 years. It’s going to be such a shock going back full time.

  The new Siri is just as absolutely terrible as the old one. With the slight exception being that this time, I let myself hope it wouldn’t be complete crap. But it is, don’t waste your time.

  Well then… After three years at Tailscale, today I’m starting a new chapter at Unraid as Head of Product Marketing. I’m proud of what we built at #tailscale and enormously grateful to the people I worked with, and to everyone who watched the videos. 1600 subs to 78k, 10m views, and over 150 videos. Not too shabby. Now I get to spend more time furthering the self-hosting mission I care so much about. I’ll be doing product work, community, technical education and, yes, plenty of video. There’s...

  Surely someone at Apple must appreciate that this is a shit user experience? And most people are just going to click yes regardless? It's not adding extra security when done en-masse like this after a .x OS update. SO frustrating.

  3d printing will always be an incredible gift. Printed the awesome labrax model to tidy up my lounge media closet.

  Migration complete https://blog.ktz.me/ghost-to-astro/ #selfhosted

• View post

  If I've done this right, my blog is now migrated to a fully static backend using Astro. I didn't do a radical redesign of the theme for the migration MVP, but I did add a better search, an archive and some other small things likely only I'll notice. But completing this project is a big day, really. This marks the end of my blog being CMS based since before it morphed into what is now LinuxServer.io (before splitting off again a while later). LSIO was just my blog in the earliest day...

  I’m seriously considering shrinking my ZFS pool to protect myself from current hardware pricing. My primary pool is split into 2 z2 vdevs each presently. 7x 20tb disks + 3x 18tb. The pool is about 62% full. I could easily delete a ton of media and get it under 40%. And with USED 18tbs on average going for $275 a pop these days, I think that’s just smart. My doing this I can keep 2-3-4? Drives as spares. Maybe I won’t need them. But I think I’ll worry a bit less about them if I know I can h...

  Set up a Hermes instance last night with a few different local models hooked up from my Mac. I’ve hooked that up to home assistant via an mcp server, and have already automated more little QOL things in the last few hrs than I have in the last few months. Absolutely end game being able to use natural language to debug automations via telegram without having to tether to a computer. This is huge! #homeassistant

  Thank the stars for Linux. Seriously, I mean, it is such a gift to have it. The fact that I can download all software I need from the internet, for free, legally, to make my computer work - and it’s arguably as good or better for the most part on the desktop than any commercial option - is nothing short of a miracle in this age of surveillance and enshittification. To all of you who see this that contribute to this modern marvel, I thank you. 🙏

  I just found two sticks of 32gb DDR5 RAM in a box from when we packed to leave last year. Back then it was worth $100. Now? I can retire.

  Liftmaster hates this one simple trick! Security+ 3.0? HACKED! (OK not really). I had a spare remote and have wired it up to two relays powered by #esphome so I can open my garage doors in #homeassistant without the stupid myq cloud crap My house. My hardware. My way! As it should be. Also, yay. Go Artemis II !

  @bazurk do you actually want automatic updates though? Waking up to an update alert is preferable to waking up to an app with a botched db migration that wiped all your data because you weren’t there to do it.
