@robsmallshire Ta! While I’d love an LG Ultrafine, I think it may be a little out of the price range. I’d definitely consider one if I were replacing my (lovely) Retina iMac with something that needed an external monitor, but I think I need to go cheaper for the (temporary!?) WFH setup.

@julienbob Heh. I think that might actually be larger than my TV.

Any recommendations for 4K monitors that don’t cost the earth? This will probably be my next “make WFH suck less” upgrade.

Damn it. 31 minutes for the Times cryptic this morning means I *just* missed out on an entire sub-half-hour week.

@Bristolvor @netflix On the Fire TV app if I navigate to the left-hand menu and choose TV Programmes then the top ten list is about seven rows down. It’ll be different per version of the app, though, I imagine.

@Bristolvor @netflix And thank you for reminding me that I was looking for this the other day :) ogres-crypt.com/public/NetFlix…

jil_slander Still not over the fact that when I got my prosthetic legs they were like “do you want to be taller” and I was like “ya” and then they made me 2 inches taller. You wish you were me

@AthanSpod Good point! Gonna put a commented out version in the chef template for my site config so the next time I need it it’s there 🤪

@AthanSpod Hopefully I’ve saved you some pain! I only found out about either option on Tuesday, because all the existing ServerFault answers tell you to do exactly the same thing, of course…

@AthanSpod I also managed to shoot myself royally in the foot by the complete coincidence of one of my two daily chef-client runs restoring the site config file to its nice, clean free-of-rewrite tracing state halfway through my debugging, which was an extra joy to figure out!

via Twitter Web App in reply to AthanSpod

@AthanSpod Except, as I found out the long way round earlier this week, that’s been superseded by e.g. rewrite:trace3 on the LogLevel option, and comes out in the normal log file now. Grr!

@sql_williamd Does “Resolve-DnsName -Name CNAME2” in PowerShell tell you anything enlightening? Personally I’d be quite baffled how the one with the port works if the one without it doesn’t…

@iamtheshunt1 I still have my very 1970s looking Numbercard, even though I’ve also been able to recite the number since then 😀

socialhotcake My amazing Mum made me a home office out of an old case/Trunk. I now have somewhere ‘official’ to work from home and somewhere to store all my work stuff, which looks like a nice bit of home decor 👌🏼

cathrinew What is your favorite “introduction to git” or “git for absolute beginners” resource(s) for someone who has never worked with team development or version control before, and who is very new to coding in general? Thank you 😊

ångström, noun: a unit of perceived distance equal to two metres, at least according to families walking in Leigh Woods. Named for Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström, who was a brilliant scientist but sadly shit at social distancing.
