Reasons to not buy a smart lock..

As it happens you won't "lose access" to your door lock if you set it up without the app.

I can think of other reasons, but just the idea that your door lock is subject to software deprecation is ludicrous.

I'm blown away by WordPress's live preview thing, that runs PHP in your browser using Web Assembly! Immediately enabled it for my plugin.

With some extra setup, this will be excellent for doing live examples of how it works. wordpress.org/plugins/loco-t…

For anyone interested, I had to buy a new domain name to achieve this. SpamAssassin penalises some TLDs for being "suspicious" including .pro (entirely statistical, but very annoying)

It’s comforting to know that I can rebrand my company at any time, just using Find and Replace.

Oh, to be rich enough to dick around with a globally recognized brand for my own personal entertainment.

I see that swathes of new TLDs has only served to make domain parking a more bizarre and corrupt business.

I've been able to restore Twitter sign-in to Loco, but this has confirmed (1) how few people are using it, and (2) the disaster that is Twitter Inc. Decision now is whether to remove it immediately or further down the line.

UHHHHH.... Our Twitter (live/developer) apps suspended for "upgrading" from 1.1 to enable "SSO LOGIN" from just web to native applications. @twittersupport @elonmusk is it your intent that we need to pay you to have people be able to log in using twitter?

Last straw for my use of @TwitterDev for SSO. Will fix for my customers' immediate benefit - then deprecate and remove.

Replying to @XDevelopers
@TwitterDev and @elonmusk simply disables your API access and forces you to go into their dashboard and setup again for their "Free" tier or upgrade. During this time, the API completely broke, without warning.

Bought a 4K (Dell) monitor for my Mac, but it seems the UI doesn't scale up at UHD resolution like the retina display does. Am I missing something?

What are CentOS #Linux users moving to? I've got a about a year to migrate my systems off CentOS 7, but looks to me like Rocky/Alma won't be a seamless change anyway, so may as well move to some other Linux.

I chose CentOS over 10 years ago, because my first experience of Linux hosting was on RedHat. All my orchestration (Ansible) will need rewriting anyway, so tempting just go over to Ubuntu.

Replace broken bin: £200 Replace broken lid: £45 Replace broken spring: £6 for 10 Brands should be able to post you small parts like this to reduce waste. It would cost them pennies. This is why we create so much waste.

To be clear, I had to find the springs on Amazon. A company charging 200 quid for a bin aren't going to sell you a spring
