I am in the showers at the marina (yes, TERFs, the women’s showers. Go fuck yourselves). They have the radio on. They are talking to a “psychotherapist” who explains how, because of the iron in your blood, you can get rid of “negative energy” by touching a radiator to “ground yourself” for 20 minutes a day.

Dear Vodafone. That you managed to make registration for your site not work with the built in password manager for iPhones, one of the most popular mobile phones, is deeply unfortunate. It’s also an impressive achievement, because iCloud Keychain works nearly everywhere. You actually have to go out of your way to bugger it up.
But you, a mobile phone company, have managed to make your mobile site not work with this most common of mobile phones. I am impressed with the amount of effort it must have taken to be this incompetent.

You can tell your covid requirements are pseudoscience tickybox woo when they emphasise “hand gel”, which is completely fucking useless against covid, over “face masks”, which are not.
And also when your activity is outdoors in the countryside.

@Adam With the caveat that a lot of the orthodoxy around those viruses also originates from the same utterly wrong assumptions that made the WHO state that covid couldn’t possibly be airborne until they evidence that it was became overwhelming.
I’m not saying personal hygiene with regard to hand cleanliness isn’t important: it is. It’s much more an issue for gastrointestinal stuff though, and is unhelpful to focus on with diseases (including the ones you mention), that the vast majority of people catch through inhalation.

Apparently I have a controversial belief about the modern software industry. I don’t think it should be controversial.
The belief is this: writing new code in C in 2023 is like installing plumbing in a new house using lead pipes.

Seeing someone on Reddit saying that they never used the maths (specifically, “pi”) they learned at school, and that it was pointless learning it.
I have used trigonometry and calculus in my everyday life to make short work of problems, mostly relating to DIY. If you reach middle age without m any this stuff, then I can almost guarantee that you have done several things the hard way when you didn’t need to.

I’ve used very little of the math they tried to teach me and forgotten an awful lot of it:(
But my opinion wasn’t that it was a pointless thing to be taught, but that school did one hell of a bad job at doing it:( At one point I was good at maths (at least compared to my peers) and slowly they sucked every bit of fun and wonder out of it:(

Also I said day one that Google having a browser was to further their own goals of stealing information and forcing ads everywhere.

!Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. So I got a warning that nginx proxy manager hadn't been renewing my certificates for a while tonight.
Tried to renew them manually.
It broke, everywhere, badly. Ended up reinstalling from scratch, even on a different machine, but it Would Not Work. Kept throwing internal NPM errors.
Is it currently broken? I've resorted to a manual nginx config for now. but it's not ideal. Anyone else seeing flakiness from nginx proxy manager?

Try turning off "force SSL" "HTTP/2" and "HSTS" then try to renew. If that works it's a known bug and there's a fix in this thread:

Those UK Election manifestos in full:
Tories: We are going to take the light fittings and run to a tax haven. We will blame this on the trans.
Labour: We’re going to let other people take the light fittings and run to tax havens. It’s still the trans’ fault.
Lib Dems: 48 hour moritorium on stealing light fittings.
SNP: We want independence from HMRC, in case the light fittings are taxable.
