Status Cafe Forum :: General : 🎵 What are you listening to?
when I’m working, almost anything instrumental or ambient, or sometimes non-english language. I find anything with english lyrics distracting Right now, https://talesundertheoak.bandcamp.com/album/the-toad-king https://forum.status.cafe/topics/22#252
WebP Exif and XMP meta fields

Status Cafe Forum :: Bug Report : There's no workflow to recover account if password lost
Like others, my password manager saved the forum password over the status.cafe password, so although I’ve got one tab logged in, I cannot login anywhere else or change my password. There’s no workflow to recover via email or reset a password for my status.cafe account https://forum.status.cafe/topics/54
Status Cafe Forum :: Questions : Password change?
Same here, and probably every single other person who uses a password manager and goes from status.cafe to forum.status.cafe. There’s no obvious way to change my status.cafe password, and no way to recover my account that I can find https://forum.status.cafe/topics/41#250
Duplicati stopped working 3 days after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 - Support - Duplicati
I’ve been using Ubuntu 22.04 since it came out, so five months or so. Duplicati 2.0.6.3_beta was running fine every day until the most recent kernel update & reboot (Sep 7). I suspect one of the ssl libraries got updated along the way and the 15 month old beta can’t cope https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-stopped-working-3-days-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-22-04/14944/2

★★★☆☆ Order was fine, delivery confusing Order was fine; delivery company confusing. Email stated: “Please find confirmation that your parcel shipped from … via Evri International has arrived in country.” “You may track your parcel using … here” – but “here” is a link to hermesworld “Alternatively, you may track your parcel using the local delivery partners tracking website using tracking number … via hXXp… daiglobaltrack .com/tracking.aspx?custtracknbr=…” the “daiglobaltrack” URL is a link to ‘http… globaleco.

2019/1015/0941 – Review of Chain Reaction
★★☆☆☆ No idea why I’m being asked to review… No idea why I’m being asked to review ChainReactionCycles. According to their email my order was dispatched, but it hasn’t yet arrived. Perhaps don’t be so eager to get reviews before delivering a service
2019/0224/1051 – Review of CouriersPlease
★★☆☆☆ Parcels left in public view, unsigned for Selected “DO NOT LEAVE” on delivery form. Two days later received email telling me delivery date, went to confirmation form and asked “Please deliver Thu/Fri, DO NOT LEAVE IF UNATTENDED”. Courier left parcel on front doorstep in plain view of the street then their office phoned up to say it had been left. Asked why they ignored my instructions and was told, “Oh yeah, they shouldn’t do that”

Found out about iNaturalist yesterday while searching around for info. on flickr about machine tags and metadata. I’ve been interested in wildlife, birds and insects since I was a kid. Joined up and posted some of my old flickr photos that count as “observations,” I’m especially looking forward to identifying some of the unknowns in my photo.s https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/ajft/243-just-joined
There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…
I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.
Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.
Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
