Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
One underrated thing that keeps the village going is the police. Or, in our case, the mods.
I know, I know! Everyone hates the mods - with their over-inflated egos and unaccountable practices and their capricious banning of innocuous subjects.

Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.
Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.
There’s an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn’t always as precise as needed. I’m still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.
If you’re out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)
I ate too much pizza yesterday and stayed up until 2am gaming.
I am going to spend today designing watch faces for my new eInk watch. This will be a challenge as I’m a terrible artist and an even worse C++ programmer.
Luckily ChatGPT is slightly better than me 😀
You don’t need a petition. You can just submit a proposal to Unicode.
I did it for https://unicodepowersymbol.com/
Seriously, these petition sites are just data harvesters.
Spent the weekend watching my wife grind through all the TOTK side quests.
Meanwhile I plowed through two ebooks.
Win for both of us!
Sat in the garden having a burger for lunch. Still employed, so no al fresco beer - but I’ll cope.
