[14:06] <daftykins> heh finally rode up north and resolved a clients NAS that has been blasting me with email notifications every 30 mins complaining of an IP conflict
[14:07] <daftykins> but would you believe it, the one shop i know of only had the tiny packets of Riesens and no more bags :(
[14:11] <penguin42> you'd think keeping up the stock of Riesens on the island would be a good way of getting business to your dentists
[14:12] <daftykins> :D i was shocked to learn that the practice owner knows the name given he's German, but hadn't ever tried one
[14:13] <daftykins> i am hoping when he drives back to Germany in Sept. i can convince him to pick some up for me xD they do huge 800g bags in Europe it seems
[14:21] <penguin42> you might be able to find them from wholesalers
[14:23] <daftykins> nah tried the only local one i know of :(
[14:25] <penguin42> if you're ever on the mainland try a Lidl or Aldi
[14:25] <daftykins> 'tis a plague wasteland! ;)
[14:25] <daftykins> England i mean, rather than those chains
[14:27] <penguin42> damn, being worse than Lidl is quite a put down...
[14:28] <daftykins> haha
[14:29] <daftykins> office i'm sat at has the most crazy loud CCTV system by Dahua
[14:29] <daftykins> well, more of an IP camera NVR
[14:34] <penguin42> grinding disks and fans?
[14:36] <daftykins> just a bad fan, tiny size in a slim box sat in the floor of the network cabinet
[14:36] <penguin42> nod
[14:36] <daftykins> amusingly i can reach in from the cable hole at the bottom and flip the power switch :)
[14:37] <penguin42> security
[14:38] <daftykins> they no longer lock it however as it must have proven too much for the bi-monthly backups for someone to have to use a key, unlock, then plug in the drive
[14:38]  * daftykins groans
[14:39] <daftykins> ok time to head back into town
[15:16] <daftykins> well uh, something unfortunate happened on the ride home - https://i.imgur.com/1XNAcdr.jpg
[15:17] <daftykins> Fleetwood Mac would have something to say about this
[15:40] <daftykins> a streamer called Miekii is cycling 1,000 laps of columbus circle in NYC for a challenge some guy set him - www.twitch.tv/miekii + https://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/columbuscircle/?cam=columbus_circle
[16:24] <davef> daftykins: that bicycle pic is off the chain
[16:25] <daftykins> :D
[16:26] <daftykins> i was feeling slips the whole way down the coast, dropped off a drink bottle at a recycling point - hopped back on, then it bunched up a couple of times and just rolled off xD
[16:28] <davef> chain snapped?
[16:28] <daftykins> yep a link waved goodbye
[16:37] <daftykins> this is kinda more of a backup/pub bike that i never ride to pubs :D
[16:37] <zxmpi> would have put you down as a messenger/cargo bike sort to do your errands deliveries :-)
[16:38] <daftykins> haha
[16:57] <penguin42> someone in Amsterdam I follow on mastodon carries insane things on a bike
[17:01] <zxmpi> i suspect 90% of cargo in amsterdam goes by bike at some stage
[17:07] <penguin42> isnt it just cargo that clearly can't be carried on bikes that is carried on bikes?
[17:12] <daftykins> so they like a challenge? :D
[17:23] <daftykins> is there some kind of sportball on today? i'm hearing some shrieks from a neighbours
[17:23] <penguin42> not that I've heard of, must be your imagination
[17:25] <daftykins> huh women's euro 2022
[17:25] <daftykins> nothing important then (:
[17:25] <daftykins> not from being the women's event, but from being football at all
[20:14] <davef> https://ca.startrek.com/news/remembering-nichelle-nichols-1932-2022
[20:14] <davef> Nichelle Nichols has passed away.
[20:14] <zxmpi> just saw :-(
[20:15] <daftykins> ooh my
[21:23] <daftykins> wasn't so long ago that i was surprised she was still around
[23:06] <daftykins> well, time to head to bed - g'night gang \o
