#ariel view of #london and the #riverthames on 14 May 2022. #TodayonTheThames (yes technically #yesterday

Seems like nothing has been happening on the Satellite TV front regards #russia and #eutelsat .. that's a pity http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/05/how-a-french-satellite-operator-helps-keep-russias-tv-propaganda-online/

This is an amazing proposal for a #tram #purfleet and #grays in #thurrock to #gravesend https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/tram-line-planned-river-thames-23560681

I wonder how long it will take #BBC to get a Russian language service to #russia on #eutelsat and how long it takes for #tricolortv and #ntv to get booted off? https://twitter.com/Smallto56500119/status/1501199892747743234?t=Ha9yHBfcN1g6ftFoL4qhOg&s=19

So #facebook and #twitter are now blocked in #russia what's the situation with #mastodon ? How resilient to blocking is #federation ? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/04/russia-completely-blocks-access-to-facebook-and-twitter

#borisjohnson couldn't publish a complete report from #suegray and asked the #uk today to move on but we are stuck waiting months to find out what really happened and if he's a #criminal .. The #UK wants to move on but first he needs to realise that the #uk is more important than #boris and that if he had any integrity he would realise for the good of the country it's time he should #moveon from the job of #PrimeMinister

Ok. So I'm avoiding doing things that I actually need to do.. so instead it's trying to get #Ipv6 working on my #openwrt router connected to #hyperoptic .. and here's the issue: I don't think I have a clue what I'm doing! ;-)

Anyone in central #london want to do some social #streetcomlete over the holiday break?

So.. the #britishheartfoundation #bhf in their infinite wisdom have decided to try to collect details of #defibrillators to build a national database of their locations in conjunction with publically funded #uk #AmbulanceService .. but do they plan to put the details into something like #openstreetmap ? Oh no. Why ? Because they want to make people dependent on calling #999 first? Really? https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2021/october/leading-charities-and-health-organisations-urge-people-to-register-their-defibrillators

So I'm looking around for a #UPS that could power a fiber connection, WiFi router(s) and three or four #RaspberryPi for maybe 4-8 hours ... Input 230v AC. The idea is to provide surge and blackout protection and keep things happy of the fuses tripped and we were out for the day. Ideas anyone?

I guess #smasung can't help providing reasons to use #opensource products like #kodi https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/05/samsung_tv_ads/

I think #cop26 may have been organised by #ryanair ;-). https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/01/cnns-wolf-blitzer-tracks-glasgows-cop26-to-edinburgh

Hmm ideals for reliable #RaspberryPi 4 power supplies on a budget? I seem to have an endless demand for #USB power. So many devices...
