Shoutout to everyone who likes to seal a packet of biscuits by simply pushing the open end up against a wall.

Android’s Wifi stack is very weird, especially in prioritization and fallbacks.

You have two networks configured.

Number 1 uses WPA EAP (enterprise networking with username and password)
Number 2 uses WPA PSK (just a password)

Number 1 has priority.

On a location with both networks, the device connects to #1. Location with only network #2, it happily connects to #2. Change any of the cipher details on the network of #1, it automatically connects to #2.

But: remove the user from network #1 (so it can’t authenticate) and it will continue to try to connect to it, constantly. It will never fall back to #2.

This is sucks for M2M devices in enterprise environments. We use the fallback network (#2) to reprovision the username/password for #1 in case of relocation of the device or if the password expires, but we can’t now, because it doesn’t fall back automatically.

Oh well, another change I have to make to my Android ROMs…

Violent Saudi dictator, Bonesaw Mohamed bin Salmon who "invested" 2 billion in Jared Kushner's new "company," also uses Saudi fund to give untold millions to Trump's golf courses.

Trump's shady dealings don't just affect US National Security, but all of the 5 Eyes intelligence alliance (Canada ,Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States).

Are all the top secret documents Trump stole accounted for? Were they photocopied? 5 Eyes have reasons for deep concern.

6am. 28 degrees. I'd better water the garden as soon as there's enough light to see what I'm doing. Meanwhile there's a flock of pterodactyls outside, or maybe it's just a bunch of sleep-deprived irritable cockatoos...

#Marmalade making day today! Have already simmered the fruit and am about to start cutting it up. The house smells wonderful.

The main rule of roast dinners is there should be absolutely no clear space on the plate.

If the head of your religion is on the run from law enforcement, maybe you’re in a cult.

OK, language weirdness question.

Someone recently said:

"I just about caught the train."

Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).

As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.

Thank you!

My new favourite foodstuff… I may have been known to eat this from the jar.

I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.

Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:

🚩 Do you have any queer peers? Is this a safe place for them to work? "We don't talk about that here."

Reposting this excellent Kookaburra from my old Mastodon account as that post has disappeared? And maybe you haven't seen him yet.
Heard him laughing and eventually spotted him sitting on top of the electricity pole.

@MooseAllain My other half has just finished this jigsaw that I bought her for Christmas. She's been off work after an operation, I don't think she moved from the table today from when I left to go to work and came back! It took a few days.
