 OMG it's started snowing here ! 
#Scotland #Aberdeenshire 
 And just like that work is finished for this year.
Merry Christmas to all that celebrate ! 
 nostr:npub1m26pksxajls9yrmtwx0zcvptzcx33t8ht8mfc5sdpcje0tp4nz8q9l2jhh time to make a backup! ;-) 
 @7e344881 I'd say....

 @7e344881 Lesson learned. I was too busy typing and not paying attention. 
 Did I say how much I love the #VoidLinux community ? ❤️ 
 Interesting as linux6.5.5_2 boots just fine on my none FDE test void laptop.
So it seems like it has an issue with my full disk encryption whereas previous kernels don't ???? 
 Hold on I think I've found out what has gone wrong. I'm away to reboot to test my theory and then I'll report what this dozy so and so found. 
 Hmm had my first big issue on #VoidLinux. My laptop wouldn't boot and stopped after unlocking the FDE once it announced it was using linux6.5.5_2. Recovery just ends in a kernel panic so I booted the previous version and all is good.
Submitted a bug report ASAP as reinstalling the kernel still yeilds the same result I never get the loading init.

 @e1eff745 Welcome to the club. 🙃 
 FYI #VoidLinux now has the latest #Qtile stable release 0.23.0 available.
https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=qtile 
 How have I only just found out about this #TUI  beauty !?

With features like:

asynchronous X11/Wayland clipboard synchronization. What that means is that you can copy stuff in the background and your CB clipboard will pick it all up automatically.

 Just my luck ! The front of the house is nicely painted and the sun comes out after a few days of rain. Boom ! Now the house is covered in millions of midges stuck by their feet. Good thing they're biodegradable. :eyeroll: 
 Think I might finally suck it up and move my email server over to fastmail 
 @0c5a9c64 I've had no issues with them so far and domain setup was a breeze. 
 Our timber home freshly painted on the front only so far. But it's progress and getting the exterior ready for the winter. The midges are out in force though. Flipping things landing on the freshly painted wood stain. 🙄

 Right round two of painting the house. Hopefully today I'll have the front completed. #Sunday

 @c210e6a8 it's stopped now but it was all the time earlier. 
 Am I the only person on fosstodon noticing that the search box doesn't work. I keep getting 500 no matter what i search ??? 
 @c210e6a8 There seems to be an issue with search here. 
 And just like that search is working again on Fosstodon.

 @3cd7b79c Well here's the thing I'm finding spiders whilst I'm up the ladder which really isn't good for my health. 🙄 
 Being a bit quiet today as I'm spending it mostly up a ladder against our two storey timber house. Yep you guessed it I'm armed with a paint brush giving the timber it's five yearly treatment. Only this time I'm using a gloss based wood stain.
I'll be needing a glass of red tonight that's for sure. 
 The fact that quite a few #toslink optical cables advertised on Amazon make a feature of their "g... 
 @85903bf3 Reflects the light better 😜 
 Right normal service has resumed thanks to my wife. 🙃

 @eb04af6b I'll have to be busting for a pee though. 
 You're going to laugh, But I'm currently trapped in my study with nothing but my PC and a glass of red as I discovered a MASSIVE spider on the door frame as I entered. I quickly slammed the door. My only problem now is that my wife is out at work for the next 30mins - 1 hour. Yes I'm terrified on any spider. 😢 
I'm such a muppet LOL 
 Crisis averted AKA House fire.
Julie is home and has dispatched of the venomous eight legged beastie with large fangs. I know I'm such a drama queen. She's still laughing now. 
 I've just made the switch from #Artix to #VoidLinux.

I'm really enjoying my experience with #Voi... 
 @b1be60c0 Welcome to the Void 😉 
 nostr:npub1m26pksxajls9yrmtwx0zcvptzcx33t8ht8mfc5sdpcje0tp4nz8q9l2jhh Prince 👌 
 @468e67c5 Absolutely 😉 
 will I drop gmail like I dropped twitter 
 @468e67c5 I did and haven't looked back. 
 Hare is so comfy to write 
 @822a3c32 As a total newbie who can do a bit of python and bash but is wanting to try and learn another language. Would you recommend Hare and why ? 
 Right job done. That's me paid for the use of my #SourceHut account. Kind of gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I'm supporting a fantastic service like this. 
 Right so my first task tomorrow after work is to setup an annual payment plan for the fantastic services provided to me from #SourceHut .
They not only host my git repo but my website too so it's only fair that I pay.
#OpenSource

 @6555e49e Thank you Blain 😉 
 Does anyone here use #sourcehut and pay a yearly fee ? I've recently migrated everything over and I'm wanting to setup a yearly payment but just want reassuring that it does go to towards supporting the service and it's devs. I know sounds a daft question but just wanting to see what other uses views are. Do you use this service and do you pay ? 
 #NewITGuy doesn't know the difference between a server and a switch. We're doomed. 
 @02c5b2bc Wait there's a difference !? 🤪🤣🤣

 @48ef3ec0 It's all sorted now thanks. Turns out it was a Void Linux QT6 issue.

 @a0f0052b @028ddb53 I'm not sure what I'd do with one now tbh but it doesn't half bring back memories of reading the likes of the Tandy and Maplin electronics catalogues.
If I'm going retro it would have to be either Z80 or 6502 based. I once had the likes of a ZX80, spectrums all types a CPC 6128 and a trusty Apple II Europlus with 80 col card. Wish I'd still got them. 🙃 
 @a0f0052b @028ddb53 I remember seeing these in my Dads Tandy catalogue when I was a kid and really wanted  one. 
 Just bought a 3 section 8.5M ladder so I guess I'll be painting the exterior of our house shortly. 🙃 
 I got so excited by this litte fix on #VoidLinux qt6-webengine as gifs and videos in toots are now working when viewing on #mastodon and other sites. 🤣 
 Today has been a good day as Julie wanted to spend a week in November in Whitby and I managed to save us £360 on the same property that was advertised on the usual staycation website. 🙃 
 nostr:npub1m26pksxajls9yrmtwx0zcvptzcx33t8ht8mfc5sdpcje0tp4nz8q9l2jhh I quite agree, buying a 399... 
 Just looked at the price of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X for research purposes obviously and have suddenly come over all faint. Fetch me a chair quickly please. 👀
Not even I could come up with a good enough explanation for purchasing that to my Wife.
I like living too much so a lesser model it'll be then. 😂 
 @eb04af6b @c536b90d We were always attending to vessels at Lochinver for repair work even the French boats, but hardly ever now. It's mainly Mallaig, Ullapool and Kinlochbervie then Scrabster. 
 @eb04af6b Ooh you've blue sky. We woke up to thick fog this morning in Cruden Bay.

 @85903bf3 Thank you but I've gotten it to work a better way.

1. Just put your own home page in the URL on Sourcehut.
2. In your bio section add:

 [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@JustineSmithies)

Obviously change the username.

In the Fosstodon profile just add your git repo url like:

https://git.sr.ht/~justinesmithies/

 @7bef8c57 I usually setup keybinds for say capture the active output or the active window or just a user definable area.
Look in my Qtile Wayland key bind config for examples.
