You want someone at what level? To work for How long? For how much? For what permanence? How about NO?

Online meetings where two people just take turns talking at each other and no-one else even gets time to think before they've switched topics are the sort of fun everyone should have in their lives. By fun, I mean nonsense. And by everyone, I mean no-one.

May I recommend a DFRobot dual gigabit Ethernet carrier board, a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (with WiFi if you need that) and a copy of OpenWRT. It is hands down the best Internet gateway device I've ever used.

This is apparently the world’s oldest surviving woven garment. It’s linen, more than 5,000 years old, found in a tomb at Tarkhan, south of Cairo in 1913 ~ but its extreme age was not realised till recent radiocarbon testing. Note the pleating!

Ask not: "How are you going to pay for these proposals?" Ask instead: "Where is the growth you think will happen going to come from?" I'll wait patiently for anyone to confidently and credibly answer that one.

My elderly father has swallowed the GBeebies/Telegraph BS and thinks they're a ridiculous idea, despite me owning one, having zero problems (and a heap of fun) and proving every imagined fear about them wrong.

Easiest cable pull ever this morning but so many crummy devices on my network (looking at you, Roku) that can't cope with my new WiFi AP, so I'm going to have to run a second network for all the legacy stuff. 😑

This happened to me too except it was my boss and everyone really liked him and because he died in lockdown (not COVID related) we had nothing else but video calls and it actually really sucked.

Why do so many people make the simplest of things so complex and yet deliberately avoid attempting to understand the genuinely complex things?

Unpopular 2024 opinion: If I purchase something from your online shop, I should not get 5 emails in the next two days. You should not automatically sign me up for your mailing lists. You should not guilt trip me for unsubscribing. I made a purchase; I did not commit to a relationship.

Best and longest-lasting washing machine I ever owned was an LG. I regret being talked by the repairman into buying a new machine from an old school maker, which didn't last much beyond the warranty. My fridge is a (non-smart) Samsung and is now very old but still running perfectly fine.
