Actually, my previous toot also applies to your local farmers. Since lockdown first started way back in March, I've bought more produce from local farms than ever before and will continue to do so once we're out of the mess of 2020. If nothing else, we should have each other's backs from a locality point of view. Support your local #farm, support your local #brewery

Just had a phone call from one of the many local #norfolk breweries. He told me "I'm visiting your town tonight and was wondering if I could drop off your order on the way past?"
I love my local #beer scene, and whilst the pubs are closed I cannot recommend supporting your local #brewery highly enough. They need you more than ever this year...

@Domina_tenebris What's this? Another Goth on Mastodon? Hello there! It's fairly quiet from a music point of view, but I'm hoping a bunch of us can get talking at some point...

#goth people of Mastodon. Where are you all?

I get a lot of noise on here, but nothing pertinent to subject matter I'm interested in...

@foghorn@ieji.de Awesome! For pleasure or are you based out there for work? I'm in Norfolk. It's boiling right now...

@foghorn@ieji.de *waves* Hello!

#nowplaying Second Still - Second Still. Outstanding band I've loved for several years. They supported She Past Away in London last year and were astonishing. Check them out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=majF-ea6n8U #postpunk

Is anyone still using this by the way? It's the only social media I keep active these days.

Necessity is the mother of invention, apparently. So I modified one of my monitor arms and turned it into a DSLR arm for a better videoconferencing experience

@knowak The big, dark skies of Norfolk are one of the reasons I decided to move to Norwich. The other reason is because Norwich is the City of Ale...
Last weekend, I had cloudy skies unfortunately. Typical! 😂

Hoping to get out with this at the weekend and study Betelgeuse. Not had a weekend to myself since the new year... #astronomy

Also, happy #dataprivacyday

I do like Mastodon, but it has been 6 months since joining and none of my social circle has shown up on here. I see lots of moaning about Facebook & Twitter being awful, but I don't see a mass exodus jumping ship to the Fediverse. Curious...

Not posted on here for a while (largely because not much has happened), so I'm going to return with some dick waving. I've upgraded my USB Podcaster with an XLR Procaster. My word it takes a lot of gain to make it shine, but it sounds great! That is all...

I regret not buying a few more of these now. A GlusterFS cluster is the way forward as a home NAS replacement.

@RaeYcrep This is where my ignorance of apt-based distros comes in, but I *think* you need to do an update first, which will pull down the latest package information, then do an upgrade to download and install the packages. I think...

I'll see if I can test it. I'm a BSD guy, but I'm sure I can spin up PureOS or something similar and try it out.

@RaeYcrep Oh, forgot to mention:

As root (or using sudo) run crontab -e to edit the crontab. You may also be able to just edit /etc/crontab, but I can't remember xD

@RaeYcrep You absolutely can. I'm not a debian/ubuntu/raspian user but the following should do what you need:

30 20 * * * root apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y > /home/your-user-name/updates.log

So at 20:30 run (as root) apt-get update and if successful (&&) run an upgrade with -y (yes to 'are you sure') and write a log file to your home directory.

Make sense?

@RaeYcrep It's surprisingly accurate and uses bugger all data (good for metered connections). I use that and the Linux command cheat sheet all the time (curl cheat.sh/LINUX_COMMAND)

@RaeYcrep WOAH!
