Little truck appearing in the Little Plane book is the cameo of the century for my ~3 year old.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... So this bloke used a script to download publically available data and he's being prosecuted for it? What?

Me eating brisket and ribs alone while my wife is outside the restaurant wrangling the children. Solid fathers day.

The fact that Planes is Pixar's worst movie (even my 2.5 year old was meh) is well known. But my question is this. There is a scene where manure is referred to (as fertilizer). In this Transformersesque world of cars and planes where every living thing is a machine, WHERE IS THE SHIT COMING FROM.

My latest Home Assistant absurdity is for my laundry. They're plugged into zigbee power monitors and added door contact sensors. When the power spikes its state is changed to on, shows green. When the power stops it's yellow until the door opens, with accompanying phone unload machine notifications.

Thank god somebody found Barry Hall so we can make sense of all this.

So seems like oil refinery in my town is having some issues this evening www.reddit.com/r/Geelong/co...

The town of Pontypandy is extremely pork barrelled by corrupt politicians, particularly in the emergency services space. And very clearly has a pyromaniac within the upper ranks of their fire department. They really should be investigated.

The urge I get to retrieve the hot cross bun stuck in the toaster out with a knife is so strong that I'm beginning to wonder if my subconscious is trying to kill me.

My Home Assistant setup is getting bonkers.

Ignore all the other shit this is why it's awesome to have children.

So president of peace is about to send some peace to Iran for... reasons?

So my wife picked up some sandwich cookie cutter things from Aldi. Uhh... Hmm

Anchor your furniture parents, even the dumb little toy kitchens. Guess that's what I'm doing today.

I too like to live... dangerously.

Dust not even settled and ghouls already using it as leverage.

The RAM I bought for my new PC in late October for $205 is now $978. Wow.

Cloudflare need to just take their name off their 500 error pages, maybe change it to Azure or something.

I Still don't really have any idea what's going to happen to my daughter's Google account on the 10th. It's all setup with restrictions and allowlists for youtube and has a Google TV profile. Will be interesting and annoying.

Didn't think this would impact me as much as it did. Crazy.

Bloody hell I'm gonna have to stop wearing my Helly Hanson jacket aren't I. I love that jacket.

Kinda cool that I can go back through 21 years of purchases on @scorptec.bsky.social (PC hardware retailer). First purchase was a Netgear ADSL router/modem. So I was still on dial-up when I made the order. Wild.

My 10 year old QNAP NAS with a dual core 2.4ghz Celeron is running Overseerr, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Mosquito, Matter, Home Assistant, Frigate recording 2 cameras and a Minecraft server. Pretty impressive really. Current drives in there are 6 years old and just waiting for the day that one fails.

It's both not surprising in the slightest but also still a little bit surprising how quickly big corporations line up to kiss the ring.

I can

Nothing quite upends a household like gastroenteritis. This has been one of the more horrible weeks in recent memory and I didn't even catch it (yet).

Jesus man, Cars 2 gets pretty dark. They literally torture a car to death in it.

Why do the anthropomorphic cars in the movie cars have doors?

This is impossible.

70s and 80s golden books really don't mess around. Always gotta be ready to ad lib when reading these things to my kids.

Man I thought it would take 6 months not 3.

Me, I'm the sicko.

Bought one of those matte finish picture frame TVs for the bedroom. First time I've mounted a TV at home. Mostly because it's a lot of effort to do it properly. This one particularly because it sits flush against the wall with a very small area for cable management. Very happy with the result.

Cmon Greens or ALP. Use the moment.

Ok I've peaked with my home coffee skills. Ain't gonna top this.

Daughter is entering her @davidfirth.bsky.social era it seems.

Not sure this is the hat I want my second child walking around in...

My kid's daycare went into voluntary administration... This could be bad.

I genuinely love the Forum.

Shihad at the Corner last night were great. Just barely managed to snap this pic when he emerged from behind the notorious Corner Hotel pole. Also every 7 foot bloke in Melbourne was there last night.
