Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction
I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.
An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.
A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.
I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

"An evolution of the UCP game is that this panel's surveys are designed to block the embarrassing flood of disagreements and complaints we usually find in the results. This time around, before you take the survey you're shown a video arguing for the government's preferred positions—and then once you get in there, it's all multiple choice and none of the choices let you disagree with the government. Great stuff."
This is an absolute truth. I literally got to the end of the FIRST page of the UCP's survey to ban books from school libraries before I had to quit because I couldn't truthfully answer their multiple-choice question, which had me choose when "children should be allowed access to sexually-explicit material", which they had already determined to be queer perspectives which had nothing to do with sex, nevermind "explicit sexual content".
I noted in my long answer that we already have laws against access of pornography to minors, and if there was actual "explicit sexual content" it would already be illegal to place in a school library. But the long answer wouldn't be seen by anyone, only their loaded multiple-choice results.

So, having helped to fuck everything up as a Tory MP for 14 years, he wants to try to fuck everything up even more as a Reform MP.

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:uo2fn…
The video features a small black kitten with striking blue eyes, sitting on a light-colored bedspread. The kitten is positioned in the center of the frame, facing the camera, and appears to be looking directly at it. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, providing a simple and unobtrusive backdrop. The kitten's fur is sleek and shiny, and its ears are perked up, indicating alertness. The lighting in the room is soft and warm, creating a cozy atmosphere. Throughout the video, the kitten remains mostly stationary, with slight movements of its head and eyes, suggesting curiosity or attentiveness. The camera remains steady, focusing on the kitten, capturing its expressions and subtle movements. Towards the end of the video, the kitten moves out of the frame, and the camera captures a brief, blurry image of what appears to be a fried egg, adding an unexpected and humorous element to the scene.

Oh, I just remembered, I need to fire up my travel network rig and update the firmware and software. Also, I ran the battery for about 5 hours last night while at the Selectboard meeting, so it needs to be recharged. That took me down to 63% capacity, which is not bad.
Still, if I were making this again, instead of one 25 Ah powerbank, I'd use two smaller ones, since this one powerbank cannot power the two devices and be charged at the same time.
YEP. Wrong address again. That means the router config was completely wiped. Fortunately, it wasn't a very complex config, so it will only take a minute to fix, but I shouldn't have to. Thanks, tp-link.
Strangely, the WIFI SSID and passkey settings were retained, but the IP settings were reverted to the factory default.
Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!
The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:
gem pristine --all
and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.
I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."

If you're looking for #xkcd comics on the Fedi, my recommendation is @xkcd. It has the comics, the "title text" (the little bonus joke you usually get when hovering with your mouse over the comic), _and_ pretty good alt texts. And the "What If" videos, too.
One thing its alt texts lack is the names of the characters, like "Cueball", "Megan", or "Black Hat". The "Transcript" section on explainxkcd.com/ is slightly better in that regard.

2. Bukan semua ahli kitab memusuhi Islam, Allah masih lagi menggelar mereka sebagai alhi kitab. Yang perlu berhati-hati ialah yang kafir dikalangan mereka. Kafir di sini bermaksud mereka yang telah tahu kebenaran Islam tetapi tetap tidak mahu menerimanya. Golongan kedua yang Allah mahu para sahabar berhati-hati ialah kaum musyrikin seperti musyrikin Mekah. Mereka yang yang pertama menentang Islam sehinggakan nabi saw dan sahabat berhijrah ke Madinah.

The image depicts a scene during twilight, with a sky transitioning from a light blue to soft pink and white hues, indicating the sun is setting. The clouds are scattered, with some areas appearing denser than others. In the foreground, several cars are parked, with their silhouettes visible against the dimming light. The cars are mostly dark-colored, with one appearing to be a reddish-brown. Behind the cars, there are buildings with visible rooftops, including a house with a tiled roof and a white wall. Utility poles with power lines stretch across the scene, adding to the urban setting. The overall atmosphere is calm and quiet, with the fading light suggesting the end of the day.

“There were ambulances coming in, just bringing dead people, and then there were donkey-drawn carts bringing dead people,” she recalled in an interview in London. “By about 10 o’clock, we had 20 or so dead bodies, and then easily a hundred or so gunshot wounds.”"

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image depicts a character in a dynamic pose, wearing a red cape that billows behind him, suggesting movement. The character has a gray beard and hair, and is dressed in a combination of armor and a flowing garment. The armor includes a metallic gauntlet on the left hand, and the character holds a sword in his right hand, which is sheathed but ready for use. The cape is a rich red color, contrasting with the character's gray hair and beard, and the armor's metallic sheen. The background is plain white, emphasizing the character. The date "2/19/9 2023" is visible in the bottom left corner, likely indicating the creation date of the artwork.
