I'm at the gate at LHR now and the automated PA announcement just said "for security reasons, unattended luggage will be removed and destroyed."

And then repeated the announcement in German, and then I learned a cool new word, "vernichtet"

Apparently my 75K Alaska status converts to OneWorld Emerald so I get access to the fancy British Airways lounge! Not going to argue with that!

Nothing here is self service, you have to order on your phone using the QR code on the table, and you have to give it a code word that's shown on signs around the lounge, which is a clever solution to avoid people ordering random things to be sent to random tables after they leave.

Made it to London. Closed my eyes for about 5 minutes during takeoff and landing, can't say I was totally asleep tho. Now to go find the airport lounge since I have about 2 hours at LHR

Oh they have sparkling wine in the lounge, it's never too early for a mimosa!

Airport security line was ridiculously long and there was no priority lane. Made it through after about 30 minutes. No line for the foreign passport check so that was a breeze. Now at the Open Sky lounge to get some coffee

Gonna just keep posting travel updates in this thread why not

Overall it took more time to find this place and book an appointment online than it took to get here on the train and do the actual test and get back to the hotel.

Might want to check out Companion https://bitfocus.io/companion/ which can control OBS and much more with a Stream Deck. I run it on a raspberry pi to control a bunch of devices on my network.

Yeah! The Decimator is what you want! https://geni.us/41upBQ

It's still there but I think it requires a Micropub Media Endpoint so it can post the data to the Micropub endpoint as JSON

Indeed! next time!

I don't know why that's upside down 😅😅

I didn't package this up for easy deploying on shared hosting. It will run, but you'll need to be able to either run SSH commands to install the dependencies, or do that on another machine and upload. I'm also not sure about how well the background tasks will work via cron.

Awesome! I've had my eye on that one too. For hauling stuff tho, not kiddos.

Update: I found the app causing the "Your screen is being observed" message! It is the drivers for the 3dconnexion SpaceMouse! Why that needs screen recording capability is beyond me.

For a second there I thought you were taking about MS Teams and I was like what world do you live in 😅

nobody really owns cats

It's open source, but I decided I didn't want to host people's GPS data for multiple reasons so I turned off new user accounts on my instance a couple years ago.

I hear John is getting a hold of one soon...
