She has come so far from the little sick kitten, now she is blooming into the princess that she is meant to be.

Try putting a flat bed or a folded up towel up there & see if they like it.

Looks like a standard issue orange cat.

I thought that was the dolphins?

Looks all normal to me.

Cats view the laws of physics as a mere suggestion.

Are you sure it isn't μ?

That's not a look of "I've been caught".

That is a look of either "Oh look prey, must hunt and kill" or treat bag has been opened

 

Matilda went over the rainbow bridge today.

Imagine a feline version of Kevin mixed with a Husky & golden retriever who is powered by chaos.

You are doing work.

Being a comfortable self heating bed for kitty.

Get her to a vet asap!

It could be a early indication of kidney problems.

My previous cat Tweet had similar issues and it was from his kidneys shutting down.

Unfortunately it wasn't caught early enough so even with medication and a low protein diet he passed over the rainbow bridge a month later.

They are just deciding whether or not to kill you.

Here is my overlord Matilda having a deep snooze after being out on an adventure visiting everyone in my complex.

She's a Tortoiseshell seal point Tonkinese.

 

Times have gotten rough for a lot of us and as a slave to a feline one of the things that I have found that has gotten completely overpriced is flea treatment.

I normally purchase Bravecto plus (3 month) and the average price is getting close to double what it was a few years ago (averaging $90 for each 3 month treatment).

Kitty was facing gaps in treatment due to other bills taking precedence but thankfully I came across a Tauranga vet service "MyVet" who are selling most of the common flea treatments (and other treatments & prescriptions) for about half the price of everywhere else.

In January I used some holiday pay and brought a years supply saving about $150.

Which may not seem like a big saving but it buys a whole lot of cat biscuits and soft food.

Her name is Matilda Sassy Pants, she is a tortoiseshell seal point tonkinese who I took in after my mum had to go into a rest home.

 

If you have just recently received an update to Firefox on Android, you may find that all of your bookmarks now have sorting enabled with no option to turn it off.

There is a way (at the time of this post) to turn off this function.

Instructions for disabling automatic sorting currently:

  1. Open settings.
  2. Tap on About Firefox
  3. Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times to enable developer settings.
  4. Back out to the main settings menu, scroll down to Secret Settings, and tap on that.
  5. Find the 'Enable Compose Bookmarks' toggle and turn it off.

It looks like it's something the Firefox dev's have decided that everyone needs this without any other alternatives.

So I recently built a new computer to replace my 7 year old one but I have noticed a strange problem with it.

When I boot up the computer and use it as normal it sits around 8-10 GiB of ram in use plus about another 9 GiB committed.

But when I suspend the computer then un-suspend it later the in use ram starts creeping up even if I have less running than I did when I originally booted the computer.

Last time this happened it went from 10 GiB all the way up to about 43 GiB in the space of a few hours.

If I reboot then things go back to normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could look for to fix it?


Specs:

  • Manjaro XFCE 25.0.0 Zetar
  • 6.13.8-2 Kernel
  • Gigabyte B860I AORUS PRO ICE ITX Motherboard
  • Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF CPU
  • 64GB DDR5 RAM
  • 2TB M.2 NVMe
 

To save others from a bit of confusion I will make a post here.

The method to change the Web UI is "sudo pihole setpassword"

It will then prompt you for a new password.

 

I brought a Grandstream GWN7711P switch a while ago but I have found a rather annoying problem.

When the switch does not have an internet connection it is spamming "router.gwn.cloud" every 2-5 seconds and filling my firewall logs (360+ times in 35 min).

Does anyone know how to disable the cloud connection?

 

There is something I have been wondering.

Various manufacturers regularly put out new notebooks with specialty covers either as a yearly special or a limited edition product.

My question is, why don't they start making covers instead/as well?

Hobonichi, Midori, Kokuyo and some others make basic covers but none make decorated paper, plastic, vinyl or fabric covers that can be moved between notebooks.

It would be nice to be able to get a fabric cover printed with something like Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Just a PSA: for anyone using a MikroTik router, using it for their DHCP server and are having issues with their devices not using Pi-hole.

If you have set the IP of your Pi-hole as the DNS server and are seeing entries in "dynamic servers" then the router is using your ISP's DNS server causing it to bypass your Pi-Hole.

You need to go to the interface that is supplying your internet connection (PPPoE client, DHCP) and turn off the option "use peer dns".

This will disable dynamic servers and route everything to your Pi-hole.

 

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

ap.syncforreddit.com

Does anyone have any insight?

 

I have the search bar added to the toolbar which I use to either search straight from it or use it to bring up google.

It looks like in the latest update you can no longer select the text box, hit enter and get taken to the search page.

You have to enter some text before it does so.

Does anyone else have the same issue?
