I just moved all my MySQL databases, running on an old Linux box, over to a MariaDB instance on a RPi 4 8GB. It took less than two hours, everything seems fine, services are all talking to each other and nothing has (yet) caught fire.

I'm waiting for the gut-punch. It's coming.

Seriously, if you own a website, and need to include certain terms just for SEO reasons, please don't just stick them in the copy without checking it at least makes grammatical sense. It comes across as jarring and causes people (well, me) to look elsewhere.

Its not a bad point, but literally every technology's ability to make creating horse porn easier is directly equivalent to its ability to make literally anything else.
If "does it make it easier to create illegal stuff" is your value metric, then we should just kill the internet.

SB Components have just emailed me with the subject "RPi boards now available" but the body of the email explains they're talking about a 3rd party peripheral, not actual Pis.
There is nothing more British than the entire country collectively using the death of the head of state as an excuse to take the day off.
As the experience of using the web becomes increasingly unpleasant in the name of preventing bots from accessing websites, it'd really be nice to know the reason why it's such a bad thing to have bots accessing websites anyway. Or has the cure become worse than the disease?
The downside of having a really complex home automation system like I have is the mammoth programming task required just to change a sodding light bulb.

The phrase:

"there is no privacy on the internet"

almost seems like controlled opposition, to convince people to not even try to reclaim their privacy.

Surveillance is not inevitable. Stop normalizing it.
This week I have learned

1) IKEA have a knowledge graph of all of their products, with a proper ontology, in a git repo so they can do easy version control
2) The Ā£5 IKEA Lack coffee table can be easily converted into a 19" equipment rack

I can't decide which makes me happier.

Somewhere in Leeds a few peoples morning has gone from "oh wow our social stuff is getting some decent views" to "uh oh".

Just because it's on the web or a meme doesn't mean you can use it commercially. If "creative" is in your job title you should know this.
I feel like I've been waiting for ever for this, but now the wait is finally over, and has been well worth it. Thank you, @SecondSightFilm I almost forgot how much I love this movie.

On a related note, turns out the drive in my PC happily reads 4K discs, despite not being marketed as such! I'm going to need a bigger monitor.

Police tweet. Local paper writes article about tweet, adding no extra value. Paper then tweets a link to their own article. Now the police (who wrote the tweet) have retweeted the tweet about the article about the tweet that they tweeted. My head hurts. #journalism

Why are people attacking money saving expert Martin Lewis' wealth? Personally I like taking advice from someone who's obviously good at managing their personal finances. If the man was up to his neck in debt I'd be a bit more skeptical about his money saving credentials.
I never understood the phrase "catching up with friends and family". It kinda implies they're running away from me.
