@rufustheduck Back when he was young, we tried taking Knold outside with a harness. It was relatively fine, but when we built our catio, we didn’t keep it up.
A few years ago, we tried putting on a harness on him again. Let’s just say that I recognize your description😹
@jesper_linnet I tried putting it on TIGHT and he still got out of it in 0.0001 seconds

@rufustheduck @irene @greem
Ya, it can take a while. Also the trick when they are outdoors is they will walk away from you backwards. When they do that they can slip their front elbow out, then it's game over. Leave slack if they try and do that. 😺 -
@rufustheduck @irene no coyotes in Loughborough either, but we do have to check the garden before letting the dog out. Badgers and foxes are regular visitors.

@rufustheduck Hrm... so somewhere like East Leake, Melbourne, Coalville, Birstall, Thurmaston, Kegworth, Syston, East Goscote. Ish!

I put multiple bells on his collar to make sure birds and mice can hear him coming
Now he's so loud, I can usually tell where he is, even when he's streets away
But I think he's annoyed because I made him look like a Christmas tree and sound like Santa's sleigh

@greem bingo! Coalville. I'm classy

@rufustheduck Hehe. When I first moved here in 1990 as a student, people told me all sorts of horrors about Coalville.
Some of them turned out to be wrong 😉
I moved down here from an old steel town so I understood what the good people of the town had gone through - and that under the blanket of deprivation there were mostly good folks, just struggling to make ends meet.
And now, ok a lot of them are with Amazon, but there's a huge number of jobs there.

@greem Sheffield? Because I lived there in the late 90s too
Coalville in 1990 was a very different place. There were still a couple of working mines

@rufustheduck Nah, Irlam - between Manchester & Warrington. At worst in the early 80s, the unemployment rate for 18-55 ages was somewhere in the region of 30-35%. It was pretty grim.
I worked in Leicester from mid 93 to mid 97, which is when Coalville reached a real low point. And then I worked in Corby, before moving back to Loughborough.
It seems that I had something of a penchant for former industrial towns.

@rufustheduck Maybe he looks pissed not because of you but because of his BLOODY TINNITUS!!!

@greem so Coalville reached its low point just as I left...? Sounds like they were mourning the loss of their favourite son

@rufustheduck Careful, I tried the bell trick once upon a time and it merely honed his skills to an obscene degree. That cat became Death Incarnate, unseen, unheard. Once caught a squirrel.

Please, please don't put bells on the cat, his ears are suffering. It's torture...

@voler I appreciate your concern for him, but this was the vet's suggestion. And he only wears it when he goes out for a couple of hours each day. I take it off the moment he comes in

@Feralhousewife fortunately, he's lazy and kind of clumsy. So I'm hoping.....

@ludman1 Yes, the 'Invite to server' triggers the "Great Invitations" aka Easy Invites. Prosody and Snikket have that and since recently ejabberd as well.
This is exactly for small, family and friends deployments that don’t have open registrations.
I’m not exactly sure how the access control looks like on ejabberd. Maybe only the admin can trigger easy invites. I guess theoretically there are also deployments possible where all users could trigger them.
@zeank can probably tell you more.
-
@ludman1 @daniel @link2xt if you have admin rights with this account than the ad-hoc command will be available to you regardless. And that’s probably why Conversations shows it.

The last menu "Invite to server" what exactly should be (I have no spare phone to test)?
Is there something in common with the Great Invitations recently added by @zeank to Ejabberd?
Because the generated xmpp URI by this menu looks similar like if I create invite from the command line.
Also, my IBR are disabled and no one can send great invites except me from the command line.
So in my configuration this menu should not work (as I expected)?

TIL you can use "for i in <glob>" in bash(posix?)
for i in /opt/local/bin/*; do echo $i; done
rather than
for i in $(ls /opt/local/bin/); do echo $i; done
I can't believe I've been typing unnecessary $() for decades.
(aside: I can never remember where the ; go)

le mani della destra sull'informazione...
L’Huffington Post c’è, Kyriakou prende tutto (e a Repubblica lascerà Orfeo)
Il quotidiano online resterà sotto il controllo dell’imprenditore greco. Ma c’è una grande novità, via via che l’acquisizione del gruppo Gedi sta prendendo forma dopo aver sciolto il nodo della Stampa

@phabrizio @jones io con alcune persone uso xmpp, ma la quasi totalità dei miei interlocutori usa whatsapp e nessuno ha non solo interesse ma nemmeno capacità per usare altro (perché sono persone anziane, perché sono del tutto incapaci nonostante siano più giovani, perché ancora capiscono ma non hanno voglia).
E mi scoccia terribilmente
