But at what cost?

Why Do Sri Lankan Bread Three Wheelers Play Für Elise - Kaveen Rodrigo Many ask why does bread three wheelers (choon paan) play Für Elise.. The answer is very simple and is all about technology.

If you're in #SriLanka #lka you either love or hate our musical bread three wheelers.

Ever wondered why they play Für Elise while wizzing around the neighbourhood? The Answer is much simpler than you expect!

Next was the user info which is not implemented! Have to use a MSFT graph api, which doesn't work when you have custom scopes 🤦

Had to setup default claims on the tokens in the interim.

I cannot.

What's going on with #Azure #Entra what kind of half assed implementation of #OAuth is that?

Got me running in circles first wondering why the JWTs won't validate (apparently JWTs with MSFT only scopes cannot be validated externally)

Poster which shows a tank and the following text, SIL4 Certified Tanks roll forth, with steel-clad grace, Certified safe for time and place. SIL4 stamped, the gold elite, Logic flawless, control complete. Failsafes guard each twist and turn, Redundancy in every churn. Software checked, each byte and bit— But not who’s crushed beneath it. For safety’s not just code and steel, But who gets heard, and who must kneel. It's not so safe, when truth is brown, When warnings rise, then get shot down. So audit more than circuits' hum— Check the systems we've become. True safety starts where justice grows, Not just where certification shows.

I work with #IEC61508 #safety systems, and some of our colleagues were talking about a contractor that does SIL4 systems who builds tank.

We all chuckled that tanks are safety certified, I made a snarky remark the tanks are not SIL4 certified if you're brown.

It was good! Was unsure if the Baratza could grind for Espresso, but turned out surprisingly well.

Got my first #espresso machine! Quite excited, waiting till @malinthe.bsky.social comes over for moral support to pull a shot.

Pulled the trigger on this as it was the cheapest and came with a non preessurized basket.

In my excitement, I had cut my finger on the blade and didn't notice. Now me and my wife are twinning with out Dettol plasters (she also cut herself trying to free the blade)

Blood sweat and tears went into prepping this Bolognese sauce.

The food processor blade was stuck for good, was bummed out. I saw our pair of stainless steel tongs and used it as a grip and lever, alas it came loose.

Ran to my wife with the contraption and said

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Interior of house with sun light coming from the top floor in the background. On one of the walls there is a mixed media artwork hung. On the foreground there are three rattan wood chairs and a coffee table with an orchid plant and some coffee table books.

Mini hifi rack with an amplifier and turntable with two boxes of records on the sides. On the corner a bookshelf speaker on a stand is visible.

Chilling as the sun comes up, with light jams. I finally got my moodeaudio.org raspberry pi setup to Airplay Apple Music.

Tea for her, coffee for me.

Wife's at work, working from home by myself today. Went outside to look at the little plants we have.

That's a lovely gesture!
