  • As others have said, 100% a leak.

    I would advise to stand on a chair or stepladder underneath the ceiling and check to see if it is still level. If you see an obvious deformation around the stain, this will be being caused by water pooling on top of the ceiling plasterboard. In which case, once the leak is sorted, you will likely need to drain the pooled water, cut out the damaged section, replace it, then replaster and repaint.

    We had exactly the same issue in our last house. It was in a difficult to see spot hidden behind our kitchen cabinets. We only realised the severity of the issue when the ceiling boards gave way and fell on my head.




  • I’ve switched both my laptop and desktop over to Linux (Bazzite and Fedora respectively) in the last 6 months.

    The last time I tried to daily Linux (over a decade ago) I ended up switching back eventually, but this time I really don’t think I’ll need to. All of the games I play most often work perfectly, the dev tooling is even better than it is on Windows, and the hardware compatibility side has been completely flawless.

    Gone are the days of having to hunt down obscure Linux drivers for your touchpad or webcam. Everything just works out of the box.




  • Well, I’m currently writing a service and frontend, both in C# (Blazor for the UI), and using docker-compose to build and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi running Linux. So not only cross-platform, but cross-architecture as well.

    This is not a new thing either. Since .NET Core was released almost 10 years ago, it has supported cross platform development.








  • Our cat ushers us into bed when it’s near bedtime. If one of us is playing games late or otherwise up past midnight she will literally meow non-stop and chase us into the bedroom, it’s mildly annoying sometimes but very sweet haha. Then she’ll spend a few minutes with us in bed making biscuits before buggering off elsewhere, job completed.
