Things I did last week - 2025-03-10->2025-03-16

things

• ive been trying to use zoxide instead of cd this week
• we had a our leaky bath tap replaced on friday. we replaced it with a thermostatic tap. its great. no more running the risk of the bath being too cold because i turned the cold tap to far.
• my digestive system has not loved me this week. im swinging between constipation and diarrhea. hopefully it will calm down this week.
• while dealing with a banking thing I found out that the Faster Payments system doesnt like it when you have an apostrophe in your account name
• i could have done without dealing with the banking thing. its yet another sign of my dad's failing memory
• kake dyed yet another shirt for me.
• yesterday I made RGL read only for the general public so that we don't have to worry about the Online Safety Act hopefully. While doing this I worked out an issue I was having with basic auth for the edit instances of several of things based on openguides. As an aside chatgpt got the puppet for this wrong.
• i got annoyed with a password reset page
