Pretty damn good, actually.
Making some progress on DIY (of which I am terrible). Made a habit of getting up early to do some project work (building 3D models - of which I am terrible). Keeping in touch with buds through PC gaming (of which I am terrible)
Just generally enjoying all those things I’m bad at. Can’t imagine how buzzed I’ll be if I get any good at them.
First, welcome to feddit.uk!
If you’re enjoying it then it doesn’t matter how bad you are, other than it makes you happy! I’m awful at DIY, it actually makes me anxious.
What games are you playing?
Thanks for the welcome!
I get that. I occillate pretty wildly between anxious I’m ballsing up and head-pounding rage at my own ineptitude whenever I DIY solo. Thankfully, I have a mega-competent spouse.
We’re actually playing Abiotic Factor; hadn’t heard of it before my friend recommended it and now it’s started a ritual of once a week gaming sesh and chatting about life. It’s basically free therapy.
Suspicious activity on my bank card at 2am (while I was asleep) and I noticed all the messages from the bank after I got up and was already on the way to the hospital for a (planned) xray.
Sorting this crap out now but later setting up a pi hole so that should be fun at least!
I’d like to have my Monday off as a gaming day but ho hum
Ah damn, hopefully they refunded you the transactions? I spotted two dodgy transactions on my credit card and had to raise it with my bank. Luckily I got the money back but it’s concerning that they got through at all, without me having to authorise the transactions!
Yeah. All sorted thankfully.
Scary they got through without you authorising though.
I’ve found:
Nationwide (bank not credit) trigger happy on blocking card which can be a pain sometimes buy saved me this time.
My asda credit card I’ve been caught before and had to claim it back which wasn’t fun and lots of hoops to jump through.
I’d tell you how my marks and spencers credit card was buy I don’t use the bloody thing. The android app refuses to run as I have a FOSS keyboard so never bothered to even put the thing in my wallet and register it.
Just some friendly advice: Consider changing your card’s bank’s password.
Years ago I had my Barclaycard account compromised, someone disabled paper statements, changed my password and bought loads of toys.
I pay my card manually monthly and couldn’t log in (I use keepass, so I knew it was the correct password)… phoned Barclaycard and got transferrd to their fraud dept. they asked a few questions to verify me and then were really good and going back through all the stuff I’d not bought.
As they’d obviously gained access to my account details, not just cloning the card, I changed all my banking passwords and put alerts on transactions larger than I normally spend.
We have 2FA nowadays, but still, I don’t trust the website security and I definitely don’t use banking apps.
Good call and thanks.
That’s probably a sensible way to use a pi, I use mine for batocera. :)
Getting excited for the move to Weymouth next month. Last time I was in town an old guy told me to knock on his door if my wife gets the job, I hope he hasn’t forgotten. Anyone in the Dorset area who would take a pint from an American? Hit me up, I’m friendly as fuck.
