The main issue in the short term was ships being stuck and ships not being able to get to their destinations in there. Now that's sorted out, it's just a fuel cost issue.

It's a dead end in there, you can't get through it like you can through the red sea into Suez. They are more concerned about that channel. That's why the french have a carrier group near there, to protect shipping against the houthis instead of joining the US in it's current mistake.

I have a veg& lentil curry in there currently if that counts? Not sure why you think my stuff is unhealthy?

Much more time efficient to cook 12 portions of something at once than cook something individually 12 times.

If you have a big enough freezer you still get lots of verity of meals. (And can still cook stuff ad-hoc)

I freeze home cooked Bolognese, stroganoff, chill con carne, curry, casseroles etc. they all reheat such that you would never know it was frozen.

Some other dishes with rice or pasta in them when frozen lose some of their texture, but taste great still. Some stuff (chicken cassoulet from this weekend for example) is just annoying to defrost but is fine once done.

You freeze it so you get more of a mix of stuff.

Cook 4-12 portions something freezable most weekends, eat a portion, freeze the rest.

Cook something simple 2 days a week (burgers/fajitas etc)

I now have a selection of 5 or 6 different frozen meals in the freezer at a time.

Loads of tourists there. They have casinos, fancy restaurants, good views, a good aquarium.... And a F1 track!

.... Just turn of your roaming, they are not in the EU roaming rules, so charge €40 a mb or something.

Nice of them to both do it on the same lap

It's not the rain that's the concern, it's lightning. (I believe it's because that grounds the medical helicopter)

15 mins is a standard shit break tbh. You want to use the far stalls though as those have phone signal. If you use the ones closer to the door, you only get signal when someone opens the door.

Article's headline, not mine!

I disagree, with the headline, but it does at least mention astroturfing etc.

 

Seems to go to an alternate front end, but not load?

 

... Who would have thought?

 

Would link to the status page.... But it's down!

 

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
