Is it actually good, I got out off by the click bait titles.

Is it actually tech, or just business drama?

Baked in adds in podcasts etc

Also near the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, so you can watch the eclipse & sunset (wear eclipse glasses!), have dinner, then look for meteors

Meanwhuke, my pixel 7 has condensation in the camera from being in a sweaty pocket.....

Not auto sell, but if you go to the badges screen in steam you can sell/buy all the cards for a badge in one go.

They have some ridiculously strict rate limiting though, so you do a few, then come back and hour later to carry on etc.

It lets you use a snorkel mask with a mustache. (Clean the mask well though, it will destroy the plastic)

If you get Qobuz they pay for a 3rd party service to import your playlists. Did a reasonable job (mostly)

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

Moving the playlists across, even with the tool they provide is a bit of a pain, I'm still having to occasionally remove bad tracks

Adding to what other have said - look at the different post sorts. I recommend either scaled (score, but taking sub size I to account) or recent comments. There is less activity general here (less people), so get engaged!

At least in the UK, that kind of unilateral change also comes with a free contract break - if you don't like it, you can quit without paying a y penalty charges.

You can probably try to do similar to them.... They will just fire you as a customer.

(UK) I know lots of people with either whole house water softeners, or a filtered tap for drinking water in the kitchen.

That's mostly for limescale and water taste due to hard water though.

Is ring wing when they get so right ring they loop back round and become left wing again? 😆

In all seriousness, this is one of those things where I don't understand why an MP hasn't make a private members bill to un-prescribe the. It's probably worth it for the press, even if it doesn't succeed.

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.
