Fake cauldron lighting, they got no where near!

Bleh.

Speed bumps now are designed to make SUVs do 20. I don't have an SUV, I can't do 20 over them!

Because the jury said so.

Why do you think starmer wants to get rid of jury trials?

That's a natural spit of land (there is another technical term if it has land at both ends I think?). It was there, and flat, so they built the road on it. It wasn't built for the road. (....probably)

Anyone have any idea what sort of % improvements we are looking at here?

Uh, I have bad news on where sausages come from....

They managed to build a brand new telecabine in Selva in under 6 months when a landslide took out the old one. (Same ski area)

Seems to be cutting it tight though.

It's an amazing castle, but it needs some work. None of the info boards were readable, and the website their QR codes pointed at was dead.

They also had a cafe/toilets that was marked on the maps, but looked like it had been closed for ages.

Most of the paradox DLC come with free updates though.

Hasn't stellar is been revamped multiple times? (For better or worse)

I thought the aluminium was fine conductivity wise, the problem is that it oxidises and becomes brittle.

Every time a BT man went into the box, it was russian roulette as to whose internet would get broken.

If they are twit-twoo owls, listen to where the sounds come from, it will be from a pair, with one going twit and the other going too.

 

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.
