STATEMENT

Our last run with Fernando Alonso yesterday showed a battery-related issue that impacted our test plan with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.

Since then, we have been carrying out simulations on the test bench in HRC Sakura. Due to this and a shortage of power unit parts, we have adapted today's run plan to be very limited and consist only of short stints.

I just watched the Ski Mountaineering and it's a really interesting winter sport. They definitely need to leave that as part of the Winter Olympics. in c/olympics@sh.itjust.works

I think there is a longer relay format one?

Find a new one then. They make money off you being registered but not using them

Doesn't every GP have to offer online booking now? You should just be able to book an appt, even if it's a week or so out.

It takes ages to activate/deactivate though. You are going to have to activate it way before you start breaking

Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

If, hypothetically, France put a tax on electricity from fast chargers for example - you would be double paying that milage.

I can see that causing a proliferation of illegal GPS jammers.

..... And lots of stories about the government having gos trackers in all electric cars

The late queen's protection of him was a blemish on her record. I'm happy the king has cut him loose to face consequences..... I wonder if they asked him before the arrest...

With this, you would potentially be double(or triple if you include road tax itself) dipping on tax though. You would be paying for milage + Irish tax on 'fuel' when filling up in Ireland.

With petrol, you would be paying Irish tax filling up & driving there, not both.

What about anyone that drives abroad? You would accrue English road tax for driving on french or Irish roads!

Article's headline, not mine!

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

The forest center near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area (feddit.uk)

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.
