Rugby’s leaders should show courage of their convictions as Stephen Jones did (www.theguardian.com)
 

Great read here about Stephen Jones of The Times. Not a paper I read, but he has been huge in Rugby Union journalism for decades. And a little bit about the recent game troubles. Expect impact benches and kicking to dominate the upcoming six nations

Seconding uv and adding docker-compose for running dev DBs/services as my recommendation

Is Britain’s working class too weak to carry out a revolution? in c/world@lemmy.world

Yes, history will not be kind to Starmer. But he won't be Liz fucking Truss

All the best to the Chinese then. Patents should be expired/expiring soon too

Sadly a commercial flop. Didn't generate enough, cost a lot, and maintenance was a nightmare too. Sea water and conditions destroy basically everything, it is rather phenomenal

Underwater tidal turbines showing potential, if we do want to harness sea power. Floating turbines looking to be actually viable though, and less invasive on the maritime environment

KDE Internet of Things Development Restarted For Home Assistant Integration in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Use your imagination is my advice. Plenty of programmes blur client/server boundaries and workstation roles. Desktop envs are very capable and wired into huge amounts of your machine

Why wouldn't you? Desktop integration with your home. Perhaps HA can use that big GPU of yours for local LLM type stuff?

Jac Morgan: Wales captain to join Gloucester from Ospreys (www.bbc.com)
 

Good to see I say, Wales' cash can then go to paying the youngsters it badly needs

Match thread: European cups round 2 (lemmy.world)
 

More Champions and Challenge cup action this weekend, with all the rugby you can watch. And local rugby on too. So, what are we watching, what are we predicting, and what are we happy to hear about this weekend?

Pau vs Northampton was great to watch yesterday whilst peeling tatties

Match thread: European Cups Round 1 (lemmy.world)
 

The Champions and Challenge Cup both kick off tonight, with so much cross country rugby, it's going to be a hoot!

The Champions Cup has 4 pools this year, the Challenge 3. And it is a weird pool stage, then round of 16 knock out for Champions cup, with 5th placed teams going to the Challenge cup, 6th being eliminated. And the Challenge Cup a similar format, but with 1 pool being added essentially. Anyway!

Let the rugby begin, my picks of the weekend to watch are Sale vs Glasgow tonight, Bath v Munster tomorrow, and Gloucester vs Castres Sunday.

As always: predictions, reactions and shitposts appreciated, and enjoy your rugby!

Match thread: EOY 5, and Pro Clubs (lemmy.world)
 

Wales vs SA at 1510 UTC today, and loads of URC and some English Prem this weekend too. Hard to see Wales getting much out of this match, so what are we all looking forward to instead?

As always, predictions and reactions more than appreciated, have a great rugby weekend!
