It's quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it's actually just created more mess.

It's really bad that people end up living like this.

AntennaPod. The developers seem to have kept it to a very simple remit of just doing podcasts and doing it well.

PfSense and OPNsense are both killer router "out of the box" distros built on BSD. I say this as a Linux user, with little interest in running BSD for my applications, but... Respect to BSD. ✊

First time I realised systemd had a logo. And I've been using it for years!

Special shout-out has to go to my local newspaper websites The Derby Telegraph and Nottingham Post .

They are a virtually unreadable mess, due to the layers of advertising and other JavaScript interruption.

Interesting. I've been using ".home.arpa" for a while now, since that's one of the other often used ways.

thank Mr skeltal

That's how I've got mine set up, with OPNsense.

I've been using it a few years and I only know about half the stuff that pfSense/OPNsense can do. So I would advise newbies to just make small changes at a time because there's a whole lot of stuff you can change. It's worth learning, though. I wouldn't use anything else for my main firewall/router nowadays.

There's a huge disparity between the density of energy produced by wind and solar power versus nuclear. It's about intelligently balancing the tools at your disposal.

The spherical cow and the ephemeral dog share the same father.

I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic "ThinkPad with Fedora on it" Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I've been converted.

I've got a right wing mate who was pointing out the "Farage has his bank closed" story the other week and trying to use it as scaremongering that it's the tip of the iceberg of a government agenda to threaten the populace and it could be happening to the everyman next. 😂

I don't think 95% of us are as much an annoying twat as Farage, though. 🙂

Ooh. I did not know about vscodium! I've removed vscode and installed it on my Mac. Thanks.

ZFS kicks arse. It's worth learning enough to get a basic array going, with a couple of datasets and encryption. Once you get acquainted with that, you'll be using it for years to come.

It happens in the UK too.

Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.

Heh. Maybe he's doing high-end closeting.

When they mention a drop in fuel prices contributing to the drop, do they mean petrol/diesel or also gas/electricity?

Because vehicle fuel mostly depends on the global oil price, and isn't really anything much related to what the Bank of England does.

Yeah. I'm on the Reddit version with a different account but I'm quite determined to keep posting on here and keep things lively. The idea of a decentralised alternative is quite appealing and it would be interesting to see how it evolves. We've got a good chance to keep chatting away and make it thrive.
