Sounds good. Tell you what, why don't you write a complete list of every problem that needs sorting, objectively ranked in order of importance, and we can make sure no-one addresses problem #2 until problem #1 is fixed.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Yeah, it's also exactly what the EU and it's predecessors exist to prevent. We've never had a period of prolonged peace in Europe like we have now. And these utter fucking slabs want to undo it.

SUKBRICK sounds like a demeaning act that we brought on ourselves so lets go with that.

Do you know which Jack is your favourite? You should have a contest determine your favourite Jack. A Jack-Off, if you will.

WFM. Looks like you're using Let's Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you're good.

Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.

JFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I'm thicker from having watched that. You can't just post shit like that without warning.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It's their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn't matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, "those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately."

"You're about two kilometers outside the anomaly."

"Chuck."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"The anomaly. I named the anomaly 'Chuck'."

"NEVER name the anomalies. That's how you get hurt."

Dynamo Episode 5

 

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

 

The apartment blocks - two of perhaps a hundred - are surrounded by open greenery, wide walkways and dense tram networks. Most of them have café bars, bookstores, grocery stores or the like on the ground level and loads of benches, play areas and exercise equipment dotted about. The place is rife with Third Places.

The remarkable thing about these is that, to the locals, they seem fairly unremarkable.

 

Does anyone know a way of calculating the amount of heating I need to maintain an average temperature in terms of kWh of heating per 24 hours? Ideally one taking into account weather conditions.

I have a pretty big Home Assistant setup which includes switches for individually controlling all the (electric) heaters in my home. I'm also using an electricity supplier that changes the amount they charge every 30 minutes to reflect supply and demand. Given these rates are published at least 24 hours in advance I can currently choose a number of hours to run the heaters per day and have an automation automatically select the cheapest periods. I'm paying less per kWh for heating than I would if I was using a gas boiler. Plus, it's all from renewables, so working out that number of hours is the next step.
