A bridge along one of the major routes between England and Wales used a have toll for entering Wales, but it was free to leave.

For a bit of added context to compare against the £29 million fine, Virgin Media reported a profit last year of £3.9 billion.

I’ve heard rumours that Labour are considering not running an official party candidate, to make room for someone who may be willing to stand as an independent candidate. Someone who could run as on unaffiliated and somewhat anti-establishment, but also anti-Farage platform. No idea who that could actually be though.

Jumping before he gets pushed? Although probably with every intention of jumping back in again once the dust has settled as the leader of “Remake UK” or similar to keep the grift going.

Or maybe he will try and go down fighting and use this to do a big Trumpian rant about it all being a big conspiracy. He does seem a bit unstable currently.

It’s worked well for me so far. I chose Homarr because it has a GUI for dashboard creation, I wanted the whole family to be able to use it and they aren’t all up to editing YAML etc.

I use Homarr and initially created a really complex dash, but I’ve since whittled it down to just the bare essentials as a homepage.

Links to my most used web pages and self hosted services, and a couple of vital metrics that I would need to act upon quickly.

For everything else I have Grafana dashboards I can dip into as I need to.

I revived an old Kindle recently by jailbreaking and installing KOReader, and I’ve been reading more ever since.

I sold my DSLR kit this year because of this. It took fantastic pictures, but the effort of lugging all the gear around made it feel the purpose of each trip was to take pictures, not enjoy the trip itself.

Now I just use my phone. Photos may not be technically as good but they are still more than adequate and it’s just so much easier.

I’m sure this will end well.

Although if it’s trained on transcripts of 111 calls it’s just going to send everyone to A&E anyway.

A VPS is going to have all the same problems as a local server in terms of inexperienced users, and will also add all the extra hassle of managing and paying for the VPS account.

I would say the best options for emergency access are local backups and documentation, which you already have. You could also consider keeping additional copies of essential passwords (like email accounts etc) in a simpler vault like Keepass. Or even physical copies written down in a security envelope in a safe.

I didn’t know alternate Windows shells where still a thing. I remember Litestep was another back in the day.

If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.

Who knows what signs we might find in ice cores from the Martian South Pole.

It’s amazing how far technology has progressed.

It’s called “disk destroyer” for a reason.

Always double check your dd commands folks.

Well, there is still time for a relatively unknown backbencher to come forward. I think something similar happened the last time Burnham ran for the leadership.

The majority of the public is desperate for change, and running out of patience with a political system that doesn’t deliver.

Starmer ran on a vague platform of change and competence, but since taking office Starmer has shown have little political vision or political acumen to move the country forward. The Labour government has been less beset by personal scandal, but the bar for that was already incredibly low.

Some old computer magazines in the 8 bit era occasionally distributed software on flexidiscs. They were also called Floppy ROMs.

The older games still hold up at least. I’ve been playing through Emerald again and it’s been a lot of fun.

There’s also quite a few good ROM hacks out there too.

I hadn’t heard of Moonfin before, it looks promising as an Apple TV client. Any pitfalls with it?

Unfortunately many parts of Sailfish are proprietary though.
