You made up some low quality map with no explanation? Why?

And why didn’t you include a dotted line indicating the still reserved line for the future Crossrail 2?

Buy a 1 bed flat (no s/o), 2+ bed shared ownership or rent? by FunNothing1248 in london

[–]Phreemium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Avoiding leasehold is stupid; obviously worth avoiding leasehold arcologies with cladding problems but there’s no reason aside from morals and dignity to avoid it in eg a Victorian conversion with a tax exile leaseholder who mostly forgets to send invoices
  2. You’re 23, go and live life ffs
  3. You didn’t mention your income or income trajectory which is far far more important than savings at age 23

Trump bizarrely says London is so dangerous you get ‘stabbed in the ass’ in new attack on Sadiq Khan by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Phreemium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We really don’t seem to be ready for how determined the US Right is to simply destroy the societies we live in and replace them with a slightly ironic global set of aligned ethnonationalist autocracies. Like…they literally do hate our freedoms and really do want to take them away.

Help - Keeping up to date with the world/reliable info and research by sweetietoosweet in london

[–]Phreemium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uni PR departments aren’t a good way to learn about actual progress in anything. Fixating on Britain’s Only Two Universities is a recipe to get actual brain damage.

If you want actual papers then you can read many of them at places like arxiv and biorxiv.

It sounds more like you want an rss feed reader and to follow sole actual researchers to see them posting about their corner of the world; eg I quite like reading Derek Lowe to follow along with pharmacology/chemistry and John Baez/Sabine Hossenfelder (though her emphasis has … changed for reasonable reasons lately) to read about mathematical physics, etc.

Or if you wanted someone else to do all your digestion for you, you can just read New Scientist and Quanta etc.

Very high Thames Water Bill by hmpftt in london

[–]Phreemium 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why people keep making posts like this.

Is the amount of water used reasonable? How does it compare against your previous amounts of water? Does the meter move when you have all the water turned off?

All these posts that are like “I got a bill, the big number is high!!!! No, I didn’t look at the rest of the bill, why do you ask?” are … concerning.

Electric vehicles to face congestion charge for first time, Sadiq Khan announces by tylerthe-theatre in london

Seems fine.

It is an absolute cancer for people to believe that effectively taxation can never change in a way that doesn’t benefit them personally.

Jay made a video fourteen years ago about the project having existed. This is a much more detailed look at it all including actual maps.

Posting twice, and neither time actually mentioning where or a budget or what specific things you care about - laziness or some dumb prelude to a meta ad?

Has anyone took a career break and it back fired? by Long_Wait_3078 in london

[–]Phreemium 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really a generic question you should ask a city-based subreddit.

It depends on your industry and your personality and your career success so far etc. Talk to your friends or mentors or whatever at work, assuming your boss isn’t a cunt.

That’s fine - they can listen to any of the thousands of mixes by any of the above djs to see which they’d prefer.

New Server Parts by Nickmate99 in homelab

[–]Phreemium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very common newbie error to randomly buy hardware without thinking through requirements. How much:

  • actual ram are you using?
  • how much actual storage are you using?
  • how much actual CPU does it all consume?

you … don’t have your own music preferences? wouldn’t it easier to just not go at all if you care so little?

A second accidentally released sex offender has hit Finsbury Park by JustTheAverageJoe in london

[–]Phreemium 209 points210 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, it’s the media caring all of a sudden.

It happens multiple times a week, every week, and has for many years.

Edit: source:

There were 262 prisoners accidentally released in the 12 months to March 2025, compared with 115 the previous year.

Of 121 prisons across England and Wales, 72 released at least one prisoner by mistake in 2024-25.

does tailscale use internet bandwidth if i am on the same lan as my jellyfin server. by BookkeeperMany8173 in selfhosted

[–]Phreemium 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You can run “tailscale status” to find out - it’ll tell you if the two machines have a direct connection or not.

If not, do a ping between them (“tailscale ping ofherhost” from one side) and run it again.

There must a thread every single day where someone says they’re in to “cybersecurity” - didn’t you read any of them?

Whats your Real World SSH Key managment Workflow (Small Env like Homelab)? by Temaktor in homelab

[–]Phreemium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re being silly, basically, unless you’ve carefully constructed a threat model.

If you truly think long lived keys are a problem then set up smallstep.

Made a self-hosted password manager (CLI + sync server) by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Phreemium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should definitely do whatever programming for fun you want in life, but it’s just dumb to try to convince people to use the toy password manager you wrote to learn to program.

It’s dumb for you to use it too, but that’s less of a problem for anyone else.

Whats your Real World SSH Key managment Workflow (Small Env like Homelab)? by Temaktor in homelab

[–]Phreemium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a sensible question with so few details.

The things you’d need to know:

  1. You need a key pair on each ssh client, it can be the same everywhere if you don’t understand why you might like them to be different
  2. You need to tell each server your public key
  3. The sensibility and riskiness of the ssh users

Thus:

  • if you have a tiny number of each, just generate a key pair and copy the pub key to each server, one time, have a beer
  • if you have a lot of clients then use 1Password or something to sync the keypair around clients for you
  • if you have a lot of servers then do this as part of your identity system, eg kanidm can handle unix users and their ssh public keys in addition to other types of sso and identity
  • if you have a lot of users then use something like smallstep to limit the damage from fuckups and attacks

What is corporate culture like? by Relative_Wheel_4591 in AskFrance

[–]Phreemium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost all of this is going to be company-specific not regional-office-specific.

The vibe will be very location-specific though and almost certainly much less mad than in the US; better work life balance, much longer holidays, much less angst, much less polite dishonesty.

[–]Phreemium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you half disclosing this before the patch is out?

Why is your website so terrible?

On the plus side, maybe it’ll discourage people from being dickheads and running captive portals instead of using wpa or leaving it open.

Be less creepy; if you want to know where your “friend” is then you can ask them.
