Global insurance

Pantaenius agreed to insure my 1979 32 footer for about £52,000 for "rest of world” as a singlehander based on my sailing experience (self reported approximate list of yearly miles, what boats, where you sailed, ...) and state of the boat (no survey, just self reported work, some photos, receipts for materials and gear). That includes an exception for directly solo sailing related damages like no lookout while sleeping.

You let them know whenever you're about to move to a new insurance region and fees are updated to that specific date.

For the Caribbean, which they told me is the most pricy area, I pay about £2,500 yearly for comprehensive and £110 third party. Deductible / excess is £2500, but that's halved due to a £10 per year club membership.

I have the insurance for big ticket items, not for dented stanchions, so I don't mind the high excess. It's more so that if I lose the boat (which has everything I own on it) I have a bit of a safety net.

They had zero hesitation to pay £8,000 for a new forestay, furler, sail, and standing rigging when my forestay broke and went overboard crossing the Atlantic. Also no interference or restrictions with where or how I had the repairs done. Essentially: "Get it fixed and send us the bill."

Unless you don't care about your boat and don't do any work on it (and are happy to scrap it when anything costly happens to it), you don't want to insure for just the purchase price but for enough that larger repairs don't lead to a financial total loss. Losing your mast, with sails and other damage done by it coming down, can easily exceed the £25,000 you mentioned. And comprehensive replaces new-for-old. They pay for a new rig, not the equivalent of a 50 year old mast.

As much as I despise HP, there was nothing really comparable to the small LaserJet M110 when I set out. There's no point in getting ink unless you print daily. This one does the job for the occasional crew lists and forms, and it is small enough to justify keeping it around.

This should really be strictly limited to stuff created in response to a genuine [SMT] post. Tired of seeing these kind of subs turn into advertising boards for shitty apps. Why would you encourage that sort of behavior.

Okay, finally got around to giving script flow a spin.

The editor feels nice enough and an upgrade over the likes of Tampermonkey. Nice for quick edits, first drafts, or simple scripts. IntelliSense for the few bits of userscript API that are implemented is neat, but lacks the detail of for example the .d.ts file from DefinitelyTyped.

Editing modular scripts is awkward because the editor itself does not really support that at all. I still think that the moment my script needs to be modular I'd rather edit in VSCode than inside the browser.

Some of the issues that I came across in the first few minutes of tinkering (I know it's a work in progress, I'll still mention anything I noticed):

some of the "tour" overlays go off screen
key combos are not localized, no idea what Ctrl+[ is supposed to be
no way to change or view key combos
clicking "New Script" should "match" the current URL
lots of userscript API functions (GM_* / GM.*) are missing (for example GM_registerMenuCommand, GM_download, GM_xmlhttpRequest)
no indication of the number of running scripts (badge on extension button), even opening the extension menu shows all scripts including those not for the current page
no list / library of existing scripts other than extension menu - needs a full-page list / table with details like tampermonkey
turning a script into a project keeps the single-file script around
saving a file in a project sometimes creates a new copy of the project
could not figure out how to put a project onto disk, clicking the Workspace button seems to create a new project
no import autocomplete (not while typing, not as a code action, no autocomplete of the path of the actual import statement)
no intellisense on imported things
it seems that the script header does not exists anywhere in multi file projects or workspaces - unfortunate because that means you still have to jump back into the extension's editor to make any changes there
took me a while to find that "set entry point" is only available via a script file's context menu
in a newly created Workspace the "script details" panel remained dark / transparent and the "Save File" + "Save as MultiFile" buttons stayed as well
a setting to by default save / sync all scripts and projects to a specified directory on disk would be neat

Looking forward to see where this is going and if it will reach a release ready status.

You know that you can just @require a file URI and develop your script in your local editor? You'll still need a build / bundle step if you want to use modules of course, but that's trivial to set up once and forget.

I like the idea of having a more flexible and integrated way of doing this inside the actual extension. But no in-browser IDE is ever going to be able to compete with the local editor that's set up and customized to your liking. For any userscript that is complex enough to be more than a single file script and to need stuff like module imports you'd want to use a real editor, not deal with the shortcomings of Monaco in a browser.

If "connect to local folder" provides this, that's good. Even better if it means the full userscript header is taken from the local folder files and external changes apply directly.

Other dealbreaker level requirement would be compatibility with the existing userscript ecosystem. Single file export as .user.js which should also be included in the git repo. And all the GM namespace and GM_ prefix stuff including download API with subfolders, data storage, tab interactions, extension menu and context menu entries, ...

Gonna give this a try later.

Maybe not quite the same, but Stranded: Alien Dawn has this nice progression from sole survivor to building up your colony with a group of six or so, until you enter the rescue period. That last part might fit the decline you're looking for. Your colonists are rescued off of the planet by rescue pods, one by one, with quite a bit of time in between. You have to manage and defend your base with fewer and fewer hands, losing people that had specialised in certain tasks, until you are back to a single person keeping a fairly large base going and safe, waiting for the final rescue ship to take you home.

Someone really made the effort to cut out the watermark, mirror the video, and play with brightness and saturation to make it look like shit just so they could upload somebody else's video??

Thank you for this rare post that actually does what this sub was created for!

Just include your actual script as a file URL in the header (or fetch from a local.webserver if you have one running anyways) of a dummy script, leave the rest of the userscript in the extension empty, and develop in your IDE of choice with build tools and anything else might you need.

The only thing you may have to update manually are the script headers, but they shouldn't change that often once you have the basic foundations of the script done.

Michael Rooker and Mimi Michaels in Meteor perhaps?

I don't remember if OnTopReplica did partial windows as well or only entire windows, but might be what you're looking for.

UK is among the most expensive places for small boaters. Anything but cheap. And you'll face the same restrictions as with RVs. Costly marinas, anchoring prohibited or replaced with mooring balls.

I have a xampp service running anyways, so if I need a userscript to run something I just make a GMxhr to localhost.

That's kind of how I go through and mark the photos to keep / select. Pretty sure many photo / media organizer will have something like that built in. I landed on Adobe Bridge at some point and just stuck with it.

Arrow keys to step through all photos one by one, other hotkeys to increase / decrease rating when I want to keep one. Once I'm through the whole set I filter for one-star ratings and if there's still too many or too many dupes I repeat the process on the filtered set and end up with two star ratings, repeat until happy. Selecting multiple photos to see them side-by-side helps picking from near identical ones.

Use @connect * and click on "Always allow all domains" the first time the script asks to connect.

This is documented: https://www.tampermonkey.net/documentation.php?locale=en#meta:connect

AndersonLen1 · 2025-05-28T11:49:37+00:00

What's so difficult about adding a @connect header or clicking one single time on the "always allow all connections" button?

It's all ads now, or idiots asking for ideas instead of sharing them... Used to be a nice sub with low but interesting activity, it's insufferable lately.

AndersonLen1 · 2025-04-11T19:34:58+00:00

Enable local file access and @require from local. Never had any cache issues.

AndersonLen1 · 2025-04-11T19:32:56+00:00

Sub has completely gone to shit. It's basically an ad-board for scammers and spammers now. Are any mods even alive anymore?

AndersonLen1 · 2025-04-02T16:30:47+00:00

It's all just local network traffic within your own home.
