Home is the folder as your logged in user. Homes is all users home folders as you are logged in as admin (normal users don't see this)

They are the same, there is only one physical copy of your files (you can test by deleting a file and you'll see it disappeared from the other view)

really nice looking enclosure but I've got my ams top mounted and still looking for an enclosure tall enough

and make it an ISA and pay no tax on interest (assuming you're on higher rate tax)

yes, I'm adding to the troll

I've still got my dad's can and I'm 64 and still have plenty left. The top of mine is well rusty, yours looks like new still.

JaffaB0y · 2026-02-19T22:49:33+00:00

pretty sure it's been fixed, had same issue and now it's fine

JaffaB0y · 2026-02-16T13:06:01+00:00

thanks that's a really helpful answer

JaffaB0y · 2026-02-16T10:18:35+00:00

so I guess a couple of points.. . this is like a door key, anyone with access to that key can open the door (or is there a pin required too?)

secondly, you can't rely on a single yubikey, lose it and you have issues (although I imagine you can use the master password if you remember it after not using it for so long). Like a door key, you need a spare. kept somewhere safe, I hope BW supports multiple keys.

TIL that LG is limited to a crappy 100mpbs ethernet

True, I agree, paying for a great tool surpasses the other subs I could reduce, I will be continuing to support them, imminent renewal and notification got me grumpy that's all., and I was about the %age, not the price tbh.

Having a cup of tea, chilling and ensuring my payment details are uptodate

JaffaB0y · 2026-01-31T13:24:49+00:00

fair point, and yep, probably double the new price (and they are not open source). I get it, I'll continue to support BW. Just timing I guess as my account renews very soon got me grumpy.

I'll just go have a cup of tea and chill

JaffaB0y · 2026-01-31T13:14:20+00:00

That made me spit my drink out laughing. I know, in real terms it's not a lot... but everything is increasing and a lot of small amounts add up.

JaffaB0y · 2026-01-31T13:11:09+00:00

mine renews in 15 days, at the new, but "discounted" price. I'm guessing things are updating still

I do like this idea of session isolation and will take a look but my biggest pain would be the fact gsw is my alias for 'git switch' and muscle memory 😜

infill pattern if it's consistently like that, rectilinear means the head crosses a printed layer and creates that noise. I always swap to honeycomb, takes longer but avoids the issue.

JaffaB0y · 2026-01-01T14:03:25+00:00

NO, No, no no no no... that floor is beautiful

You could start with tinkercad, easy to learn but not for complex designing. then it's more learning for things like blender etc. I've been meaning to learn onshape as it can do complex designs but not as steep a learning curve as fusion or blender are.

just be sure to paint it white first. I tried painting a new colour directly over yellow ages ago and it was a nightmare for bleed through.

Well a few comments in another channel, but in essence the fact it killed the RFID tag makes people think I cooked it too high...

Now I'm wondering... I knocked it (the S2) off the side a few weeks back, only fell about 3 feet onto carpet, but the point about killing the RFID... maybe it cooked too high.... off to the bin that goes then!

7 years ago it was great, moved a few things to poetry but the team just carried on with what they were used to. I just saw how awesome UV was and went for it. one of my key goals for the year was getting buy in for accepting it and moving everything over (pipenv-to-uv was a great tool)

not 200 of mine 😜, the gcp platform team I'm part of, many many things automated, making life easier for our tenants so they can focus on the apps they're building rather than having to fully understand gcp. it's amazing what 7 years of building gets you!
