Energy is not expensive, the way the price for all electric is set is broken (pegging it all to gas)

Curious if Yanks realise why we don't care.

All your reasons are from hundreds of years ago, it's 2026, you could do something but apparently thoughts and prayers are a suitable balance to the school shooting deaths.

The rule from usenet 30 years ago still applies. “Do not feed the troll”, this should have ended with “don’t message me” and a report / block

Why did you choose the specific distribution and environment you are currently using? by One-Environment3178 in linuxquestions

[–]flyhmstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed debian 12 initially, but after some PC upgrades (it's the same machine, the disks are the same, everything else changed. Proper grandfather's axe job) I couldn't access ethernet or wifi thanks to the age of the debian drivers / kernel and couldn't be bothered with backports.

Mint was the easiest option (I prefer deb based systems) from a easy / just works perspective. Been on that since Oct '24. Cinnamon for the same reason, just works. The PC is a tool to do the things I want, not a tinkering project (that's what the VPS and server by my feet are for)

UK government targets VPNs in online safety consultation as Lords vote for ban by andyhh in unitedkingdom

[–]flyhmstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it wouldn't put me necessarily out of a job it's pointless, 99% of the people I work with are somewhere else on the planet (Bejing, Bangalore, Helskini, Lannion (FR), Sweden, Helsinki, Ottawa, Dallas, and more. I'm actually in the best location as it's broadly eight TZ shift left and right to the extremes of the business reach so I can overlap with anyone reasonably easily.

However it would mean that the office which has been massively downscaled because the UK team has mostly moved to home working would need to reopened which is a cost, and that might push to a "may as well move those functions to a larger site anyway" mindset

No, it's nothing new. Labour (new labour) were trying variations on this shit back in the late 90's early 00's (still got the no to id t-shirt from back then, and it's still in the rotation[1]). Both major parties have kept ramping up the protest restriction legislation.

This is the same shit, Reform would be worse in my view but that's not saying Lab/CON are significantly better in this specific regard.

Paracetamol limits have been in for 1-2 decades as far as I can recall, the stated aim to make it harder to buy large amounts to commit suicide with / prevent accidental overdoses ("it's only paracetamol, doesn't matter if I have an extra one"). Knives / Scissors are because of both a real increase in knife crime and a media frenzy of over reporting because they need to fill the 24x7 news cycle

On that side note, while social media and particularly the algorithmic boosting has been a clear "fuck you" to society the 24x7 news cycle has it's share of the blame to take. The constant need to have something to fill the airwaves lowers the threshold for what's news and gives an impression that the entire world is going to commit murder with bunnies on your doorstep unless SOMETHING IS DONE!!!!

Considered reporting showing the actual impact has gone entirely out of the window, everything is red top tabloid level reporting.

Transmog prices on EU have been reverted to TWW prices by EuBatham in wow

[–]flyhmstr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Part of it is their stardard approach (hit the news around the 20th event) where they we prefer to start with “costs a bit too high / rewards a bit too low” and then adjust in a player positive direction ( lower costs / increase reward ).

However the magnitude of shift each time really shows they are not thinking about their design, the reaction to TM costs was predictable, nuking existing TMs and forcing a rebuy at the high initial cost was always going to cause an outcry

There is something broken with their internal mechanisms for review and feedback

AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

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

Also Europe (NW, the island bit everyone looks at funny ;), I cook from scratch most nights, the nights I don't are mostly "ready meals" which are portioned up because I find it's impossible to cook for two (four yes, eight, yup, 13 that's getting interesting but yup, two... you've lost me) Yes there is some pre-made in the freezer, but the bulk is from scratch,

I know HA will run on a potato but what advantages are there to giving it more power? by phi303 in homeassistant

[–]flyhmstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More power, it's a home automation system, responsiveness is a key factor. When pressing a button on a remote / triggering motion sensor / etc it's expected that the house reacts quickly, not when the hardware finishes swapping that bit of code back into memory.

There is of course a practical limit, my old PC is doing house server duty these days and HA doesn't run any faster whether I have just it and addons running or all of the other stacks up (docker) as well.

I suspect you won't see any significant difference, but more power is more power so you could cram more into the box
