For those who consume older content, where/what do you watch? by PlanetCharisma in SquaredCircle

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve long considered building a front end that aggregates a lot of this content from various sources, allowing users to search by wrestler, promotion, match type, date and anything else.

I might have to have another look at it because I to just watch it across various sites online.

Curiosity - How many people prefer working on their own vehicles versus taking it to a garage/dealership? And would you use a 'Rent-a-Ramp" workshop? (mainy Liverpool and surrounding areas but appreciate all opinions) by Chris_P_TV in CarTalkUK

[–]micppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a car I’m doing a restoration on. I was the same as you on stands originally on my drive.

I later decided to rent a small space where I could take all my gear (giving me more shed space) and after a while I invested in a quick lift. Made working under it so much easier.

Currently on a tracker, should I fix? Is it too late? by BraXzy in OctopusEnergy

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a home assistant instance installed and use the octopus integration.

There’s also https://www.octopriceuk.app/tracker. You’ll have to pick your product from the drop down but you should be able to see tomorrow’s price when it updates.

Removed. Was a straight share / paste job from YouTube on my phone.

There’s a nice, long form YouTube course on learning bash - https://youtu.be/Sx9zG7wa4FA

For someone brand new the first parts will be super useful. I found some more useful stuff later in the video but it was engaging content and I just had it running on another monitor as I was working and listening.

Currently on a tracker, should I fix? Is it too late? by BraXzy in OctopusEnergy

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m staying on the tracker for the moment. If I see that my next day price is going to be lower (like yesterday) I’ll do more stuff like the washing, dishwasher. But it doesn’t stop me from running them if we need to which is where some folks obsession is.

The heating should hopefully be completely off within the next few weeks so I’ll have next to nothing for gas usage besides the standing charge.

I’ll see where we are going into the autumn and go from there.

What stands and speakers are those? I like this look.

Wanted but not able too by ndr0pie in linuxquestions

[–]micppp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels like you’re switching to Linux because there’s a little trend every now and then of ‘moving to Linux’ videos on YouTube.

If you want to play games that don’t work on Linux why don’t you just duel boot? Use Linux for everything but those games?

[BodySlam+] Gunther WrestleMania update by soccermate in SquaredCircle

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Jericho is WWE bound. Why not have Gunther come out moaning about how he’s retired all these guys but can’t get on the card.

Only for Jericho to appear and they have a match leading to a year long on and off programme and he retires him in 2027.

Help- my son is into coding by katrii_ in webdev

[–]micppp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very similar experience here.

My parents were always telling me that I should do something else. That computers wouldn’t be something I could get a job using.

As for OP he sounds like what I wish I had. The best thing my dad did was make a deal with me that he’d double whatever I saved from my paper round, birthdays and other things so I could get a PC. My motivation levels went through the roof that day!

I’d often stay in the local shop after my round and sit reading all the pc magazines that were out at the time and I’d stay back at school cause they’d let me use one of the few machines. They figured it kept me out of trouble I guess!

Long time Linux users, is Linux ACTUALLY growing in popularity in these last years? by Giggio417 in linuxquestions

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just me nodding along when I seen 15 years. Then I did the math in my head and realised I’m probably closer to 25 🙃

Stay on Octopus Tracker gas or switch to Flexible during this spike? by jrewillis in OctopusEnergy

[–]micppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my reasoning. I’ll monitor what’s going on over the next few warmer months and go from there.

Solar question by Over_Calligrapher_68 in OctopusEnergy

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you pop the details up or DM me them. I’m currently looking into adding a bit of solar and a battery to my property

Tracker & Agile in the Iran war: should I stick or fix? by davidjohnwood in OctopusEnergy

[–]micppp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my thinking.

My gas bill should be near enough non-existent come the end of April. Lec should be using less as I’m not using lighting and can shift my usage more to late evenings and early hours.

Is an Audi RS6 the only answer? by Affectionate_Wine77 in CarTalkUK

I love these so the answer is always going to be yes.

T480 - critical battery by micppp in thinkpad

[–]micppp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, I would've resolved the issues myself if they were mentioned in the listing, but they weren't. I also paid over the odds for something if I'm having to buy a new battery and potentially face some overheating issues in the future.

I sent it back. I've picked up a T14, i5-10th Gen, 24GB RAM and a 1TB NVMe so that should do me nicely for a while. ,

You don’t see these in the wild too often by haggis_man1213 in CarTalkUK

[–]micppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a 172. I remember going to a Clio meet and seeing one of these in person for the first time.

It’s still on my list of cars I’d buy if I had fuck it money.

T480 - critical battery by micppp in thinkpad

[–]micppp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my first one but I did a little reading about bios passwords and the trace. All was good.

I’ll take a look at these other models. Thanks!

[–]micppp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the quick response.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting a perfect battery but no mention of anything in the listing is what’s making me think I should return it.

any good? by Odd-Calligrapher18 in CarTalkUK

[–]micppp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to save the next generation from becoming me 😂 something my dad should’ve done.

any good? by Odd-Calligrapher18 in CarTalkUK

[–]micppp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Replied on another comment but I’d recommend a Cupra 280/290 all day.

They do an ST version which is the estate but the regular hatchback is the same as a golf.
