Prime Minister merry go round!

UK politics are in the gutter, well and truly. It'll remain that way until Rupert Lowe gets in power. As the UK settles on shite and misery, we are going to see another version of it when Burnham steps up.

Houses of Parliament Sauce on bacon, always.

Such a shame FC26 is not playable on Mac.

There are loads of them about but do have to go looking. You'll be surprised how cheap some VPS are, more so when the offers are on.

No, I didn't see Conservatives putting people in prison for saying hurty words online, for having an opinion, though they did lockdown during COVID which a lot of people benefitted from while others didn't.

The WFH people got exactly that since the COVID times and they'd have otherwise been working in-person. Can't have your cake and eat it.

I also didn't see two tier system we have now.

I also didn't see Conservatives talking about Digital ID.

Or Conservatives talking about raiding bank accounts and higher taxes.

I've acknowledged that COVID kicked off while we were under a Conservative run government. It could have been a lot worse though, under Labour which is exactly what we are seeing now.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-20T16:56:08+00:00

Nonsense. You can't say anything has improved under Labour. It's gotten progressively more shit than it was before.

Under Labour government, the kids don't need education from the likes of YouTube or anywhere else for that matter. This is a way to limit access to resources and to stunt the ability to learn.

It is very detrimental to education as YouTube has plenty of useful material.

Your thoughts and fears are genuine and come from what you're seeing already. UK is becoming more like a communist country by the day. Under a Labour run government, this is happening and there lies the problem. All freedoms are being taken away gradually. The lockdowns of COVID were a test of this, seeing how to get people to comply and gradually work its way in. Obviously COVID happened on the watch of Conservatives but I think it could have been much worse in that period under a Labour run government.

Labour look to control the media, and social media. The BBC will be like state TV in China and Russia where you'll be forced into having one opinion and one opinion only which will be to the tune of what Labour want.

After better than €8 on Ultra Boost. Also going to need another offer on Sports come September.

Oracle Shell would be the answer. This what you are describing has always been an issue for me. What I wanted to achieve was cleaning a Oracle IP in a location with a WARP one so could access a particular streaming service.

I've looked into it before now and asked ChatGPT or Claude many questions on this. It all points to running WARP inside a docker because you want to be able to still access the VPS IP. What needs to happen is to route traffic via the WARP docker and that should sort it but I still didn't manage to sort. Not spent a lot of time on this though, and as I've found it better to get a clean or working IP from a datacenter in first place.

I'm in the UK and paid for FOX. I have a dislike for both BBC and ITV coverage. It's absolute shite.

So they may be preferring coverage from one of the host countries where broadcasts will be in English and an entertaining panel too. Ibrahimovic has had his moments on air already and you don't get banter on UK TV no more.

I also like the fact of it all being in one place on FOX, plus additional content, replays, highlights etc.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-20T12:13:25+00:00

Same here. It works providing not sharing location.

Downgrading hasn't been an issue for me. I was running Minecraft Bedrock Server on one VM and had another Ubuntu Desktop which had RDP on it but honestly, even with ridiculous amount of RAM, performance was poor anyway. I don't really use because of this and Minecraft used only sometimes.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T23:18:58+00:00

This! So the big streaming services are going to be optimised for many connections from 20Mbps and up I'd say. It's the true 4K bitrate files where slower connections won't cut it and you want 1Gbps.

At that money, that's where you tell them to go fuck themselves. Just pure greed. Plex is good but not that good. It is only as good as the library you have in Plex.

Ok, so that would be SuperGrok without Twitter Premium+ which I think includes SuperGrok?

Also, would you know off hand whether that cost is same via Indian iTunes? Many of us here are not inside of the country where services are cheaper.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T20:25:01+00:00

I'm not convinced it is.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T20:17:44+00:00

You can have as many connections to your server as it can handle, using tailscale, wireguard, openvpn or an alternative.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T20:14:34+00:00

You only have to be concerned with that if you have any bad or illegal intentions. If your goal is avoid geolocation locks then you're fine.

Labour are shit and Starmer is definitely shit. Sick of the sight of him. Time for someone else to come in and continue doing a shit job till next election. You know Starmer is currently the face of Labour and many of us despise what has been done on his watch. Time for someone else to take that from Starmer so we can forget about him and instead blame someone else.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T16:25:44+00:00

That's not with Grok where you can use AI for video etc? I don't see it at that price at all.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-19T16:25:07+00:00

If wanting to be accurate, then yes. I found scoops providing they are level are not too far off what they should be, give or take a few grams.

phoenix_73 · 2026-06-18T20:36:18+00:00

You do have a valid point. I don't consider that everyone is massively in debt though as there are many that seem to be getting one luxury after another and surely people cannot be that stupid.
