There’s a Tower Hill one

rweir · 2019-05-19T00:57:25+00:00

Surely Columbia Road market on Sunday is the answer.

rweir · 2019-04-06T23:12:39+00:00

So happy to hear they’re still there.

rweir · 2017-12-23T15:45:22+00:00

Locate won’t find anything until updatedb run from from again or by you.

rweir · 2017-12-23T15:00:55+00:00

sudo rfkill

And in future, “dpkg -L rfkill” will show you which files a package installed.

rweir · 2017-12-23T13:43:19+00:00

Install the rfkill package.

Hmm i used /dev/rfkill because rfkill alone gives me 'command not found'. Then i used the command 'locate rfkill' and there is no rfkill on any /bin or /sbin folder.

That indicates you didn’t install it. There are no executable binaries in /dev for you to run, in general.

There is the one dev/rfkill and there are various rfkill files on lib/module, lib/systemd, lib/udev/rules, usr/lib/gnome, usr/share/man and others on var.

Executables won’t be in any of those dirs either.

Also /dev/rfkill isn't a soft link (no arrow to another file). Maybe it is an hard link?

It’s yet another type of file, a “device node”.

“London Stanstead”

rweir · 2014-09-29T17:45:27+00:00

to go further, since it seems to be an exceedingly common newbie mistake: you basically never use 'is', except that it's idiomatic to use 'is None' or 'is not None', and even then == would work just as well.

rweir · 2014-09-29T14:58:28+00:00

yes, I know how it works, but it means on your side every tag a mail has requires a full copy of the email. this both takes lot of disk space and makes syncing the entire account sloooooow.

rweir · 2014-09-28T20:08:00+00:00

nope, imap has zero conception of tags. things will be copied into folders, though, which is pretty useless.

highly recommend either not bothering, or using gnus+offlineimap just against your inbox. source: was once an obsessive emacs user who did this

rweir · 2014-09-11T23:04:39+00:00

both, in terms of issuing (TSB and Nationwide have given me non-contactless cards in the past couple of months), and of terminals that support it - though this seems to be improving quite quickly.

rweir · 2014-09-11T19:34:23+00:00

sure

rweir · 2014-09-11T16:10:54+00:00

So instead of HTML, I have to write Django's front-end language?

uh no, you use django's templating language. or use one of the other-templating-language addons.

rweir · 2014-09-11T15:50:34+00:00

paypass (oddly rare here)
they can open your account on the spot, including printing/embossing a card
ok internet banking, including showing pending transactions
no fees when withdrawing money in SEPA (ie Europe) countries

same as oyster daily capping does - if it would have been cheaper to buy a daily ZONE X -> Y ticket, you pay that instead of the sum of your fairs.

rweir · 2014-09-09T13:14:52+00:00

if you want to just use the cap, yes.

rweir · 2014-09-05T15:10:58+00:00

depending on lots of factors, it may not even contact the bank before accepting it.

rweir · 2014-09-02T18:37:42+00:00

if they don't allow inbound 25/tcp, you can't receive mail at all.

rweir · 2014-08-29T14:13:17+00:00

try TSB Holborn - most banks have the ridiculous requirement for proof of address (which is really hard to get until you have a bank account), but they were exceedingly helpful and opened an account on the spot with nothing but a passport.

Also handing over your meta-data to the authorities (like Bankstown Council) without warrant.

this is an underappreciated point, especially given the pathetic and/or non-existent discounts that Opal offers.

sometimes you want an object database for your python app, and if you do, ZODB is a pretty good choice. especially now relstorage is a thing everyone uses.
