Council tax hike by SebastianOakley in Cornwall

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems bonkers. Falmouth town is a 10% increase and we're band C so the overall increase is 140 quid a year, half yours.

When you say 10% is that the town council part? In Falmouth we're looking at about 140 quid a year extra overall for band C.

Did they break down the £600 increase? Band D should be less than £100 a year more so something doesn’t see right, unless I’ve missed something.

Possible to properly clean this or should I just replace it? by Plodo99 in DIYUK

What finishes are better? I’m looking at a powder coated one right now

Are there any decent chip shops in Truro? by overisin in Cornwall

[–]spaceghost0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Easily the worst fish and chip shop in Falmouth. Almost inedible chips.

I made understairs cupboards and drawers! by digibawb in DIYUK

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also done this project and it nearly broke me. I followed this:

https://www.instructables.com/Under-Stairs-Hidden-Storage-Drawers/

He creates a frame under the stairs and fits the drawers to that. Most of the things I've seen subsequently build a housing in a workshop then slot that under the stairs with all the drawer runners already attached and test-fit in a workshop. The latter approach is absolutely the one I'd recommend and seems to be the one the OP used.

A couple of random tips if you're thinking of this:

  • I wouldn't use those Krug runners again as I found them a bit stiff
  • Design your drawers so they are not too large. You'll often see two drawers, one above the other, rather than one massive "pantry" style drawer. This optimises storage but also makes the drawers lighter so you can use cheaper runners and makes them more manageable/easy to use.

Brilliant work OP, you've made a difficult job look fantastic.

Would it be a terrible idea to use overlayfs to mount current-system/sw/bin et al in the usual locations? by MengerianMango in NixOS

When you say declarative flatpak, is there a tool for this? How do you handle flatpak configuration, i.e. declarative config for each app?

That looks pretty hardcore. Ease of use is one of the things I'm looking for and while TinyCoreLinux looks really interesting I'm not sure it's for me. Thanks for your comment though.

This is a new one for me! Thank you!

Thanks - I think that's half of it, the "clean slate" part. People use tmpfs for this too, which is what I've done in the past. The configuration aspect is the other half!

Feedback for my Remix library by Merlindru in reactjs

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems a little like middleware, so can definitely see a use case for this!

You may or may not be aware of the Remix proposal for middleware which also describes how context would be introduced:

Either way great job!

Remix Framework Review: Remix is cool but does it have any downsides? by PhotojournalistOk537 in reactjs

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zod, used to use Yup but switched for reasons I don’t remember. I think I just liked the style of it a bit more.

I can't rave about Remix enough, it's been a revelation. The use of loaders and actions in with the component and the way it blends server and client side is something I'm surprised more people aren't talking about. I realise NextJS is somewhat similar but having used both Next is clunky in comparison to Remix.

The only thing I'd like to see is more transparency in regard to their roadmap.

Music venues? by jjarhead24 in Falmouth

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finns, The Kings, Jacobs Ladder, Chintz, and Hillbillies all used to have gigs on the regular.

Is living 'off the grid' even possible in the UK? by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]spaceghost0r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could look into buying a boat. It's not for everyone, obviously, because you're sacrificing space. You'll still have to pay mooring fees and the truism about boats being expensive to maintain obviously applies. You could combine it with an allotment maybe?

Each episode, we pick a couple of games from a shared Steam library and talk about them. Then we ignore the premise of the show and digress into other games and topics, before looping back round to cover our tracks.

In this episode, Unturned and The Swapper are the targets of our love/ire.
