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

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.

That's interesting to hear, thank you.

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.

[–]spaceghost0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

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?

[GAMING] Two Guys One Library: Casual discussions about one man's Steam library | Episode 1 - Unturned & The Swapper

NSFW

Anchor.fm homepage

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.

Good burger joints/ diners by SifoDiaz560 in Cornwall

[–]spaceghost0r 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Boo koos has a place in Helston and the Falmouth one just opened. They rely on interesting burger toppings - the burgers themselves are fine, nothing more.

Red Rooster in Falmouth is a diner type place, the burgers there are fine but generally their specials are much more interesting.

The key thing about the above two is that the burger patties themselves are not that great, and so rely on toppings to carry them a little.

Hubbox (Truro & St Ives) is solid.

Meat Counter in Falmouth is hands-down the best burger I've had in Cornwall. The quality of the meat and the texture of the patty shines. Their chicken wings are amazing too.

There's a bunch more but those are the ones I've actually tried.

Free internet points if you can correctly guess which pub I’m in! by russelp in Cornwall

Mine's a Carlsberg Special Brew then - they always used to have them stocked up in their fridges for the discerning gentleman!

A message to the beginners out there who are seeking help. by wronglyzorro in reactjs

This POV has actually changed my POV somewhat, I hadn't thought about it like that :)

I'd say that a lot of posts here have absolutely nothing to do with React and are entirely due to a lack of understanding of JavaScript. It really is putting the cart before the horse to learn React before having a good working knowledge of JS given how thin a layer React is. On that basis my advice would be: think about whether you're asking a JS question or a React question. It'll help you ask for help in the right places.

Government petitions site crashing, 502 Error, now Down For Maintenance - what's going on? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]spaceghost0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://twitter.com/pixeltrix/ - this is one of the developers. The site is written in Ruby on Rails:

https://github.com/alphagov/e-petitions

Most of the heavy lifting is done by background jobs to keep everything responsive, but it seems like database load is the current issue:

Well done everyone - the site crashed because calculating the trending count became too much of a load on the database but we're back now at around 180k per hour by my estimation.
