  • Coastal road swept away into the sea in Devon

    Jump

  • That's a natural spit of land (there is another technical term if it has land at both ends I think?). It was there, and flat, so they built the road on it. It wasn't built for the road. (....probably)

  • AMD's Zen 6 will adopt Intel's FRED to modernize x86 interrupt handling

    Jump

  • Anyone have any idea what sort of % improvements we are looking at here?

  • I'm foss plus steam

    Jump

  • Uh, I have bad news on where sausages come from....

  • Winter Olympics 2026: key Cortina cable car will not be ready, letter claims

    Jump

  • They managed to build a brand new telecabine in Selva in under 6 months when a landslide took out the old one. (Same ski area)

    Seems to be cutting it tight though.

  • Palacio de Pena as seen from the Moorish Castle, Sintra, Portugal

    Jump

  • It's an amazing castle, but it needs some work. None of the info boards were readable, and the website their QR codes pointed at was dead.

    They also had a cafe/toilets that was marked on the maps, but looked like it had been closed for ages.

  • Doing Gigabit Ethernet Over My British Phone Wires – The HFT Guy

    Jump

  • I thought the aluminium was fine conductivity wise, the problem is that it oxidises and becomes brittle.

    Every time a BT man went into the box, it was russian roulette as to whose internet would get broken.

  • I walked outside and owls were hooting. Why do they hoot?

    Jump

  • If they are twit-twoo owls, listen to where the sounds come from, it will be from a pair, with one going twit and the other going too.

  • What are some alternatives to US bonds, stocks and ETFs?

    Jump

  • For some detail:

    Flagging this fund manager for actually green funds: https://www.edentreeim.com/ most "green energy" funds just had oil in them, these guys actually do it properly. (I just learnt they are related to the Church of England though, so for any "moral" investing, assume that to be the morals of the CoE)

    Jupiter: https://www.jupiteram.com/uk/en/individual/ is a large UK asset manager that should have a decent range of funds if your broker has them. I have their strategic bond fund as well as some of their Asian funds.

    Otherwise, look at picking up an array of non US index funds.

  • What are some alternatives to US bonds, stocks and ETFs?

    Jump

  • As always, it depends on where you are, what your risk appetite is and who your broker is. I advise moving a way from a US based broker if you are using one, they will have a heavy US focus.

    Look for funds/indexes managed outside of the US. Look at what is in funds, most brokers/apps should give you at least the top 10 holdings, see if they line up with your expectations.

    IMO, look at value stocks/funds currently rather than growth. Aim for dividends and stability until we know where global politics is heading.

    Personally, I am slowly selling my world index holdings (mostly US tech by value) and most US shares. I'm putting it into renewable energy (check the fund isn't just buying oil majors) and a strategic bond fund (I want to buy a house next year, so want stability)

  • Wanderer - federated trail database (komoot etc)

    Jump

  • There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.

  • How much is your monthly average mobile/phone data usage?

    Jump

  • This is the cheapest I could find that wasn't dodgy in some way.

    Previously I was pay as you go at 1p/mb on a different supplier, but that got discontinued.

  • How much is your monthly average mobile/phone data usage?

    Jump

  • UK:

    £5/m contract for 5GB data. Only run out once when traveling.

    Looking back, I normally use about 2gb of data and 30gb of WiFi a month on my phone. Most stuff is done on my PC or laptop.

  • What do you wish you'd have known before you started your hobby(s)?

    Jump

  • I just do miniature painting, so it's the really tiny detail brushes, keep ruining the tips trying to get into little corners.

    Might have a look at the brush restorer.

  • What do you wish you'd have known before you started your hobby(s)?

    Jump

  • What the consumables are. As a noob, you don't look at a metal bike cassette and think "that's going to wear out". Or at a metal 3d printer nozzle. Or at paint brushes (I keep ruining expensive ones! 😭).

  • Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android

  • Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android

    Jump

  • How is the file sync integration? Even some of the commercial products have shocking implementations.

    Does it support shadow copies of files?

  • Germany, other NATO allies sending troops to Greenland amid Trump threats

    Jump

  • Wasn't it one of the Nordics that 'sunk' an American carried in drills a while back?

  • Companies with TLDs named after them is the best example of how ridiculously big those companies are.

    Jump

  • It's not that they are gigantic companies, it's that they are big companies with lots of techies. Other organisations can have them as well.

    The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) has it's own TLD for example. their Mastodon account uses it: https://social.bbc/

  • What did you get for Christmas?

    Jump

  • 2021 - annonced then at least, didn't complete until later I think.

    They sell some spare parts, but no longer for my heaset. They even had the parts in stock!
