  • Reeves vows to end the use of hotels to house asylum seekers by next election

    Jump

  • Once you can't afford your homes because of the tax and other new charges together with the rising prices, hotels won't be necessary.

  • Do you believe that most people act according to their own self-interest? Is acting only according to your self-interest a good strategy in life?

  • The idea that Woke changed the world to be kinder is ridiculous funny. Most people seem to want immediate self gratification and to make money by posting on social media virtue signalling.

    I think we have to go back to real poverty to be altruistic eg. the world wars, 1930s recession. A person with literally nothing will give you half of their life savings, even if that's the change that they have in their pockets, to help you make a phone call.

  • ‘Ticking timebomb’: sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystems – study

    Jump

  • That'll be helped by our lovely UK water companies - looking at you Thames Water, Welsh Water, Yorkshire Water, Anglian Water ... - emptying human shit into the waterways rather than processing it as they paid by consumers to do.

    Shit is usually a mildly acidic.

    They get fined, then try to sell themselves to investors who want full immunity. Regulator just shrugs.

  • The only effective way is to find a spouse or partner who actually cares about you.

    (now single) Old fart here.

    Otherwise this is my current one (they're all about 4/10 IMHO): Exfoliating Back Scrubber for... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C1YZDFFM or something similar

  • Ahoy, what's the most unhinged wierd shower curtain I can put in a shower.

    Jump
    1. Take a normal shower curtain and have at it with a long kitchen knife. The knife cuts won't let very much water through so it will still be effective as a shower curtain.
    2. Take a stray can of red paint and spray be a few two or three long strokes across it.
    3. Only attach the rings of one end to the shower rail up to one half at most. Break the remaining rings and leave them on the bathroom floor.

  • The major issue is to complain to/about your provider, not mess around with the workaround solutions.

    That said once you have the list of packages, you can download them on your phone and seamlessly transfer them to your pc with Syncthing.

    Have a look at dnf-automatic to do downloads only. I'm not sure how many retries it allows.

    There is also the option of limiting your bandwidth on the PC so that it doesn't choke.

    Ultimately the ISP has to provide a working service.

  • Those might be the rules, but I was a child when the rules last actually applied or were applied.

    No-one with any ability as a politician will go anywhere near politics this century. And when I say ability I mean moral compass.

  • Which news sources do you actually trust?

    Jump

  • None. When was the last time you saw an actual headline not click-bait?

    News is not about issues anymore - since the advent of 24 hr TV last century - It's about filling time until the next exposé about Meghan frigging Markle, or some influencer of zero repute who overdosed.

  • Thanks Water immediately raise prices to cover it. Ditto Anglian Water.

    Nationalise it, accounting for the infrastructure deficit rerouted to dividends. De-gravy train it.

  • I coded an app over 3 months that might be useful for some people. What are the next steps?

  • I applaud this program, exactly what we've all been looking for.

    Looks like many of the comments identifying it have been removed.

  • ZFS or LUKS/btrfs for my use case

    Jump

  • (half replying to other comments as well as yours)

    If you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It's in couched language but reasonably clear. I don't think you're thinking of using those (RAID56) but don't.

    Never had any btrfs problems that weren't self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs's history (years ago, 4.13 or maybe 3.13). I've used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.

    Haven't tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM (which is fine if slow at the time), albeit a bit more computationally intensive.

  • Would the first person to find a politician who isn't bent, please turn out the lights there.

    Parliament is redundant.
