100%. It irks when software has messages in the first person. The human-like TTS are very uncanny valley to me.

I needed voice over for a video recently and everyone is telling me to use AI, I tried dozens and they’ll all just off. Ended up getting a friend to record it. I don’t have a decent mic so my own recording sounded bad.

I just got a phone case that holds my debit card in the back and turned off NFC.

I had the same issue which is by I don’t self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I’d probably have issues but that seems unlikely.

Years ago now, they pushed an offer for lifetime subscription onto my server. I clicked it, went through to their website and bought it, paid, the subscription activated and worked.

The next day they emailed to say actually i wasn’t eligible for the offer, they cancelled it and refunded me and said it would actually cost $30 more.

I installed Jellyfin that same day, it was pretty buggy back then but was definitely the right decision.

I do this. I already had a cloud vps with a vpn on it for remote access so i figured i might as well set it up to route traffic as well.

Still get loads of sites blocking me

Bought a new dryer recently and ended paying more for one that didn’t have internet connectivity. It’s entire operation requires physical presence, why would i need ever need remote access. It’s just something else to go wrong.

Yeah there was a period about 15-20 years ago when they were good, I used to get working codes all the time.

I can’t remember the last time I got one that worked.

Agree with most of that. Immigration doesn’t need capping though. Firstly it’s not even 2% now, it’s not even 1%. Net migration in 2024 was 0.6%.

Taxing the profit of an individual pub seems like a great way to reward the big chains that hide their profits better.

My first job was about 200 people but there was a satellite office with 3 people. Similar story, someone left and they tried to replace him for the same salary. The job ad was for project manager/lead dev/office manager/customer support and user training.

They actually hired someone who latest 6 weeks

Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it’ll do it first time

10% of petrol is ethanol now. That’s what the E10 means, so I’d say it’s pretty massive

We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn’t need anything expensive before June. He’s has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It’s got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It’s a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

It’s not really an option for renters, tenants aren’t going to pay for solar panels on someone else’s house and landlords wouldn’t get any benefit.

I’d rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.

I was expecting this one.
