Haha yeah a full english is not something you want every day, unless you want to die at 30 with arteries full of sausages. Most places I've been, breakfast seems to be a bit of an after-thought, and lunch is the main event. A lot of pl

The full english breakfast is our gift to the world. Honestly it's one of the only things I'm vaguely proud of - most countries fail utterly at breakfast, despite their other meals by far defeating ours (Japan, why do you eat natt

Yeah that's all fine and dandy, but the docker default is to bind to 0.0.0.0, so it really should be taken into account. I honestly would have to go and look up the flags needed to change the bind address, but I know the port ones (as

When running inside a docker container this won’t be much use though as the container handles the port forwarding. It would be a much better default to ensure authentication by default, considering how widespread exploiting of this has beco

In the UK we have an option for this but it’s specific to our country: https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/apps/os-maps/ The app basically provides the same maps as they do in paper form, which shows extreme levels

Exactly my setup. I use my iPad quite happily for programming on those odd days by just remoting into my desktop. I hate setting up multiple dev environments anyway so I consider this a plus. It works totally fine. Less annoying than I find

I've seen this opinion quite a lot recently, and I don't really understand - why do you want the iPad to be a Mac? For me the iPad Pro is a great creative device that is surprisingly capable in a variety of other ways. I use mine

I now use a piece of software called Frigate, alongside Home Assistant, to do this. It works extremely well, surprisingly. I can watch clips and live streams via the Home Assistant apps on my phone, and for outside the house I have a Wiregu

What a dude. I too was forced to study that book in school and if my teacher would have let me do anything else they would have had my lifetime loyalty. I hate that book.

Adguard on iPhone works alright, hooks into the Safari blocker API. It's not as effective as a proper blocker on Android but it does improve the experience. I also run my iOS devices over Wireguard when out and about to my home network

I think the competition from local retailers is important in this. I’ve bought books from other Japanese stores, like CDJapan, and the packaging is excellent. In the UK all retailers seem to ship books poorly now. Waterstones is no better t

Delivering in a Hokkaido winter sounds like an epic undertaking considering the amount of snow.

I ordered from Amazon Japan for the first time last week and the delivery speed was excellent. I would say the packaging was sub-par compared to other Japanese retailers though. CDJapan is just as fast and ships me books in better condition

For cameras in the UK I usually buy from WEX instead, who have excellent customer service and specifically sell camera equipment. I quite like Scan for computer components too. But for general “stuff” or tech, Amazon are so much better than

I built a really weirdly specific caching helper for Rails: https://gitlab.com/robotmay/chunky_cache By default Rails issues a cache network request per call with the built-in view fragment cache helpers. It does allow

The NHS isn't incompetent, at least here in Wales. It has however been hobbled by years of cuts and lack of investment by successive conservative governments in England. Here the government continue to invest in it and everyone I know

I think luck is the true national skill of the UK. We are a nation of gamblers and risk-takers, and often that tends to lead us down paths that make no or little sense, but _sometimes_ we get really, really lucky.

Weirdly, the UK is actually pretty sensible when it comes to crypto taxation, which I note only because normally I'd expect us to have the daftest system in the world. Here you are taxed only using Capital Gains Tax (20%, after the fir

Yeah it's a bit of a shame that there's not more investment into tech startups here. Bristol seems to attract much more of that scene. Swansea seems to have more than Cardiff, possibly because it's slightly further from Brist

Yeah I think it's less the mines themselves and more having guaranteed employment, and the camaraderie of working together in such a way. There aren't many professions that employ entire towns. You are right though, in that the at

It's something I never understood until I moved to Wales, and now I do understand, and I think it's one of the most admirable characteristics of the people here. You can go out in the valleys right now and ask someone, ~40 years a

Farmers in Wales are pretty canny and they have some unique advantages due to the hillyness. Leasing out land for mobile towers is one option, as someone said above, but I've also seen them group together to build small hydro power ins

His land is probably somewhat valuable compared to the local area, but West Wales is rural and the land is steep and hilly - it is really only good for raising sheep. And he's had it his whole life, so that value is meaningless to him.

It'll start with his neighbours and friends helping out, and maybe eventually he'll have to scale down and be looked after by carers himself. But there's an equal chance he'll die happy on his farm - I've seen farme

Elixir gives me that feeling of fun I had when first learning Ruby, which is a very rare thing and something I cherish. I still love Ruby, but now I love Elixir too :) The two languages seem to share a common idea, of making it enjoyable, r

The FFXIV global cooldown is a bit weird in that it feels super slow until about lv50, where suddenly it doesn't feel slow enough. It's not the same for every class but using non-GCD abilities in between the cooldown becomes the p

FFXIV is the one that finally hooked me. It improves on WoW in a lot of areas. The learning curve is a bit steep and the hell that is mogstation are points against it, but I've been very much enjoying it.

I would definitely recommend skipping any current large WD drives for home use. < 6TB are SMR and problematic in a NAS, and 6TB+ have a very irritating noise that no-one seems to be able to diagnose (sounds like a scanner when idle). I b
