Scottish person here living in Scotland... My experience doesn't agree with what you posited. I know more people who add water and/or ice to their whisky here than don't. Some years ago I spoke with the master brewer of the G

Exactly. Installed that recently and been using it for a few weeks - it's great to self-host one's own search aggregator and I'm very impressed with the results.

Most populated areas of the world are also not suited to having everyone living in rural areas being herded together into an ultimately dystopian pod-life hellhole. The facts are that whoever is advocating for this have not thought past the

Most of the house building I've seen happening around where I live in Scotland, has been on brown field sites. My own house was built in 1885 and is a terraced cottage in an old coal mining town where mining stopped decades ago. You, a

The video you cited made me feel both ill and annoyed. The smug proclamations from some guy who judges everyone else was nauseating. It's also based on urban life within a city. Cities with invariably flat landscapes with no hills. The

You sound (write) like you live somewhere where the weather is always reasonably pleasant enough to be out on a bicycle. Here in Scotland, that kind of weather is rare. In fact it's so rare that we tend to remember the nice days. We ju

When I embarked on my 3rd party application for Elite: Dangerous, I made the decision very early on, not to open source it, even though I use Python libraries etc. which are. It also uses PySide under the LGPL. The reason I did that was bec

Thanks - I did add "python" to it but forgot to refresh the page so got befuddled then added python2/3 instead. I've no idea why the original poster decided to be so... selective.

I don't understand the problem this is solving. Perhaps it's the sparse explanation from the github page? I dunno. What I do know is; I have a Windows VM under libvirt/Kvm/Qemu and it's everything this thing claims
