In the UK it’s got to be the City of London. Famous for being an ancient city established by the Romans and awash with history, now one of the world’s biggest financial centers with a modern skyline of famously distinctive skyscrapers. It’s home to some world-famous landmarks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, and has a population of about 10,000.

The City of London is not to be confused with London, London, London or London.

We’re talking about Southern US pronunciation so much that I read your comment from “do I” onwards as if it was being spoken like a Southern Belle.

I say “all of y’all” and make a point to really emphasize the “'”.

I came here to say this. If anyone’s interested, here’s unedited footage of a bear.

Nothing more dangerous than a female haggis guarding her neeps.

I mean, joking aside, isn’t that how parity calculations used to work? “Got more uppy bits than downy bits - that’s a paddlin’” or something.

I maintain that it’s cheaper to buy better and keep longer, but, yeah, Vimes’ Boots strike again.

So I was about to say “I love my Fairphone 5 and recommend it wholeheartedly but it’s not supported by Lineage is yet, which is really frustrating, especially after its been out nearly a whole year”, but then I checked and - well, I’ll be damned - LineageOS does support the FP5 now so I know what I’ll be doing later on: eating chicken wings. But after that, upgrading my FP5 to LineageOS.

I read “daters” as “dealers” and I ran the whole gamut of emotions in about a half second.

charmap.exe? Holy shit. Windows 95 called, but I didn’t have a 33.6k modem ready to answer.

I think Hoyle needs to up the Lancastrian. He’s got the accent in spades, but he needs to start turning up in a flat cap and with a whippet.

No. Yes. Kind of.

My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.

Depends where you live, but in my area pizza boxes go with the cardboard.

It’s plaintext all the way down.

GDPR. Honestly, one of the greatest laws ever passed by anyone, anywhere. No hyperbole, it’s so simple and pro-dignity. It also offers a simple litmus test: if you oppose GDPR, I oppose you.

Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is one of the advertiser’s most powerful tools.

Huzzah!
