In terms of where to host stuff sure.

“Hydration breaks” were bad enough when it was too hot. when it’s 20C drizzle or in an air conditioned stadium it’s just for adverts.

Bribery to get players into the host country, or to get players unsuspended, it’s never been so blatant.

That disgusting half time nonsense hasn’t occurred before.

There was a phase where these ghastly large pickups with four doors were common. Never had a drop of mud on them, but they were available tax free as a “work vehicle”, so no income tax on it.

They are ridiculous in the lanes round here, and invariably are in the disabled parking spaces at the shop as they are too large to fit in normal spaces

Reform reached 31% in the polls and have slipped to 26%. there’s a (slim) chance Farage will be beaten by a comedian in a bin.

Trump reached 55% and became president. Twice.

Pot. Kettle.

He’s good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Rather than actually getting real on China and their abuse of the postal system, it’s all about tarrifs on penguins.

Biden did far more with the chips act, but rather than building on that trunk failed to enact any meaningful change. And of course make billions in the side from bribery.

If you’ve spent a life and the market being supreme then it’s a shock. China’s economic system is wiping the floor with the west.

The U.K. has just nationalised a steel plant which had been bought by China to stop it from being destroyed, and of course the economic right wing hate this as steel is far cheaper to import.

I can teach pretty much any film I want for £3 through Apple tv. That’s the same price I paid at the video store in the 90s, Except inflation means it’s half the price in real terms and the quality is far higher.

Hell I rent films I own on blueray as diving through the cd wallets while the pizza goes good isn’t worth the saving.

Mactelnet is infinity useful, no need for terminal servers, you can bounce from your second mikrotik and reset the config no matter how screwed up your config.

Diffs are a pain as the order of the export changes in a version by version basis

But using “export terse” is far easier to do a standard “diff”

The first one had no wifi and less space than a nomad - 5g from memory. That’s about 85 hours at 128k.

I had more than that on CDs at the time.

Now technically it’s “piracy” in the U.K. to rip your own cd.

I really should go back to buying CDs.

My WireGuard uses (either at home or at work) are very much mobile client to single network

Where Tailscale comes into its own is automatic managing of mesh networking (like an “sdwan” solution). The other thing it excels at is firewall busting - if you have a firewall (with or without address translation) which only allows outgoing traffic to be established (with UDP timeouts for session) then Tailscale also works in a similar way to turn/stun.

If I needed that capability then I’d be looking at Headscale. I don’t need it though.

Remember that this is hackernews, not slashdot. Where the community used to be far smaller and the technology far smaller it was quite normal for everyone to understand basic building blocks of ip addresses, use open source software, wear t-shirts threatening to replace people with a small shell script etc.

It’s not the same community, many people here have no real understanding of computer fundamentals, but instead have expertise in specific narrow areas. They also have little interest in things like free software, but do have an interest in building a new billion dollar company to sell to a behemoth.

Count Binface 9 days ago

So if that 55% turn up and vote, are they going to vote Farage or Binface?

Could be tatton 97 again.

It’s going to be decided on turnout.
