How accurate is this do we think?

Most of my steam deck playtime is offline and it's awful at recording that playtime.

I have 4 active bites and squashed one in the bathroom earlier!

That's fair.

Didn't think about coops, I assume that if they went completely underwater their creditors would still own them though.

Could all still work, but could be clunky, would probably all get worked out in time.

Even if we ignored the immediate collapse of the world economy, if you were starting from scratch how would you get anyone to take risks and put money/time into creating a business?

Even if people did decide to do it, no banks would be able to lend to you (what banks? They need a massive amount of money to start) as they would have absolutely nothing as collateral.

You cannot get a grant for a hybrid heat pump system (for example a combination of gas boiler and air source heat pump).

I think it just requires you to have a heat pump for all your water and heating. There appears to be pumps that do both, (mentioned in this article) but that's more research than I can get away with while 'working'.

Do you have a link for the exclusion bit?

The blazer changes could be significant? That was always the big pain point. Just needs threading now!

If it's green energy it's not really a huge problem.

Put some solar panels up too and you're golden.

I guess that's to stop people from using it to get air-con when it's mean to help people move away from gas. A bit silly though.

.....I suspect there are a few models that only need 1 part switched for it to be possible....

They are trying to push people to heat pumps (basically air conditioners tech wise)

They are also moving towards building/efficiency regs that require completely sealed houses and forced air systems in new builds.

So new houses will effectively be required/encouraged to have an air con capable houses.

The old housing stock though? Oof. I'm on a private estate that even bans that kind of stuff!

It not something you expect to look for!

Is that the percentage of the signatures, or a % of the people in the area that have signed?

Would link to the status page.... But it's down!

 

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
