    I've just switched from DigitalOcean to Hetzner purely for cost. I'm getting more resources for less money. Features seem pretty comparable to me but I don't need anything more tha…

    This is less than half of my rent in London. That's not including gas and electric bills, as well as council tax! I do enjoy having a kitchen though. "technically has no fixed abod…

    Apart from being incredibly optimisic about clouds and light pollution, this is really cool. Showing where the satellite should pass from a streetview perspective is a really nice …

    In the Netherlands it's not terribly uncommon. It used to be more the other direction in the UK but it has become more common to be card only here as well. I'm not really sure wher…

    It looks like the flat she referred to still exists, Addison Park Mansions in Hammersmith. So we can make quite good comparison presuming one is rented out still. Though I wouldn't…

    I did Amsterdam to London by bus overnight once. From memory via Rotterdam, Antwerp and Lille. It was appalling but really something to be experienced. The next day was a write off…
