Here's recent article going into how the EU and some of its members are responding https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-exploit-dunald-trump-...

I got strong "The Nine Billion Names of God" vibes from this! Just as the last video is uploaded, without any fuss, the stars start going out... https://urbigenous.net/library/nine…

Jeff Minter-esque! Nice work!

That's exactly what he did - if you look at this history section, he was broadcasting analogue TV signals to his house, and embedding his own Ceefax service in the signal!

Very interesting tool! My Yorkshire grandfather would often say "kirk" instead of "church", which I always thought was more of a Scottish word. Doing a place name comparison of tho…

It was available online at http://www.domesday1986.com/ but this now redirects to https://www.domesday86.com/ (which references the duplicate project in the linked repo) I remember…

I'm sure I've read a much older short story, possibly by Frank Herbert, where in the future computers do all the calculations so humans have forgotten how to do basic arithmetic. I…

I recall accessing Prestel at 1200/75 - 1200 baud coming down, but a measly 75 baud going back up!

FWIW, I recently switched from an Intel to an M1 Macbook, and found shared volumes with Docker Desktop were unusably slow (previously, I'd used VirtualBox host docker and shared fi…

There must be some kind of law "Every company will forget to renew a TLS certificate once" I know I can't throw stones in this particular greenhouse :)

That's a good point, and I must admit I didn't know what a route leak was or that it could inflict this kind of damage. I appreciate now it's not CloudFlare's fault, and my hat is …

We've been evaluating Cloudflare mainly for doing failovers faster than DNS. This morning I ran some tests to generate graphs to show the typical delay incurred in preparation for …

Honestly, it's painless. Fire up a cloud server, run the omnibus installer and you're away. I can't remember having any serious issues in five years running it that way.

There's a maker group local to me that constructed a drivable version called BigHak! http://hackhitchin.org.uk/bighak/

This is up there with the 500 mile email problem - the nature of headers inside an XLS file embedded in an email caused a signalling error in a T1 line when the email was retrieved…

One possible issue, I've got a file showing in "Untracked Files" which is not shown when do git status That aside, I like this a lot, and normally I only use the git command line.

But it's a godawful small affair

I'm 47. I don't worry about age that much, but I recently had a fitness checkup at a gym. I'm no great athlete but I do run and cycle a bit. I mentioned I was training for a marath…

I have a friend into binaural recording, he has a rig shaped liked a head with 3d-printed ears. He wanders around the woods recording birdsongs with it. I would imagine that provid…

He was indeed banned for 18 months - the article must have misinterpreted the story. Here's a BBC News article covering it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-439…

Looks promising - I found I couldn't edit sample text - anything I typed in the sample area was added to the end of the sample, not the caret position.
