For true crossplatform p2p the closest I have found is FlyingCarpet [1]. But it is not super reliable or friendly. [1] https://github.com/spieglt/FlyingCarpet

Interestingly SNCF is expected to subsidise less profitable local services with funds from the profitable high speed routes. Open competition kind of spoils this model. It's not re…

Hmm, I didn't realise that's why the rollout was stopped. (Which doesn't really make sense as a given reason anyway because wouldn't the fibre just have become part of openreach an…

BT was deep into preparations for a nationwide fiber rollout at the time of privatisation in the early 80s. The project was cancelled, the fledgling factories equipment and experti…

I've been looking for a replacement laptop and this issue is making me look away from any future Macbooks. Does anyone have experience if the issue been resolved in more recent des…

The results page usually should flag up results which are outside of a normal range, and what that normal range is. I think that should then be enough to know to Google "Low platel…

Don't see what an LLM really adds here that wouldn't be served by a sensible algorithm which flags up results needing urgent action. Maybe the end user get more clearly explained a…

This may be a nice example of the benefits and drawbacks of GUI vs CLI software. Sure OpenSSL has myriad inscrutable options, but the majority of these probably aren't going to be …

My problem with Joplin is that on my M1 Macbook pro it really shows how much of an Electron app it really is, in the worst ways. Extreme memory use and UI lag for an application wh…

One golden rule that I learned is that interface elements should not move unexpectedly after the interface has been drawn. Google is particularly bad for buttons which move between…

Huh. So Android's push notification service is built on their instant messenger (GTalk), and Apple's instant messenger is built on their push notification service. How cute.

The only appreciable difference I see a need for a border guard to physically inspect and stamp passports, which I suspect slows things down. I guess EITAS checks in the future too…

Dramatic Headline. Only the direct trains will stop. The majority of the Amsterdam to London trains already involved a change in Brussels, where they do have a large and chaotic bo…

Could you elaborate on that? I've not been aware of any.

I thought teddit used something called "unofficial api" which uses reddits rss feeds to avoid using api keys and hitting rate limits. Is this not the case?

But why not just make 100% brighter and make 100% be the top number and make that a little brighter?

In Vine we trust.

We had this happen. There was leak somewhere in the pipe running from the street into our property, which ran under a small front grass lawn before running into the building. We ha…

Does this have advantages over .webarchive?

5% is roughly the amount of people who will answer nonsensically in any survey. The so-called 'Lizardman constant'. We're in agreement what exactly was the purpose of the survey...…

Actually the same thing did happen on iOS with jailbreak tweaks being copied by Apple devs. (E.g. wifi sync, quick reply, predictive keyboard...). Admittedly the pool of developers…

Do you remember when browser extensions could be installed from a developer's own website and didn't require any kind of dysfunctional 'gatekeeping'? I know there are benefits to h…

I mean, honestly this was clear from the moment online stores with DRM'd media started appearing. If it's not stored on your own device in a DRM free format, it can disappear at an…

Wow, I often as a child (still now) would see vivid purple and greens when I closed my eyes or in a dark room. I never thought about it but I wonder what the cause is.

People usually have success in getting newer OS versions running on formally unsupported macs.
