Nope. I spoke to the woman who issued us with an account and they just had it built for them.

That was notably one of the best web experiences I’ve used recently. Gov.uk is exceptionally good.

Yes definitely. I was surprised recently as I had to fill in a massive form based site for UK NHS mental health survey stuff. The site appeared as a flat background old style early…

I think “Linux supported” is a vague promise that should not be relied on. I had a T495s which is supported officially on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. And it was quite frankly broken. Closing…

I totally get that. I did exactly the same. Cost £8 at the time if I remember as well which is a hell of a lot of money for an LED. It was just so different to the yellow, red and …

Don’t have to talk to people via ham radio. We’ve developed protocols now so you don’t have to :)

Am I the only one using outlook and loving it?

systemd is god now and he’s not benevolent. More lord cthulhu.

Ham radio. The desire to communicate is always there.

I can’t wait to have to debug that in production.

I treat my home network as insecure and use an off the shelf ISP provided router (FritzBox). I have saved hours of my life doing this. I was running various unixy things over the y…

> They're all just tools Wherever tools are used there are tools made of shit. Thus we need to discuss the tools.

Correct. But it’s not going to be pretty.

Worth considering redundancy in that as well. It’s very easy to end up with serious problems if we have even a single failed crop in one season.

Between the horrible centralisation of Linux under red hat, the treatment of centos users, jumping in bed with Microsoft and selling out to IBM, I have no appetite for a round of m…

This is a growing sentiment with the pedophilia scandals and the wealth divide in the UK. I’m on the side of disposing of them.

Figures you have to look at to be scared about in this space is an RTX 3070 can pull 250 watts and the core is 1.2v (I haven’t confirmed this) then the card can be sucking up an av…

Not that prick but he’s not far off it. Was a large trade association.

Yes something fairly large and well known.

No one has to work with anyone. Walk away. Edit: Wow the brigading in here is worse than Reddit at US sunrise.

I have. He’s less of an asshat than my father. At best my father got called a prick. We didn’t form a consortium of people to cancel him. That’s just batshit crazy.

This. Fuck ‘em all. This creates more divides, more animosity and discredits us all. It is not welcome.

For me, the undersigned list has now become a shitlist of projects with folk who are more concerned about public image, perception and signalling than engineering. I am quite frank…

Not a clue. Wasn’t really important though in the scale of things. You only work that out as you get older.

Yeah it’s not abnormal unfortunately. Anywhere that “alpha personalities” are likely to clash is bound to result in some physical clashes. My own experience was getting into a fist…
