Now we just need Ferrari to do a partnership with Nintendo and we can literally have Mario vs Sonic on the F1 track.

It's not mandatory but when you've got points on the line they probably didn't want to be seen to be making decisions that could cost midfield teams a chance at points, even if that meant an extra lap or two behind the safety car.

Agree on the GDPA role, but they did explicitly ask him about it during the interview so figured it was at least worth mentioning.

Best theory I have is all the teams are expecting some sort of sanction over the incident and they all want to be able to be arms length and say "that was the FIA's decision" and not have sound bites where they were suggesting that something should happen.

All the drivers clearly have been advised by their teams to not comment on the Max situation. Oscar basically said "didn't have context on what happened, only saw they collided, can't comment", Lando ignored the question entirely and just started talking about his own race, George was pretty non committal despite being involved in the incident and also flat out refused to comment in his role as a GPDA director (says he was "too close to comment").

Clearly they don't want any sound bites out there about it.

Oh absolutely, I'm not suggesting it's a product worth using in this day and age when you probably have good quality music available locally. It was a potentially useful tool back when we all used to download music of questionable quality off the internet, but less relevant these days.

You can also get an iTunes Match subscription. No idea what it goes for these days but it's a bit cheaper than Apple Music (doesn't give you access to any music but lets you sync your music in iTunes to all your devices - still requires a Mac or PC to use though).

tvOS supports VPN connections directly on the Apple TV. Haven't tried it myself but I assume you just download the Tailscale app, set it up, and then it should just work.

Probably so he had the process worked out and ready in case he needed it later in the race rather than them trying to explain it in the moment.

I felt Ollie should have gotten DOTD over Lewis. 20th to 10th and points (well, a point) in a Haas seems more impressive than 9th to 5th in a Ferrari.

Enjoyed the race though! But this is multiple weeks now where we've had issues with the graphics during the race. This week was the most egregious but there's been multiple examples in 2025 where they've turned off the timing on screen because of problems, often with some of the animations freezing or causing driver names to overlap. Wonder what happened to it in the off season?

Surely the ability to be able to tell that story now was a birthday present all by itself 😂

You have essentially a team sport (yes, there's also the individual component), of course fans are going to be "tribalistic" about their teams. And as any sports fan knows, the team that's been dominant for a long period of time tends to be polarising, you're either with them or against them (especially when that period of dominance started with controversy).

Doesn't mean it's a good look for boos at a formal function as opposed to race day, but can't say this is a surprise.

Just call it a fashion style. The Emperor's New Clothes collection.

and correct it in the system

Have you dealt with any large company's first level support these days? They're not empowered to do anything in the system in the vast majority of cases (to be clear, this isn't a dig at support, it's at the companies that don't give their staff the tools to actually do their job).

Yes, most people can spot an obvious error, but actually correcting it in the system is usually much more difficult.

This is one where it isn't just that though. You know there would be people who'd wait for someone to go to the bathroom or fall asleep and then walk past and hit the OK button for them.

I can't speak to the netboot part personally but I've had Docker data folders mounted via an NFS share for a while now, and while it worked fine, I've just in the last week or so swapped them all back to local storage for performance reasons (typically anything involving a SQLite database), so depending on what services you're running via Docker, check that your network speeds aren't going to be a bottleneck for it. (My home network is only 1G for reference so might not be a problem for you).

I've got ZFS on my older NAS which is a FreeNAS box I build myself a while back (an old HP N40L), the Synology one is using BTRFS (only because it doesn't support ZFS). That being said, I'm well aware of bitrot, the RAID is to protect against a drive dying, and the vast majority of stuff on the NAS is stuff where a flipped bit isn't going to be the end of the world even if the file system doesn't catch it. For stuff that's more important I keep multiple copies of it or and/or have a backup in the cloud.

From a hardware perspective I need more storage. Am thinking I'll probably end up with a second Synology NAS unit before the end of the year with 4 hard drives at whatever a reasonable price vs size point it at the time I do it (likely 12-14Tb drives at this stage). Bought drives 2 at a time last time so I'm running two RAID1 pairs right now on the existing unit - adding 4 new drives at once to the home lab will let me move all that content to the new drives and reformat the existing ones into a RAID5 array and get an extra 12Tb of storage.

The one I already have does support adding the 5 drive expansion bay, but figuring that with a second NAS I can move some of my Docker instances currently running on a dedicated laptop onto the second NAS which takes one computer out of the setup as well.

Maintenance wise I've just only done my 2024 maintenance stuff that I do each year. This year it was going through my password vault and making sure everything was synced up, had complex passwords, had two factor enabled where applicable, etc, as well as setting up unique email addresses for every service I'm using (they just forward to the same inbox) to help me track who's been selling my info. Have already found a local fast food outlet who has from that.

Have also rotated all my SSH keys, made sure they were all upgraded to Ed25519 from RSA, set up unique keys for the three devices I regularly use so I can revoke one individually if required, made sure all my hardware was running the latest updates (my RPi running my Pi-hole instance was still on Buster so I had to get that updated before I could even update Pi-hole), etc.

Also swapped my Mullvad connection on my gateway to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN since they're dropping support later this year.

Honestly I'd love to invest in some sort of rack mounting for home, its something I should look into some more, but right now I just have a whole section of the wardrobes in my study for equipment and tech storage. It's working for now although I worry about it in summer with not a massive amount of heat dissipation in there. This weekend is supposed to be close to 40 degrees Celsius both days 🥵

We've all had that moment where stuff gets a deep discount not too soon after we've bought it. Everyone else who was also debating making that same purchase but didn't is now thanking you for being the one to make the sacrifice and pay full price to enable the discount to happen 🫡

I know it's not out yet but I feel pretty confident adding Persona 6 to this list too.

Karens vs CEO, you know what, it couldn't be any worse than the Jake Paul v Tyson fight.
