Getting citizenship in a lot of countries is expensive.

My partners mother has lived in the UK since the late 80s, has been married to a british bloke for most of that time and has two kids that were born here by him.

Still only has indefinite leave to remain, no citizenship.

looks like it'll be over £3000 if she wants to get it just for the application (i imagine it'd also be a good idea to instruct a solicitor). which, for a semi-retired carer that flies back to her home country for a month each year, is a lot of money

I'm waiting for decent support for the snapdragon x elite chips. From what i can tell from discourse online it's still a very rough experience with linux.

I don't want to drop £1500 on a laptop i can't really use.

Anno 1800 just inhales my free time

We need more like him

that is the nuclear option and can have severe consequences in terms of peoples trust in government and the democratic process.

People tend to be deeply upset when you take their choice away from them.

It's not an option that should be used lightly

Yup, they still vote though. so again i say... so?

AfD is getting close to large enough to make forming a coalition to cut them out of the decision making process not possible without increasing fragile coalitions from other parties that dont work well together.

but keep ignoring the problem, sure

so? doesnt mean its not an issue that concerns the average voter. at the end of the day they're the ones who decide who forms a government

he's not wrong. AfD are on the rise in Germany, NF in France, Reform in the UK. Immigration is the core issue for a huge swathe of the european population. whether you believe in russian interferance or not it wont matter when these parties get in, which they will.

There is some extremely concerning polling in the UK putting reform ahead of all of the other parties including the one currently in government.

We have some strong european leadership right now in terms of rhetoric, but macron is weak domestically, and Merz had to form a coalition to keep the AfD out

absolute banger of a song btw

i refer you to my previous comment on the subject

pool mining on the lower difficulty pool

and yeah used gupax for the cpu so p2pool+xmrig is built in

haha i also have my own homemade linux router. debian based on an orangepi r1+

thinking about replacing it with openwrt on some more application specific hardware soon though

never heard of it tbh

not something i recorded this time. may do it next year.

i observed usually around 83 to 93 degrees celcius on the GPU. although i did see it drop to 53 degrees a few times whilst still mining. not sure what that was about as there's no way that was a true figure.

i did override the gpu fan once or twice manually and set it to full flat out and got it down into the 70s. i found the interface for that to be kinda complicated to deal with though so i didnt do it routinely

wasnt watching the CPU

could have bought yourself a £500 gpu after and mined even more then

Not possible where i am. i live in an apartment above a shop in a busy UK town. Attaching anything to the outside of my property requires expensive permission from the freeholder.

Plus i want to move in the next year or so, so economically it wouldn't make a lot of sense for me to do it

was fun tho. and if those coins do pop in future then i stand to make a decent amount of money.

I've spent more on the lottery for worse odds

I was folding@home on my media server as part of this experiment.

I did try and do this a couple years ago with folding@home on both machines but didn't make it all the way through December, although i did have different hardware at that time.

I did briefly look at doing it again this year but setting it up to work with an AMD gpu seemed to be unsupported. the mining software seems easier to script with too

Yes, it does get below freezing quite a few times during that time of year. if i allow the temperature in the flat to get too low i risk pipes freezing which can cause damage.

Plus i have the girlfriend factor to think of. She likes to be warm and is loud about it when she isnt
