Use an old Pi 3B for running zigbee2mqtt on docker.

I used to run just the Linux version of it but decided to install docker on the Pi so it's as easy as doing docker-compose pull to update it.

This is so I can control my various lights and switches using Home Assistant.

I use a Topping DX1 DAC with Fedora for sending sound to my soundbar. It's great.

Yeah. I don't know of an extension. I think you could create an extra Firefox profile and run two versions of Firefox (home and work) at once on the home PC. That might be a compromise that works?

Hmm. I wouldn't risk it, personally. I bet the data that syncs can be quite specific. Have you looked for an extension that can just do tab syncing?

Heh. Maybe he's doing high-end closeting.

It's quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it's actually just created more mess.

AntennaPod. The developers seem to have kept it to a very simple remit of just doing podcasts and doing it well.

The spherical cow and the ephemeral dog share the same father.

And the ASRock Deskmini range. I'm currently using one with an older Kaby Lake i7 as my Docker host.

Ooh. I did not know about vscodium! I've removed vscode and installed it on my Mac. Thanks.

It's in Apple's best interest to show how good their encryption is. One must remember that, in these chest puffing cases.

If he'd been called Jobby Pool it could have been prophetic of what happened if he ate his stash.

Lol. Upvote for clown enthusiasm.

There's a huge disparity between the density of energy produced by wind and solar power versus nuclear. It's about intelligently balancing the tools at your disposal.

I've got a right wing mate who was pointing out the "Farage has his bank closed" story the other week and trying to use it as scaremongering that it's the tip of the iceberg of a government agenda to threaten the populace and it could be happening to the everyman next. 😂

I don't think 95% of us are as much an annoying twat as Farage, though. 🙂

Some good answers here. Thanks.

When they mention a drop in fuel prices contributing to the drop, do they mean petrol/diesel or also gas/electricity?

Because vehicle fuel mostly depends on the global oil price, and isn't really anything much related to what the Bank of England does.

Interesting about how parklands make extreme weather more bearable. Nice.

You could (carefully) run a dd command to blast the partition data off the drive, in Linux or any Unix based system.

Let's say your drive was recognised as /dev/sdc when you plugged it in.

First, make sure it's unmounted:

1. sudo umount /dev/sdc

Then blast a gigabyte of zeros over the partition information: 2. sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1G count=1

The partition information is usually stored on the very first couple of megabytes on the drive, so blasting a gig's worth of zeros linearly onto it should make it show up as an empty device next time you unplug and plug it in.
