I didn't realise it had been bulldozed. That's incredibly suspicious! They should be made to rebuild it - I think the West Midlands mayor suggested this too!
You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings@lemmings.world (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It's a miserable experience though. It's better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I'm not sure if Calckey works better).
Talking of MUDs reminded me that some years back I discovered Shades (used to be on Micronet/Prestel in the 1980s) was still running. It took me quite a bit of searching to find a random comment, which said Shades is still running (a few years ago) on telnet://games.world.co.uk
I just tried it and it's still there!
RISC OS. It's quite unique, and the UI design is great. Want to save a file? Drag this icon where you want to save it. Access the menu? Middle button, oh and it's all context sensitive, directly under the pointer. Applications are just directories - there are no hidden files.
I did have a problem with this, but it was due to a password manager (possibly Chrome's built-in one which I had a load of passwords duplicated in at one point) auto-filling a hidden field with the wrong password.
The front-end error is backup corrupt, but it's not, it's just the encryption key has been changed at the point of restore. Sort that and error gone.
Backing up to a local server and then shunting off to B2 is largely what I do, except I just use a local file share and try not to store much locally. The Windows 10 built in backup works quite well for this. The file share I back up using Duplicati.
Chargers at hotels are usually regular public ones, so you pay the regular public charging cost.
For a holiday home, if it has a charger it's probably just added onto the cost.
