  • 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.

  • Pretty sure I've had "click all bicycles", with a bicycle drawing on the road.

  • 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!

  • I use ACalendar+. There's a free and a paid version.

  • Logins with 2FA aren't working, is it possible to fix?

  • Apparently mouses is correct for computer mice but I don't subscribe to that train of thought at all.

  • I think it's because they all show up as being boosted by the group.

  • 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!

  • It depends.

    One which has communities on that you like will make your "local" feed more relevant. (have a look at !specialized_instances@kbin.social)

    One which has a domain you like might appeal.

    Otherwise, given you can subscribe to anything on any instance, it doesn't really matter.

  • 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.

  • They finally worked out how to exit this realm?

  • You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.
