Labour U-turns on promise of Scottish-style right to roam in England

Jump

  • Yeah it seems obvious that this is designed to preemptively avoid Tory campaign leaflets in the heartlands with scare stories about Labour being bad for rural communities etc.

    • Cap on bankers' bonuses to be scrapped - BBC News

    Jump

  • Thank goodness!

    • Good, inexpensive fitness trackers?

    Jump

  • I've been using the Mi Band 3 for the past 4 years or so. Was about $15 new from aliexpress and hasn't broken yet - just the plastic straps which break every 12 months or so.

    • What's your go-to brand for Zigbee devices?

    Jump

  • My Sonoff motion sensors have been nothing but trouble. Other Zigbee stuff (and other Sonoff stuff, like temperature/humidity sensors) have worked fine - it's just the motion and door sensors. I guess YMMV.

    • Woman slams selfish paragliders who 'made her think Hamas were invading Doncaster'

    Jump

  • Frankly that's even more insane.

    • FOSS alternatives to Tasker?

    Jump

  • I had the opposite experience - absolutely no idea what to do when I opened the app. Eventually got something working but I think maybe one plus's os is hostile to the app's functioning too, so it didn't always work

    • Google Now was the better phone assistant, no AI or LLMs needed

    Jump

  • Same story here. I'll never understand why they canned Inbox when it was clearly superior to vanilla Gmail.

    • FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.

    Jump

  • that's actually really good - thanks!

    • Data visualization, like Grafana, but configurable without gui.

    Jump

  • Shiny is pretty good. You can do interactive sliders to filter date ranges in that, and you control what happens when you slide it in the code. It's not as slick as grafana though.

    One downside is it started off as an R package then got ported to python, so most resources are for R. Fine for me because I know R, but most people don't.

    Here's the python link: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/

    • Instead of visiting r/place to drive traffic to Reddit, try out HumanShader!

    Jump

  • that's a really cool idea. would love to see the next version be bigger and longer, though it probably doesn't scale well with the requirement to manually verify that the calculations have been performed by hand.

    • TIL that following the Roman departure from Britain (410 CE), systematic construction of paved highways in the UK did not resume until the early 18th century

    Jump

  • Yep, spent far too long this morning looking all the still existing Roman roads up on OSM and following them along going "wow look how straight it is!"

    • What got you into selfhosting and what was the first thing that you hosted?

    Jump

  • Ever since the CS1.6 days I wanted to have a server, but it was only when I got a free Raspberry Pi that I actually started self hosting stuff 24/7. I put OwnCloud on it and a bunch of scripts to track and statistically evaluate my investments, and just took off from there. Like many others, my desire to disconnect and reduce my dependency on "Big Tech" was a big motivator, but so too was "fun" and having things exactly the way I liked.

    In the beginning I rolled my own scripts most of the time, but now I tend to use more off the shelf tools as self hosting has gone more and more "mainstream"/accessible and docker has become ubiquitous.

    I still do my own scripts tbf, like my DIY smart thermostat/heat pump controller. Ultimately it's just a lot of fun.

    • How do you deal with malicious requests to your servers?

    Jump

  • Why is unattended upgrades frowned upon? Seems like I good idea all round to me?

    • What are YOU self-hosting?

    Jump

  • Cheers, that's not so bad - might give it a shot!

    • is it better to use subdomains or paths?

    Jump

  • Agreed, I've run into lots of problems trying to get reverse proxies set up on paths, which disappear if you use a subdomain. For that reason I stick with subdomains and a wildcard DNS entry.

    • What are YOU self-hosting?

  • What's the performance of Frigate like on an N5095? I've got a J5105 that I'm tempted to use for a few of my cameras, but worried I'll be wasting my time.
