I did try that once, you can't catch stack overflow errors in .net at least. Too fundamentally broken.

They stop being effective. At 50% if there is another supplier they will be cheaper and get picked. If you set it to 100% or 200% it doesn't make much of a difference. Trade just stops between the countries unless there is only a single supplier for what you need.

The idea is that China can't live without selling stuff to the US..... But it's easier for them than it would be for the US.

The cables are there, should just need new tech bolted onto the ends? And they should have loads from the stuff they are decommissioning?

Probably just not big enough for anyone with enough pull to be worth bothering about. Hopefully an article like this helps.

Build new computer. Old computer to be a home server running Linux or something fancy.

NowTV not showing ads today, just giving us ambient music?

That's an expensive mistake.

People give Spotify shit for paying artists awfully, does anyone know if this is better for Qobuz?

Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I'm aware, so it's not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

Depends how accurate Sims are

 

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
