Hardly the case here, they're just pointing out facts, for those of us who prefer our righteous outrage guided by truth rather than carelessness.

I hear this in the voice of Lindsay Lohan. Though I don't think there was a toilet flush at that point in that movie!

Your signature, "JK obv", where obv is obviously short for Obviously; related to "JK row", where row is of course short for Rowling.

If it were two 'Rowlings', you might be sisters. But being two 'JK's, by logical deduction you must be the same person, having recently married and taken your husband's surname, Mr. Obv(iously).

Hence, your expanded name, "JK Obv née Row"

Flawless logic.

JK obv

Did you get married recently? You should sign it,

JK Obv (née Row)

so people know who you are ;p

And who to increase prices for, and how to sell good-sounding scam deals.

Ford himself took criticism for this. His answer was, if I don't drive other companies' cars, how do I make sure mine are better!

And the 'p' for privacy.

'Smart' means it can send your lifestyle data to the company, and make you dependent on their services.

You want to change your toilet provider? Best of luck holding your poo in for three days while the transfer is processed.

UK government is trying to get into iCloud end-to-end encryption. (Again?)

Makes me think about email servers too. Most of my private information is in emails, and not only I use a service where the host machines access the email, so do almost everyone I email to/from.

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

A long time ago, (on a server far, far away), I uploaded the Spring screenshot of my completed farm. It took me a long time to get round to the Summer, Autumn and Winter screenshots, even delaying updating to 1.6 to not change anything!

I'm very pleased with Ambridges farm. It's my first and only completed playthrough, and the final farm layout started life as a show of fish ponds, and developed to include just about everything that can be on the farm.

I'll put a few more notes in the comments.

Well, with the new .ee community, now seems a good time to get up an post my farm, all four seasons! I hope you like it :-)

(Edit: I just saw that files on Catbox can't be reached from a bunch of countries. Not sure if the Lemm.ee proxying gets around that? If someone could let me know, then I can try and find somewhere else to upload the images. Any suggestions for a good image host?)

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

 

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?

 

Hi I've been gradually finishing my first and only-main farm, and wanted to share :-) It started as the central plaza and fish ponds (since I came to love fishing!) and grew from there. I was going to get all-seasons screenshots and post together, but that's going soo slowly; and, hey, content!

Hope you like it! I think there's a little bit of just about everything there, and if you look closely you can see me sitting on a bench enjoying the flower garden. It's been single player until right at the end I added the 'guest lodges' to share with family and friends. I love how well they fit in places I hadn't planned!
