That’s not quite true, water charges are part of your council tax. You get a discount if you have a septic tank because then dealing with the waste water is your responsibility.
But you pay a flat rate based on your property’s estimated value in 1991.
And Northern Ireland, but let’s be honest, Scotland has it’s own issues with nationalised bodies cough ferries cough so we Scots can’t sit here with too smug a grin on our faces. I’m sure Northern Ireland has it’s own issues in this field as well, but I don’t live there so I pay less attention to that.
I broadly agree with nationalising critical infrastructure like water, electricity and gas, some other key infrastructure like railways, the post office and probably a few others I can’t think of at this moment in time but it’s far from perfect and isn’t going to make everything perfect overnight.
I know it doesn’t help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they’ve updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I’ve gifted to my wife) And I’m liking the look of the new design.
I’ll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren’t doing a great job.
If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn’t work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252
I got the pro version, but there’s no reason that you can’t get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don’t know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.
I’m going to choose not to answer that for two reasons…
But yes I’m in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I’m hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.
Ah, fair point. I don’t use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn’t need to factor into my thinking.
My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.
I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)
I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.
If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.
I don’t have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?
Edit: ooft, that’s a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can’t contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.
Interesting, I’ll try again from my desktop when I get back home again. I guess it’s possible that it’s my phone that’s the problem.
Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you’re a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.
For torrents, you’ll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.
I get the impression that you’re new to the whole *arr set of applications.
Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you’re asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.
Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers
I’m not so sure about that, as I’m getting an error whenever I try to hook jacket up to the account I just created.
I’ll post an issue to the jacket issue log when I get home though after trying again I case there’s a delay in creating an account and the passkey becoming usable.
I think it’s a relatively recent thing. As the documentation for each of the *arts has a relatively recent minimum version number I think.
Here’s where I went when looking for whisparr, but just replace that with the arr you’re wanting to use and it’ll give you decent steps for getting your database created and migrated into it: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/postgres-setup
Ooo, I’ll add that to one of my planka boards for “things to look at later” thanks for sharing
I’ve been using planka and have been quite happy with my experiences for the last couple of months.
I’ve not tried this myself, but how about mounting the volume using sshfs?
https://simplytim.io/mounting-a-sftp-ssh-share-as-a-volume-in-docker-compose/
This is of course assuming that you’ve got ssh access to the VPS.
I’m currently mounting volumes using cifs and NFS, but I don’t think I’d be too keen on exposing those to the internet at large.
Magic, thanks for posting this. I’ve been trying to find a good and clear explanation of that been going on since I started reading about people getting upset with unity during the week.
Fair points well made. I thought the 11th was a Wednesday and I’ve been off on holiday for a week or so, so brain no worky so good just now.
I’ll l go back under my lurking rock again.
I find it quite interesting that Ubisoft Montreal chose the same day as my employer to enforce 2 days in the office every week.
I’ll accept that there is a 1 in 356.25 chance that any employer will pick a specific day to enforce a return to office, but it does seem interesting that there would be 2 employers in different countries picking the same day. Is there something special about that day that makes it a special day to change where and how people work? (I know that there were events on 2001 that took place on this day, but that doesn’t seem too likely a reason to pick that particular day to enact this change)
Only if you actually receive your pack which reports suggest hasn’t been as reliable this time around.
