I moved to virt manager from boxes as I it let me down too many times with bugs. VMs would not restart and snapshots would fail to launch.

This is similar using nix: https://devenv.sh/

It has a few more features like git hooks and spinning up long-running processes like web servers

Triangle of Sadness is another I think, a bit of a patchy film tho

Maybe Strudel:

Can help with composingyour own tunes and I think its dev friendly being javascript based.

Stalker has been on my watch list for ages, must find time for this

So underrated/underappreciated this film I think! Pacey, funny, smart with an existential threat and Tom Cruise playing humble. Emily Blunt is perfect and Bill Paxton has a great time.

I’ll take a look at those, thanks

Appreciate your advice, thanks. It’s the daily driver so I’m probably overthinking it!

The thing that puts me off a cover is that I hear you have to really keep the car clean to avoid damage? I just don’t have the time right now to keep washing it.

I like you can set custom exif tags like artist with open camera.

Paolo Nutini’s song ‘Iron Sky’ samples this same speech

Never had this with ZigBee, one hub lots of different devices. Had to switch hub to USB2 at beginning to reduce interference but after that smooth sailing.

An example site that takes user submissions and is not a wiki:

https://nerdydaytrips.org/

https://github.com/nerdydaytrips/website

Users submit a form that is turned into a github PR, hosted with cloudflare worker. Site itself is completely static, made with hugo. The data about each map pin is simply key/value in the frontmatter of a markdown file:

https://github.com/NerdyDayTrips/website/blob/main/content/daytrip/eu/gb/1066-battle-of-hastings.md

Simple but effective and can be styled however you need (hugo has themes). Moderation can scale by adding more contributors who can merge PRs.

‘Last year, we asked the public for their views on smart products in a series of workshops. People shared concerns that products collect too much personal information, and said that they feel powerless to control how their data is used and shared’

Thank you to these people!

I like ‘Removable Drive Menu’: a status menu for accessing and unmounting removable devices.

Thanks, did you move your worlds/settings etc by hand then?
