One tip for persistant notifications, if you long press on it and go to settings then drill down through 2 or 3 screens there’s an option to minimise. It makes it smaller on the notifications drawer and doesn’t show on the starus bar.

Still sucks that apps have to do this to run in background.

My understanding is that evaporative cooling is cheaper so it’s not a closed system. Constantly use new fresh, cold water and you don’t need something to cool down the hot water. Just dump it and let it evaporate or whatever.

Also when a human takes remote control, does that person have a driving licence valid in the place they are driving. Because last i heard they were in Indonesia or something. Presumably a taxi drivers licence as they are carrying passing passengers.

Noticed parking meters here have prominent labels now stating they do not use QR codes. I’m sure that’s just providing the spot to put the scam QR code, but it’s better than nothing.

Immich to one server, syncthing to another. Both servers backed up with restic to hetzner storage box.

In 2014 I set up GitLab for my then employer. It had to be something self hosted because of client requirements. I was apparently the only one in a company of about 200 that knew anything about Linux.

Wasn’t too bad, just keeping it up to date etc. When I left in 2016 I’d just upgraded the server to ubuntu 16.04. It’s probably still running that now. I know someone who is still there and they’ve said GitLab itself hasn’t been updated since I left.

I set up a VPS as a VPN server just for me. There’s sites have definitely done this. Reddit for one. I get cloudflare captchas a lot as well.

You might be already paying a premium for a Skyscanner’s cut. I’d suggest find the flight on Skyscanner and then go directly to that airline’s website to see what the price is there.

I just tried it and got 723 on Skyscanner and 547 for the same ticket direct from airline.

Had the same research issue from multiple models. The website it linked existed and was relevant but often the specific page was hallucinated or just didn’t say what it said it did.

In the end it probably created more work than it saved.

Also a programmer and i find it OK for small stuff but anything beyond 1 function and it’s just unmaintainable slop. I tried vibe coding a project just to see what i was missing. Its fine, it did the job, but only if I dont look at the code. Its insecure, inefficient, and unmaintainable.

It’s from this report https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69411a3eadb5707d9f33d7e8/E03512978_-_Un-Act_The_National_Security_Act_in_2024_Accessible.pdf

I emailed my MP about this before Christmas and am yet to get a reply
