The blurb is verbatim the first paragraph of the article. It is clearly not what they meant to say. Should have been proofread better I guess. shrugs

The simultaneous raids took place around 6:00 a.m., in what police describe as a series of “pro-Palestinian motivated crimes.”

I'm sure the actual article explains this better than the post blurb. I'm about to read it, so I'll find out in a minute. The blurb however makes it sound like the police raids were a series of pro-Palestinian motivated crimes.

Edinburgh specifically, but yeah.

Edit: thought I was replying to a reply to a comment I made on a picture of a sunrise in Edinburgh, yeah, first full day up here was a shock. "What do you mean it's 30 seconds past 10 and the till won't let you make the sale?"

Mine would be mostly the same as yours, but with the added:
Shame about not being able to buy alcohol between 10pm and 10am...

This is what I love about living in Edinburgh, granted half the year I'm up and away well before the sun is even considering getting out of bed, but the sky is so... mutable here. Love it.

This is a very common term. I encountered it back home in Canada frequently, and just as much here in the UK.

tips hat and rides off into the sunset on a giant red stapler

What they said is still valid, and the point they were making aligns with yours.

We don't know since that's different for everyone - but we all agree at some point.

That point is, in our societies, the legally mandated limit of blood alcohol content. How many beers does it take to hit that limit? Without some specific knowledge of an individual, literally no one could say with any certainty. We could make generalities:
One beer over an hour, when drank with a moderately heavy meal.

But there's no way to say "This is too many beers!" Because it is entirely a per person situation. Hell, some people wouldn't blow over the limit and be so drunk they can't stand up.

Why would you do that to Milton? He's clearly the hero of the movie. A humble, kind at heart man...pushed beyond the limits of what anyone should have to bear! So he went a little pyro, they shouldn't have taken his goddamn stapler!

#MiltonDidNothingWrong!

Absolutely! Would be just like that bunch of he was actually an illegal!

Don’t call me “guy,” buddy!

And the guy I was responding to got it wrong too, so I winged it....

Not much of a story really, just about a decade of it suggesting something completely different from what I was trying for.

 

So, I have a rpi4b that's currently running a VPN for family abroad. I'm just finishing setting up Ubuntu server 24.04LTS(I have limited number of USB sticks, and the largest is only 8gb, so this choice was one of size, I can go into ones I had considered before) on an old laptop. For my small business I've also bought a domain for a work email, and eventually a website both are/will be hosted externally as I don't want to faff about with securing those aspects on my home network. The VPN though, that is currently pointing to no-ip dns service, and I want to migrate that to both the laptop and my own registered domain. What's best practices here? I do need the VPN to exit through to my network, so that my MiL can watch UK streaming from abroad(TV licence shenanigans).

 

So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it.
Opinions were.....mixed.

I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit!
Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.

Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.

My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues.
As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.

If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.

 

I've got OpenVPN running, and the NoIP DUC running, if I setup OpenVPN to use my current IP everything works well, can connect, and more importantly can access the Internet. If I configure it to use my DynDNS through NoIP then it allows my to connect, but I then have no access outside my local network. If I was just trying to access a server that would be fine, but obviously this is supposed to be a VPN.....

 

I've been making tunes for 20+ years, I'd like to post some somewhere for you people to probably not enjoy much as it's a bit shit.

 

Prior to 0.0.33 there were all the buttons below messages, vote arrows, show context, mark read and reply. Have they been hidden and I just don't know how to show them? Is this a bug? Am I dumb?

EDIT: Added my bug report as embedded post link.

EDIT²: Closing my bug report, solution is to long press on the username area of the message.

0.0.33 update log should mention this. It's a good feature, but frustrating if it's not mentioned in the documentation.

Edit³: I believe that the line in the changelog:

"Comment action bar improvements by @twizmwazin in #453"
Refers to what is happening, I'm not entirely sure.

Final Edit: the actual bug is that the comment action bar setting in the settings menu doesn't work for inbox items. The bug report has been reopened and is active.

 

The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.
