DELL too, bought a 4k 24" conference monitor off a second hand site for £80. It's got a good quality pop-up webcam, too. Usb hub, hdmi/dp ports, Ethernet on the back. Connects and powers the laptop with a single thunderbolt usb-c cable.

Not sure about ppi and stuff, but works great for me.

Yeah, re eating, smoking etc it is a question of willpower in most cases. Ay least there's now a pill/injection for it.
Coincidentally just bought myself a stratum 1 ntp/gps "clock" few weeks ago for £60.

Runs in my loft, what a time to be alive.

Waste of money.

"For Modal, a robust app sandboxing story is essential to creating a Free Software OS that is competitive with modern mobile platforms."

Why? Focus should be desktop, not mobile.

We have enough mobile stuff that creeped in already.

You can run your own afaik, but most MNOs prefer to outsource (big surprise here).

There's a fallacy in there somewhere.

I bet they're not spending $X/m on any of your free things, they're sitting on underutilised resources they're paying for anyway at probably very handsome rates.

At worst this is included in their marketing budget.

"The Danube runs 2,857km (1,775 miles) through 19 countries."

BBC can't even check Wikipedia.

It used to be the case in the past, perhaps, but not now.

Now you just get fscked twice.

Re:Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school on Friday June 19, 2026 @08:27PM (#48604975)
Return to pen and paper, particularly for testing. Extend school time for doing supervised "homework" that doesn't involve the Internet.

Like that?

I'd love to see the pic, but imgur has banned the UK. Any chance you can upload this elsewhere?

Yes and no, with `find` I know I'm getting "live" results from the filesystem, whereas plocate (and s/locate) merely searches through a database updated god knows when, assuming it's even installed and the bulk of the files indexed.

Re:Cloudflare CEO on the Italy Fines on Saturday January 10, 2026 @01:30AM (#46563335)
Started reading the post on Cloudflare's side, but halfway through I ended up against it.

It's a little bit scary that guy is the CEO, his post sounds crazy and unprofessional.

The fact he's posting on X to begin with is a warning in itself.

I have noticed exactly the same myself re keto. Also it's probably the easiest diet or regime you can do.

UPF is the new devil as far as I can see, alongside refined sugar.

Also the size and sugar contents of some fruits nowadays is just insane and many still think they're "healthy".

My gut feeling is that it won't happen.

It will antagonise not only Denmark, but the whole of Europe - govs & people - to a point where USA might find it's all alone in the world.

That'll be the beginning of the end for the empire.

GPUs yes, but there'll be no HDDs making it alive, they'll get destroyed to protect whatever rubbish they had on.
Make it so!

This is making me hopeful and wish to see this implemented in UK (and everywhere) yesterday..

What we can be certain of: there's going to be a hell of "lobbying" against it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump himself comes out crying how this is undermining USA commercial and business intetests! :)

Make an image with virtio drivers for network and storage, save it or convert it to qcow2 then register it into Digitalocean etc, it's quite easy.

Re:Ask HN: What are people doing to get off of VMware? on Sunday October 19, 2025 @06:53PM (#45638765)
Microsoft gaining the most I reckon.

Kind of sad seeing businesses getting screwed by closed source proprietary software, then making the same choices all over again.

Nutanix also seeing huge demand.

Not everyone is repeating their mistakes, with Proxmox and Xcp-ng seeing huge new level of business, as well, which is nice.

I'm part of the Apache CloudStack project and that too is seeing unparalleled levels of demand. The KVM hypervisor has sort of become the de facto choice, thanks to virt-v2v tool which can help migrate VMware guests.
