Title edited a bit to clarify that it's UK datacentres, and that it's specifically proposed ones - apparently the network is being swamped by speculative applications for grid connection and this might help weed out the non-seriou

Sadly it's true. I've seen people just put the dishes in the dish rack and let the soap bubbles slide off them.

This one has a digital oscillator, but uses a coil of wire wrapped around a loudspeaker to introduce feedback into the audio path. This somehow gives a really nice 'roughness' to the sound.

The Flux mode is really pretty!

CRI of 80 is not great. From my reading, you want CRI 90 if you want light that's pleasant to exist in.

Yabridge works, and it's frankly incredible that it works at all, but it has some trouble figuring out where I'm clicking on EZDrummer. It's gotten better in the latest version of Linux Mint but it's still a bit off.

Huh, I had one of those Thinkpads and I had no idea that this was a thing!

As the headline is a question, the response is of course 'no', but it's a good video on the current state of it nonetheless.

You can still sometimes find mushroom ketchup in UK supermarkets. It tastes a bit like Worcester sauce (spicy and 'brown' tasting), but milder as it has no anchovies in it.

That's the previous setup from four years ago, where the rats just run down a straight corridor.

I've had a coffee from a high end bean to cup machines, installed in a conference room at our vebdor's headquarters, which used fresh milk and made a better cappuccino than I've had from real humans at many chain coffee shops

Bit of a mixed bag for me. There are a lot of things that work remarkably well, but I have some issues with GPU performance (Cyberpunk 2077 just doesn't run well on Linux for me, despite running great on Windows on the same PC, and GPU

Java edition can also use Realms. I'm playing on a realm using Linux Java edition and the official launcher now.

I'd prefer to run Linux, but one of my two primary dev targets requires a proprietary Windows IDE (Automation Studio by B&R). So running that on Windows then using WSL to develop for my Linux servers is the easy path.

I really like Darktable, and it's my go to photo editor, but the user interface really isn't intuitive on first look compared to something like Lightroom. The design choice that editing modules should be ordered by their place i

Unfortunately, vintag.es does seem to have done some work here - while they copied the text, they also added several more images to the single image in the original post.

Hah, damn. We live in different worlds - in mine, 100K samples/sec is blazingly fast! I'm currently working on a PLC program, replacing the PLC's basic cyclic input sampling (max 2K samples/sec) with a harder-to-use mech

Some of my code gets deployed to a PLC aboard a wave power generator hundreds of metres offshore, with a cellular link that might go down in a storm. If something gets unrecoverably wedged, retrieving the device starts at $10K to hire a shi

Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing how well this works, even though the setup was a bit janky. Sadly, after moving my music production setup from Windows to Linux, I'm locked out of some of my expensive sample libraries because while

No, that serves a completely different purpose: I don't want to read through a very large discussion when this perfectly good article is here. Hence my point. You know this already, as you already change your wording depending on wheth
