I used to work at Very Large Multinational Company and the Legal department was quite clear in "don't email us. always call".
@neil
Ta! I’m close, and others have been successful it so must be missing some key step.
@neil
Thank you for that information, am about to return to getting an OpenWrt config on a 4G modem config’ed router working. Might be a few useful hints.

@neil meanwhile teens will be sharing underground photorealistic face models and tutorials about how to load em up into vtubing software as a virtual webcam

I looked into migrating from Evernote to Obsidian. It seemed sensible that I could use a common file sync service for the latter but one that wasn’t bound to only Obsidian. Resilio seemed to tick the boxes - peer-to-peer replication. Another option in ‘syncthing’.
@Indyposterboy Great Britain & Northern Ireland, and being British. That’s also a good topic to mull over.

Did my bit at the anti-AfD demo in Berlin today
After having lost my EU citizenship rights through Brexit, then regained them by becoming German, I don’t want my adopted country going the right wing populist route the one of my birth did!
#StormIsha Internets broke for about 2hrs but Voxi/Vodafone are first to restore (between Three, Vodafone & Openreach/TalkTalk).

A Ukrainian hacker group named BlackJack has breached and wiped more than 150 systems belonging to the Main Military Construction Directorate for Special Facilities (GVSU), a state-owned company that builds military facilities for the Russian military.
The group downloaded more than 1.2TB of information from the company's servers containing information on more than 500 military sites.
Ukraine's GUR agency praised the attack on Telegram as a major success: https://t.me/DIUkraine/3314

@neil I see it as another way in which the delivery options available to small businesses will fall further behind the likes of Amazon. Those in major urban areas I believe can get at least a subset of items the same day or even with 1 hour delivery. I get next day delivery with pretty good order tracking on the edge of the Highlands. Our postie is great and generally finds a way to avoid us needing to collect a parcel, however is massively let down by the rest of the system.

RIP the man who was the absolute incarnation of XKCD's "one random dude holding up the entire internet". You may never have heard of David Mills, but your entire goddamn world depends on what he did.

I’d love to see a pic of the cabin.
Standard Ryanair seats & a cargo/package cage?
@dans @jon
Understand, convenience often translates to short crossings and lower cost.
Living on Ireland, options are limited for direct ferry service to mnland Europe. Ferries tend to be priced for those truly wedded to their car/camper van/motorbike.
I enjoy combining the journey and the destination as the experience but, sadly, flying to Amsterdam or Paris is often a necessary first leg.
As if no-one’s been paying attention?

And sorry if I sound like some old fogey, but I don't give a damn about drone taxis
I would simply like it that a family from Hagen who wants to NOT FLY to Tarragona for their summer holiday COULD GET THERE BY TRAIN, easily and for a decent price
But that seems to damned radical and hard for EU policymakers to care about 🤬
@TheSnoopySnoop
Have you ever caught one of the Ryanair Learjets?
