The rumours are a per-mile tax for electric cars (on top of VED suddenly being charged) but no idea how they implement that? Check the mileage during each MOT and send you a bill ?

@decryption Seriously, that’s some serious weight loss. Well done. 👊
I’ve been struggling to lose weight, and it’s reached the point where I need to consider pharmaceutical support - but can’t think about starting that until I have a colonoscopy and endoscopy due to age and family risk factors, and that pharmaceutical intervention in question poses a general anesthesia risk.
Everybody go read "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson, because apparently that whole scenario is actually about to start happening: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/21/stardust-geoengineering-janos-pasztor-regulations-00646414
@sundogplanets "We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky."
In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day.
It is a very promising start -
#Ireland #TDOR #Trans #TransDayOfRememberance

⬆️ From Dr. Sandra Duffy Golden on BSky, this is the translation of the Irish language text in Catherine Connolly's message above, so I thought I'd share that too 🏳️⚧️
"I want to send my greatest respect and esteem to the trans community, your families, and friends, and to those gathering this evening for this year's TDOR.
...
We recognise again that for our own part, we need to do our utmost to create a society in which everyone can live free from fear, a society that embraces diversity, and where every life is respected wholly. May their souls rest in peace [lit: may their loyal souls be at God's right hand)."

Ultimamente sto vedendo un po' di problemi con Signal e Telegram, non solo nel telefono mio, è capitato a qualcun altr?
Problemi tipo: no notifiche, non carica allegati, i messaggi arrivano tutti insieme quando apri la app
Succede sia su android che su os alternativo 👀
@TheBreadmonkey genuine guffaw, thank you
@nileane worst thought for me.
with all the billions you could end not just one, but likely all major issues.
so housing and food for everyone. healthcare and mobility much better and much easier available.
preparing for climate disasters could be so much better. and instead of burning coal we could actually divest out of fossil fuels.
@stefano your problem is strange. Years of using Hetzner, since the days when they sold VPS and not cloud instances, never a problem and, above all, communication always impeccable.

I think we're talking about the same thing using different nouns.
Goggle+ was their attempt to compete with FarceBook (primarily), and doing that involved aping the way they combined all their features under a single login. The integration of Buzz and every other Goggle app that existed at that time was all part of that strategy, and 2011 was when it all rolled out.
@Strypey
I remember Google Buzz being more similar to Google Wave than to Google+.

Dos bebès juguen amb oli de bebè.
Un comentari fa bromes amb P. Diddy. I que un dels dos bebès entrarà en mode Diddy total.
Jo responc que las bromas de violació no fan gràcia.

Bitte helft mir mal noch mit einer Sache: ich recherchiere gerade zum Thema KI und medizinische Diagnosen, und ich brauche dringend einen Arzt/eine Ärztin, der/die mit mir darüber spricht, was sich verändert hat, seit viele Menschen mit ChatGPT & Co über ihre Leiden sprechen und wie Ärzt:innen damit umgehen. Gerne auch darüber, wie oft die KI falsch (oder richtig) liegt und wohin das führt.
Palermo, il pozzo misterioso
Nel cuore di Palermo, sotto le strade e le piazze moderne, si cela un mondo sotterraneo intriso di storia e mistero.
Tra antichi canali, pozzi e gallerie dimenticate, spicca il leggendario Pozzo Sicano, una affascinante e misteriosa testimonianza del passato che racconta segreti di civiltà scomparse e leggende popolari.

The end of an era - I cancelled my colo service for my #SelfHost server last week, as I have enough bandwidth at home to run everything in the "#HomeLab".
I've had a colo server for over 20 years (2 different 1U servers, and both have been pretty reliable.
First it was in Telehouse London, then a dudes garage in Maidenhead, which then morphed into Pulsant in Maidenhead.
It taught me good discipline about upgrading things remotely, and keeping an eye on security, as it was over 100miles away, which would have been a right PITA to fix if a reboot failed.
By the time I turned this one off, its uptime was over 800 days.
Thank you for your service, little server 🙏
I'm not sure what im going to do with it now, apparently the RAID controller only supports up to 2TB drives, and it's really noisy.
The previous one was the cheapest SuperMicro one I could find at the time, which was ~£800.
I got this one free from @bobbycc, whos work was chucking it out, so it's been well used - Thanks, I appreciate it!
There's nothing physically wrong with it though... 😢
Bishop is clearly more competent and gives less embarrassing interviews, but would voters warm to him more than Luxon?
I'm playing a 20 year old tower defense grid game and having a blast so hush it.
"The internet is forever" is one of those phrases that only functions usefully as a threat (don't post anything you wouldn't want to be there forever) and not a promise (the internet is an archival storage system)
The internet is just a bunch of computers. And, like... you've seen computers.
