This like most things on the internet this is bollocks (or more fitting, horse shit). Obelisk didn’t conceal food, the pigeons fed on crumbs from food given to the horses by tourists. Any pigeon was killed by accident.

This lie comes from this article https://www.thefield.co.uk/... which also lies about a horse called "Boomer" running away from the escort of Prince Charles and Lady Diana wedding in 1981. The horse was called Wildfire and ridden by Shotgun Mills and while it ran away, they didn't rejoin the escort after having a drink. The escort was also going towards St Paul's which is the opposite direction to Whitehall

Both those horses were specifically Blues and Royals horses

This type of reporting is frustrating and I really should get off the internet.

These surveys are done by consultanting companies that have large investment holdings. For example in this report one of the surveys is from Mercer, who has an investment wing that has a AUM (asset under management) ^1^ of $727 Bn according to their website ^2^. Would there potentially be any sort of chance someone like Mercer never put out a survey that goes against the bullish market driven by AI speculation? Obviously journalists won't think about these things anymore because that will effect their click rate.

I wonder if you can still have syncthing on Android just by using Termux, installing from the package manager (looks like syncthing is available) and installing Termux on boot app add on to keep syncthing running no matter what.

Obviously not as convenient but potentially a workaround

I've also noticed too and they've been showing up on other communities with the flimsiest reasons for why it's been posted e.g. "Oh well I made the slopware while using Linux so that's why I'm posting to this Linux community". Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

Some communities seemed to be fine with those low effort "I made a slop thing/I'm just going to shamelessly promote" though so I think block profile/unsub is the only option.

It's not quite as simple as that and there are other growing conditions that are required. If we take Arabica, it requires a very small window temperature window, sunlight but not so much it scorches the plant, a particular pH of soil, and consistent rainfall.

Climate change brings unpredictability to growing conditions so even if you had to move where you grow it, it won't necessarily mean it'll grow well. Plus different locations can bring on new diseases for the (coffee has its fair share of diseases to combat with) and so new varitals would need to be selected which is no simple task.

As the article points out, coffee is notorious for being fussy when growing it.

I didn't agree with his knock on the Clever dripper as it's not comparing like for like i.e. comparing a single cup brew between each brewer.

The Clever Dripper is large enough that making a single 250ml cup isn't risky as the water never gets half way up the brewer and you're going to be picking up a mug anyway too so it seemed like a weird point to make. Though perhaps there are accessible mugs/cups out there so my counter point may be off.

Still the hoop looks like a cool brewer but I find brewing with a Clever dripper so hassle free (I do the water then coffee method so no goose neck kettle needed) that I couldn't justify getting it myself. The price is a little too much in my opinion

As someone has said, pre ground is a losing battle and any coffee you buy from a shop where they don't show the roast date (super markets etc) will also restrict you on good taste

However, you might have some luck adding salt to your brew to improve the taste. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PUWQQ-joKE

Can I ask, how much of a limit does the free tier have on bandwidth if you're doing something like hosting Jellyfin?

I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)

  • First Gulf War
  • Yugoslavia war
  • Rwandan Genocide
  • Oklahoma City Bombing
  • Columbine Massacre
  • Los Angeles Riots
  • The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
  • Somalian War
  • US 1990 recession
  • 1997 Asian Financial crisis
  • Dot com bubble
  • Hurricane Andrew
  • 1999 İzmit earthquake

It's very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.

The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that'll trick your mind.

If it was me personally I would just test the handlers separately rather than scaffolding the router entirely.

Either way, I suggest looking into using the standard lib http/httptest https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/httptest

Here's an snippet example of testing a handler

req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/health", bytes.NewBuffer([]byte{}))
if err != nil {
    t.Fatal(err)
}

rr := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler := http.HandlerFunc(srv.HealthCheckHandler)
handler.ServeHTTP(rr, req)

if rr.Code != http.StatusOK {
    t.Fatalf("expect HTTP response code %d, got %d", tt.expectHttpCode, rr.Code)
}

Have used Linux for work (desktop and server) for 15+ years. At home I've got Linux for my servers but desktop had stuck to windows because of gaming and audio production software.

The experience in gaming is amazing now on Linux for me and while audio is still quite iffy it's workable.

I have never liked Microsoft so binning them off at home completely is something I've always wanted to do

Rats are brilliant animal model for biological studies relating to humans due to significant similarities to us. I will say though seeing a result in a single study on rats doesn't mean "definitive this is how it works in humans" and think the video should have concluded in a less "and that's the answer" way.

Cool video, just iffy conclusion.
