It’s easily got to the point where home broadband is not the limiting factor. We are a home of 2 people and our 500Mbps is more than sufficient.

At work we found that people’s home WiFi is way more limiting than the incoming connection.

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but it looks like she was searching for it.

That plus if they are selling a non-standardised service to a business it can be challenging to work out the cost. Projects, consultancy, etc all need to be scoped and estimated.

Thanks Tom! I appreciate the work you are doing to keep the server up and running.

Biscuit of the day (BOTD)

What is your favourite biscuit? What biscuit will you be having with elevensies? What biscuit do you hate? What do you call a garibaldi?

I had to check it wasn’t April 1st.

Fair play to them, if they think they can do better elsewhere then have at it.

I sometimes think this is because of commercial real-estate, the death of the high-street, Pret not making as much money, etc.

But more often than not I think that it is because MPs and CEOs don't actually like spending time with their families. Their work is their hobby, they don't want to be 'home with the kids', and they like the office culture they have developed over their career. In the office they are important. At home they have to do the dishes.

"Concerns" - sure, be concerned but let the trial play out. That's the point of a trial, to assess if something works or not.

The problem with MPs is that they continually ignore facts in favour of stupidity.

I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?

  • Discos: Not as good as they were when I were a lad.
  • Walkers: Consistently ok.
  • Kettle: Good if you are feeling a bit posh, but the balsamic vinegar can be overwhelming.
  • McCoy's Ridge Cut: Excellent.

I love a good burger, but the wife isn't so keen. Burgers are now a treat for me.. Honest Burger is my go-to chain for 'It's pretty good'.

I put the green (it's green for garden waste here) bin out on Friday and they emptied it, which I consider a win given all the local politics about strikes and stuff.

Feddit UK continues to grow, and as such @tom@feddit.uk is going to need to spend more time and money on hosting, moderation, and general tinkering. Using the Ko-Fi link is good for giving the odd one-off donation, but perhaps an OpenCollective account (like some of the Mastodon servers are using) would be a longer-term approach.

It's excellent. UHD streams, decent enough sound quality, choice of what to watch. This is what I pay my licence fee for.

I suggested to my wife that she should use a different house for marmite.

Looks to me like it is the school that is taking the piss.
