Only if you actually receive your pack which reports suggest hasn't been as reliable this time around.

And also remember to look up the list of accepted photo ids and get yourself set up with at least one that you can take with you to the polling station. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need

The original was EA, this re-release is Aspyr, so as bad as EA are I'm not convinced that they're to blame here.

I vaguely remembered a quote about him saying he was impressed with Saddam Hussein's indefatigably.

After going to look it up just there to confirm it was him that said it I saw more of the context around it:

Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability, and I want you to know that we are with you, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-Quds until victory, until victory, until Jerusalem. (https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Galloway)

So whilst I agree that he's out for himself and not someone that I particularly care for, he does seem to have had an interest in that part of the world for the last 30 years or so. This isn't quite the out of the blue political opportunism that some people seem to be suggesting it is.

I'm going to choose not to answer that for two reasons...

  1. I don't know the answer
  2. solar panels and batteries are great.

But yes I'm in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I'm hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.

I don't have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?

Edit: ooft, that's a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can't contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.

Magic, thanks for posting this. I've been trying to find a good and clear explanation of that been going on since I started reading about people getting upset with unity during the week.

I find it quite interesting that Ubisoft Montreal chose the same day as my employer to enforce 2 days in the office every week.

I'll accept that there is a 1 in 356.25 chance that any employer will pick a specific day to enforce a return to office, but it does seem interesting that there would be 2 employers in different countries picking the same day. Is there something special about that day that makes it a special day to change where and how people work? (I know that there were events on 2001 that took place on this day, but that doesn't seem too likely a reason to pick that particular day to enact this change)

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks it's acceptable to tell people to "fuck off to France" when they voice their displeasure at being loaded into a floating barge containing Legionella can go and do one as far as I'm concerned.

If you can't show any kind of empathy for fellow humans who are potentially fleeing for their lives then you are not deserving of any respect.

I personally use gitea but there is also a community version of gitlab that has way more power than I need.

Gitea can import a repo from GitHub but I don't know whether it can also push updates out as one never tried to do that.

I picked gitea as I didn't need all of the extra power of gitlab and they were the first two options I found. I don't deploy it using portainer but all of my stacks are set up as git repos in portainer and using the webhook feature it'll auto pull and redeploy whenever I push to it

I've been using Cura as a slicer for my Anycubic Kobra since I got it a few months ago. After a few weeks I discovered octoprint which was amazing as it let me start and monitor print jobs whilst out and about.

Cura has been great for me but I'm growing tired of needing to copy my print profiles from machine to machine on different OSes to slice my STL files. Is anyone aware of any self hosted web based slicers I could use to sidestep this problem?

I would be willing to live without an octoprint plugin and manually download and upload the gcode files to my printer if needed, I just want to be able to slice from wherever I am and kick off the print from wherever I am.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've just gotten my own instance of Lemmy running here and think I'm getting the hang of how to subscribe and link up to other instances. This is also a teaser to see if my first comment actually works!
