I like the idea of a "Car Trap". Perhaps we should have more of them elsewhere.
Seriously though, why are they there?
We should have more guided busways and light railways on Beeching's closed railway lines. Hertford to Luton. Buntingford to Broxbourne.
Curious how they cope with single track sections.
@Normal for '23 😷🇪🇺🍸 They’re there to stop cars going further on the busway, presumably so that they can be retrieved more easily than half way down a guided section. (This section is an anomaly because it’s not guided except at the entrances; the proper guided sections are narrow trenches.)
Wouldn’t recommend guided bus as a transport solution even if reusing closed railway alignments for transport is a good idea.
Single track sections are controlled by traffic lights.
So it seems there are still, despite increasing numbers of “leaders” involved in “crypto” ending up in prison for being con artists, true believers in NFTs (if you’ve forgotten about those, they were briefly bigger than COVID 19 and about as beneficial to humanity) held a party in Hong Kong last night.
The organisers thought they were lighting the stage with black lights (like they have at LaserQuest to make your clothes glow).
They were not.
They were lighting the stage with UV-C sterilisation lights.
Apparently everyone involved is now in accident and emergency with extensive sunburn and BURNS TO THEIR RETINAS!!
In 18 months there are going to be a bunch of people wearing dark sunglasses and refusing to meet outdoors trying to sell you something expensive to do with “AI”. You probably shouldn’t buy it.

Like, there’s frequency components that should be there, even if distorted, but they’re just … missing.
60 seconds of that would give me a migraine.
I heard part of it and it just felt flat and empty anyways.
If someone (good) makes a cover I’ll listen again. Just to see how it is. Don’t expect it to exactly blow me away. I get it if a massive Beatles fan find it exciting, but for the rest of us it’s just a song amongst songs.
Ah, the glorious denizens of Reddit have definitively informed me that Tailscale, which implements a virtual network, privately, is “not a VPN”.

Had a look at the Reddit crypto forums last night because who doesn't love a bit of schadenscrolling. They're still neck deep in Kool Aid, all going, "buy the dip! buy the dip!"
Guys, the people you are "buying" from keep going to prison for doing a runner to the Caribbean with the money. The only thing you are buying is new yachts for scammers.
READ THE ROOM. You have been conned. It's not nice to be conned, I get it. A guy once conned me out of 10 quid in front of Kings Cross Station in the 90s and I felt shit about that.
But you have been. Right now, you are throwing good money after bad. You aren't starting from where you were before you threw all your savings at these crooks. You are starting from now, and you are falling for the sunk cost fallacy.
You aren't getting your money back. Quit while you're behind. I'm sorry.

I have something to say to those who said to us, when we told you that cryptocurrency was a tulip mania style bubble built on bluster, bullshit and suckers, that we didn’t understand and were just bitter about missing out. It is as follows:

There is one good use for cryptocurrencies - crime.
Which is the only reason I can conceive of that Bitcoin has risen all this year. After we destroy most of our ecosystem, Bitcoin will be seen by the survivors as one of the many signs of the collective mental illness of our society.

Dark arts mastery: Created a Linux x86 VM on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Within that Linux VM, created a docker container of Ubuntu with some personalised stuff.
On that container, built another one with the OpenWRT builder for RPi 4
Used that docker container to build a new OpenWRT image
Booted it on a spare RPi 4 and restored the backup of my OpenWRT config to it.
Took my actual OpenWRT router down, inserted the flash card I'd just created, and powered it back up.
Everything. Worked.
If you roll your own router, it's useful to know that you can recreate it were it to go tits-up, and I can!
like this
OpenWRT is useful (using it on two APs currently), but boy can networking and setting it up be an endless circle of confusion:(
Good luck!
Got a box for a router now, so it’s going to be pfSense or OpnSense for now. Hoping they will give me lots of good features.
But swapping over will be a bit of a nervous thing. But also why I need APs 😀
Also running on open software, because I don’t trust networking stuff anymore. Especially not the terrible ISPs:(
@Becky I'll also note that you can't bridge VMs on 2 different VLANs to the same physical ethernet port on UTM and if you try, neither will work.
I discovered this in the traditional manner.
(UTM on a different VLAN to the one the Mac is using natively is fine, this only applies to VMs)
Which is why my Mac Mini has TWO ethernet ports both connected now.

I have no advice, I'm just noting how autocorrupt has changed Platignum to platinum. Also, ironically, the old Platignum factory in Royston has long gone, having been roughly where the platinum refinery is

Oh wait, there is a Japanese company named Platinum who also do pens, and no relation to the English company whose products were once so ubiquitous

While there are things in the cuisine of the USA that we, as Europeans, should take note of, they are far fewer and further between than most Americans like to think.
However, I am utterly persuaded that they're right about eggs "over easy".
I will not be taking questions.
@rochelimit I can’t handle anything spicy (as in I get very sick from it) so I’ve never tried them, so I’ll just have to take your word for it:)
Also lots of cereal and peanut related stuff went down here. If that’s your thing.

It's like the cheapest cotton T-shirt is about a quarter the price of the cheapest 30x30cm square of cotton fabric. But if you don't want your fabric made of T-shirt material, you have to pay the extra.
