Well indeed, that's why I want to move the VM off the NAS and onto something with some hardware acceleration. Are there any remote frontend options for KVM?

I don't remember exactly but it's something to do with new ~~safety and emissions~~ fuel efficiency regulations brought about in the 90s(?) that would fine manufacturers who didn't meet the new standards. "Light trucks" such as the F150 were exempt so manufacturers started pushing those hard as the fashionable choice.

Fast forward 30 years, the regulations haven't changed, and here we are. There's a good video about it somewhere...

Yeah here we go: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

Yeah, minus the animation it took me a couple hours. Well worth the time spent!

Firefox. I'm fairly convinced it's something to do with UBO or one of the blocklists but I've never taken the time to dig into it properly.

You've reminded me of a similar frustration that I've never found the answer to - though it may be adblock related - in that whenever I open a link to eBay it completely wipes the history for that tab. Or possibly it opens a new tab and kills the parent. Either way I always forget about it until the next time and then it drives me mad all over again.

Nice! I'm learning Python right now so I'm going to take this and make a script out of it.

Back in the 2000s I used to have an app on my PC where I could enter my salary or hourly wage, hit a button when I went for a poop, hit it again when I got back and it would tell me how much I'd earned on the can.

Wonder if there's anything like that for phones these days?

I can't accept drum and bass, we need jungle I'm afraid.

Yeah this. Shortly before he left the church, a friend of mine's pastor told him not to recycle because it delays the end times. These people want Armageddon and think they're doing god's work by hurrying it along.

Yeah I'd have been interested to know how long it would take to suitably warm up from the surface. I guess we'll never know.

I have an app called Star Walk 2 that does something very similar. Notifications about cool shit happening and then helps you to look in the right direction for it, including ISS fly-bys.

It doesn't excuse it but in my town there is literally nothing (free) for teenagers to do besides one lowly skate ramp. Bored kids find their own fun and some of the blame for their destructive behaviour must lie with the town planners who ignore the younger population.
