Nice one, OpenRailTimes[0] is a similar style, but split in to smaller local sections by rail company and area.

I also like SignalBox[1] maps for their more traditional geographic layout, and for "less map -- more data", with accurate times that trains pass through stations and junctions, then RealTimeTrains[2] is hard to beat.

Good call, I've had success with:

     pandoc -f gfm -t typst -o file.typ file.md 

and as you'll know it's easy to add a Template if required.

You know that "this dude" is basically the UK Governments version of the NSA, right?

It's just one press of the G key in Vim, or Alt > in Emacs. Even nano has Alt / to jump to the end of a file.

I find those preferable to reading things in reverse order, but Vim opens up at the last location anyway so it's usually just there.

If you like things like this you'll probably enjoy

Better to think of it that it changes at 01:00 UTC, which takes care of the parts of Europe that are 2 or 3 hours ahead (instead of CET's 1 or 2), and the UK going "forward at 1 and back at 2"

"Europe DST changes at 01:00 UTC" - much simpler ;)

Perhaps a shell alias for:

TZ="Etc/UTC" xclock -analog -update 1 -norender -hl grey -fg grey -bg black

(or similar) would also suffice.

Don't be silly, - the MacBook Pro's are just used to RDP to the Azure Windows VMs ;)

You might like Yazi[0], although the layout is more "modern" (like ranger / nnn etc.) uses tabs for multiple different views.

You might like MerrySky.net as a free and ad-free web based replacement that you can drop on your homescreen.

I thought it was quite a fun pun for the same reason.

tmux users can use it's `capture-pane` command, either before or after the fact if history is set big enough. There are several helpful flags worth researching.

e.g. `tmux capture-pane -pS - > ~/tmux.log` in a shell to save the history of that pane, or just `prefix+: capture-pane ...` from within tmux

You might like FreePBX[0] for a PFSense-style "PBX appliance" with easy WebUI. Just grab the ISO (or shell script to install on Debian). It's built on Asterisk, and more than adequate for the task. Whilst FreeSWITCH is awesome it's way more complex and overkill for this use case.

You might consider Windows 10 LTSC IoT edition, it's supported until 2031 iirc.

There's always paper-age[0] for those who want to add symmetric encryption (via age) to their qr-encoded secrets! ;)

Edit: I now see it was already mentioned.

You can also use `gsettings set ...` on the CLI.

Don't forget to accidentally make a typo in "regards" so you sign off just calling them retards.

The betting aspect features in the short mockumentary film from which this comes: Tube Poker (2005) by Simon Levene.

The premise is straight out of Simon Levene's short film from 2005, "Tube Poker". The point-allocations are described as in the article at around 03:45.

Very reminiscent of "Tube Poker" (2005), A short mockumentary film by Simon Levene.

On that note, the BBC deployed a temporary 5G SA non-public-network to broadcast King Charles' Coronation, giving over 1Gbps uplink over 1km of the procession route. More details are in the award-winning white paper linked from this[0] blog post.

Excuse your self from the table, and get up to go and ask. Wait staff should be used to being discrete, and you get to make an informed decision.

They were sometimes deployed for "incoming calls only" as used by certain service desks, but more often when directly connected to a particular end point. In this case lifting the handset would immediately signal the local Switchboard Operator (or perhaps other designated number) in a large building. These use cases have included situations where the public might have access, but not the right to call anyone e.g. behind a panel in a lift ("elevator") for emergency use. At some point the function became known as "hotline" in certain PBXs.

Going back a little further it was common not to have a dial at all, with the operator being signalled immediately, literally patching your call manually through a series of other locations.

Assumed … or just read the Terms & Conditions / AUP like we did 10 years ago when they were using "Ingress" for location collection & tracking.

Marketers seem to think so, or they wouldn't waste their time calling.

DuckDuckGo's search page now offers "Anonymous access to popular AI models, including GPT-4o mini, Claude 3, and open-source Llama 3.1 and Mixtral."

Hard G in GIF as in Graphics (which is what it stands for),

Soft G in GPT as in Generative (which is what it stands for)... Simple.

You might get away with "Gippity" in some contexts.
