We already do - and play it with them on our family creative and survival servers.

I regret ever giving my kids access to Roblox. They haven’t had any bad interactions as far as I know but the content mill of poor knock offs is just depressing. They learnt the highlights of Squid Game from “games” that went viral on the platform.

My youngest wants to graduate to Fortnite and hyper-monetisation aside I’ve agreed they can have it on the family playstation if they drop Roblox.

I don’t quite follow what this is. Is it a from scratch implementation of the vscode experience or a fork which has removed propriety and telemetry?

Is it worth raising an issue with the project? Also enable logging to see if there are any clues as to why a rescan is being done?

Syncthing should have inotify support which allows it to watch for changes rather than polling. Does that help?

It’s easy to be a party of protest in opposition but they are very quickly finding out how messy governing can be.

Something tells me Kier wasn’t quite as ready for government as he thought he was. I guess for advisers once they become the story their position becomes untenable.

I work for a company that makes money supporting FLOSS. Our members pay fairly hefty membership fees because they have a vested interest in their chips being well supported by Linux and the wider ecosystem. That money funds common projects they all benefit from all well as numerous maintainers in projects keeping those projects ticking.

The engineers on the project I mostly work on are predominantly paid to work on it. We value our hobbyist itch scratchers (~10% off contributors) but it’s commercial money that keeps those patches reviewed and flowing.

In other reporting it did seem he was proactive in contacting the parliamentary authorities once he received advice on the donations. The spouse situation is tricky because his wife isn’t an elected official or even a political operative. However I doubt the donations would have been made of she doesn’t sometimes appear with her husband on official occasions.

Also the pearl clutching by the Tories is hypocrisy of the highest order given some of the stuff their members got away with.

Still it’s not a good look and hopefully the party officials are making sure other ministers are up-to-date on all declarations. You don’t want this to be the start of a string of stories.

That was my thought at the time. There were multiple Brexit’s being discussed during the referendum. It was a recipe for no one being happy with the result.

If we ever decide to go back in I hope we’ve learnt our lesson and either make parliament make the deal and be accountable for it or a two stage referendum, in principle and then on the negotiated entrance terms.

QEMU is always going to focus on emulation fidelity first and there are few shortcuts. With floating point the differences aren’t generally in the numbers but in how the NaNs and other edge cases are handled. If you want to execute FP heavy code you should be cross compiling anyway.

QEMU absolutely will use hardware floating point where it can but only when it will give the correct results. FEX and Box64 are user mode emulators which achieve their speed by avoiding emulation where they can buy thunking at API boundaries.

Btrfs never really worked out for me (I think default COW doesn’t play nice with VM images) and ext4 works great.

Pretty much. From v8.0 onwards all the extra features are indicated by id flags. Stuff that is relevant to kernel mode will generally be automatically handled by the kernel patching itself on booting up and in user space some libraries will select appropriately accelerated functions when the ISA extensions are probed. There are a bunch off advisory instructions encoded in the hint space that will be effectively NOPs on older hardware but will enhance execution if run on newer hardware.

If you want to play with newer instructions have a look at QEMUs “max” CPU.

Virt-manager isn’t super scriptable but the underlying libvirt can be controlled by virsh which is a shell interface to libvirt. You can use both at the same time, e.g. start and stop via virsh and access to gui container via virt-manager/virt-viewer.

For that £9 I get 15Gb of data (including EU roaming). One of my kids gets their phone with unlimited calls/texts + 5Gb of data for £5. I doubt I’m ever going to need more than that as on a recent holiday with heavy use I didn’t even get close to exceeding the usage limits.

I don’t if if it was a pay rise or just he’d done more work last year (extra voiceover work for coronations etc).

The main pain with CRB checks is having to go through it for every thing. You can’t just apply once and get the certificate and I don’t think the organisation your applying from makes a material difference to the checks that are done.

Well duh. We definitely need a much stronger focus on public health and primary care rather than leaving problems on waiting lists until they are harder (and more expensive) to solve.
