I'm fully in the reMarkable camp - bought both generations as pre-orders, both still seeing regular use (one as my work note device, the other as an around-the-house note device). I'm very happy with them, I've enjoyed watching the software and features evolve and grow over the years, and I'll...

An update to this - I got one of the stupidly ultra-wide monitors last summer, tried a few window managers, and did end up sticking with herbstluftwm. I gave fwvm a whirl, but from memory the single viewpoint didn't work for what I wanted. Slowly getting everything how I want it, next up is...

That could be interesting, a new generation of even higher level languages. Maybe also the rise of a much cheaper workforce, and how about a resurgence of the so-far disappointing no-code movement? We might also see huge strides in formal language models, maybe also semantic recognition. How...

Replace? Hopefully not until I've retired! Given the current crop of AI tools, though, I'm not worried. At best they're a time-saving convenience for boilerplate, or a supercharged knowledge base, and at worst they're sloppy, uninformed, and massively reduce the quality of a codebase. I think...

I watched this over the weekend too, hoping it might be a winner along the lines of Shadow and Bone or the first series of Locke & Key. I got through it without issue, but I found it only alright. The world is interesting, and I've just finished reading the Rivers of London series so the setting...

Ahh, chrispy, I can only apologise for swanning in like that! Great minds though, right? And two wildly different uses of the same base.

Leonard Battalion Reporting Now I've heard there was a secret chord, If played just right, enslaves a horde; Believe within music lies awesome power! They move like this: left foot, swing fist, Banners unfold, mind's balance shifts, As from the speakers crackles every order: Listen up now...

Tbh, that's the first I've heard of it! My initial manjaro outing was with i3-gaps, which I liked but ended up wiping because it was doing weird things with my boot drives in the bios. Then a community edition using awesome - decidedly not awesome. From that to an install of endeavour without...

I'm also all-in on the linux train, for about seven years - when I started my current job the only machine available at the time was running ubuntu 14.04, and when given the choice between a new ubuntu machine or a macbook, I went with ubuntu. At the time I'd just bought a new graphics card...

This was one of Steven Moffat's episodes - he wrote/was involved with arguably some of the best NuWho episodes under RTD: The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances - S1E9/10, set in the London Blitz, and marked the first appearance of Captain Jack. The monster was a child in a gas mask repeatedly...

Agreed. Watched the first four, and whilst it's certainly not reaching the heights of the series in its prime, it is skewing towards "enjoyable". I'm liking the interaction with the Dark Passenger, the story is low-key but interesting (not having a bonkers big bad, like in the last couple of...

Whilst at the time it felt like the RTD episodes were a dragging, soapy mess, in hindsight, to me at least, it's still some of the more watchable Who of the revival era. I'd even prefer to re-watch Tenant's Magical Misery Tour farewell year over the newer series. So, I'm cautiously optimistic...

Like others, I started and enjoyed the first few, bit haven't got round to episode six, and have no real urgency to. It's alright, and there are some good ideas, but it just isn't hooking me. I had higher hopes, with it coming from J. H. Wyman (*Fringe* is one of my favourite series, and I was...

Thank you for the reviews, mentions, and votes! Been a long time since I did one of these - nice to see the 'old traditions' are still going strong. Honourable mentions: @Marvin - Deadly Sin: No.5 @Cat's Cradle - I've Rummaged Through Your Pack @Lawrence Twiddy - Missed "I Love You's" @mosaix -...

Started it, but couldn't get through the first episode. You can see what they're trying for, with the post-apocalyptic tribes, little technology, everyone back to nature gubbins... but it's just not interesting, or done particularly well. Didn't like any of the characters, either, and it goes...

I believe it used to be a Now TV, but as you say it no longer is. Doesn't look like it be streamed anywhere, though it's available to buy from a number of places (lowest looks to be £13.99 per series on Chili, whatever that is. £14.99 on Amazon): JustWatch - The Orville Hulu has the rights in...

Hole in the Ground The landscape of coins shifted like shale as she fled half sinking, half falling. Instinct flung her sideways when her back prickled with heat, and fear kept her from looking at the bubbling, golden river where she had been. Above, the vaulted ceiling creaked and cracked and...

VB, are you entirely set on a self-hosted, local solution?

With the news of the new series, and with time to kill whilst the fifth series of The Expanse is drip-fed to us (I love it, but I've lost all patience with watching things weeks to week, so I'm waiting), I thought I'd revisit Dexter. It was the first thing I ever binged (series 1-5, almost ten...

It's in my top three series of all time, absolute belter. I agree with you on the tension - slowly starts ramping up from the very first episode, and doesn't let up over the course of the entire show. I did a rewatch over the first couple of weeks of lockdown, and the tension was just as...
