Definitely. Most of the time communities are friendly and supportive - but I've noticed too that there are users who seem deliberately scratchy and saying things that are looking to provoke and who become fizzy if they're challenged in any way about something they've said. I wondered if it's much younger users who are coming from other places having picked up the "fight me" attititude there.

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

It's a php file you drop into a folder that creates a gallery of the files (including pdfs). There are security settings and visual customisations you can change. If you know what you're doing you can access the file remotely, too. I've used it for a while and found it helpful.

Good thing too... if those rich people had to pay tax then they'd leave the country. Who would pay all that tax that they don't pay if they did leave... er... er.... it made sense when the posh man said it on the radio this morning and his poshness made me believe it with all my poverty-stricken heart.

For me it's a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it's quite an interesting one rather than "stupid". Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the "art". Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?

Isn't there a conspiracy theory that everything on show at the British Museum is a replica anyway and that the real artifacts are carefully stored elsewhere?

It's great. I've been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

You might be in with a chance... of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.

I'm also not rich to start with and didn't go to public school either. I guess I just need to learn my place and celebrate the achievements of others.

Anyone able to give me career advice about how to become a Thames Water executive? Doesn't look hard to do and you keep getting bonuses!

I struggled to understand his Brexit stance - a bit like Mick Lynch. Something about EU membership preventing future nationalisation.

I'm more interested in his other international views... though I should really just look it up.

[–] tenebrisnox@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Which ones? Genuinely interested.

That's probably the best way of dealing with it.

 

Can anyone help me with Pinry?

I've run Pinry in a Docker container on a Synology NAS for a couple of years and it's always worked great with no problem... up until I upgrades DSM to 7.2.

Pinry still works fine if I upload saved images. If I try to use the Firefox extension or paste in the url it does nothing. It must be a permissions issue that changed when I upgraded the DSM. I've tinkered with all sorts of setting to no avail and the logs say nothing. I've done the obvious searches online to see if I can find a solution.

Does anyone who hosts Pinry know what the problem is? (It's bound to be REALLY obvious). Thanks in advance.

Doubt being thrown at the accuracy of the KS2 tests. Again. Bearing in mind that these tests cost somewhere in the region of £45-50 million a year to administer (plus the time, staffing and resources primary schools put in) surely there are better, cheaper ways of monitoring pupil progress? Secondary schools frequently ignore data coming from primary and SATs results only seem to have a use in the equally questionable activity of predicting GCSE outcomes.

As a parent of a Year 6 child, I’ve been horrified at the pressure put on children and then - once the SATs were over - hardly any teaching going on (my son barely had a maths lesson after the tests and his time at school filled with “fun” activities like watching movies). I’d prefer my son’s education to be focused on his learning, not some high-stakes test. And I’d like it to carry on to the point he left school.

 

I'm just about to start a complete re-watch of the show from the start. Are there any REALLY GOOD podcasts that discuss episode-by-episode.

I've already listened to Diane (which is fantastic and I'll probably listen to again)... but are there any others worth listening to?

 

What is the state of current Big Finish Doctor Who?

I used to keep up with - and enjoy - the monthly ranges until they turned into the boxed sets which I was less engaged by. I recently tried Stranded and didn't like it at all.

I get the impression that BF is producing far too much material which isn't a good as it used to be. Is this the case?

 

Has anyone read this? Would they recommend it?
