Lets get real, they been invading countries left right and centre since the wall fell down. If they are saying "its bad", then more reason to do it

There is also a lot to do with the cost of electricity vs gas and how badly insulated houses are. Cries in solid walls late 1800's house 😭

The dream: EWI -> heat pump -> knock down shed -> build insulated shed with solar panels! But who has spare money for that!

I got a cable channel going between floors with a backbox on the ground floor wall and a hidden plastic guide channel for the cables on floor above.

so wanted to ask, is there a faceplate that hides cables into trunking to a side in a nice way? got some d-line trunking that would come to this box but id prefer not to have cables sticking out of it and just pop into the trunking.

pic of the box location, i need the cables to pop out towards the brown colour wall (but probably going up first to coven level) but would like the cables to not be visible

Sorry to hear about your boy, however short is our time with them, we do our best to make their life enjoyable and while it is painful, they do love us back. So remeber and cherish of all the good times you two had.

My about 8 year old girl (had her for 4), got diagnosed with an aggressive cancer last week. Nothing we can do but let her enjoy all the luxuries of her short remaining life. I am sure she knows she is cherished and had her best life with us.

Hiya, anyone has recommendations for bike carriers for cats? I would prefer something in the front so i can keep an eye on my cat mostly for going to the vet.

Wifes bike is one of those folding ones so there is no carry bit at the back so looking for something that either secures to the handlebars or between the seat and handlebars.

Seen a few whicker basket types, but never used those before. Would appreciate any recommendations 🐱

A Qnap NAS has a drive with some bad sectors, I want to RMA it, but before just want to figure out how to prepare a drive? It's part of a raid 5 setup of 4 drives unencrypted. So I want to remove it and wipe it. Got a Linux machine I can use, but never done this before.

What are common Linux tools to do that sensibly?

So I wanted to ask what are people thinking might happen with mortgage rates?

The reason for this question is, should I consider going from a 2 year fixed mortgage to a 5 year one on the basis that Trump's economic policy of tariffs is likely to not do any favours to interest rates and world economy?

I need to record information about what my cat eats and does, as she might have a food allergy and I need to track down what it is.

So I am after some kind of a user friendly locally hosted database (maybe via some kind of app), preferably Linux friendly.

It would be nice if it had similar relationships to the added image, some kind of relational DB that I can fill with data. But essentially I need to have a bunch of lookup tables to return some data specific to difference events.

Its a bit of a pain (and takes time) to have to write an entire webapp to manage all this from scratch, that's why I am looking for some kind of user friendly GUI way to do it. Surely there must be some kind of relational database managing "application" that lets you set up some lookup tables and enter data in a nice and easy GUI way to do it? sqllitebrowser doesn't count as it doesn't handle linked tables in a nice way (would be nice if its friendly for my wife to use) :)

Cheers!

Got a small walking treadmill, that now became a fire hazard, rhe motor is sparking, but replacing it seems not feasible as i cannot get a replacement part (the company stopped existing a while ago and doesn't seem like a main manufacturer). And it seems a slightly more permanent installation than not.

So looking to scrap it, but how to scrap it in London without a car? Council bulk pickup seems not to mention anything about fitness equipment and neither does the "not so local" recycling centre, tried calling it but the number goes nowhere. Its a fair trip on a taxi if i wanted to bring it to the centre and not a straightforward walk either.

So the question is, how to scrap it? Contacted a random "local" company that mentioned picking up gym equipment but they quoted £200, which is more than the bloody thing cost!

Going to email the council, but anything else i can try?

 

Using react router and have a route definition:

  {
       path: '/',
       element: <Root pageTitle={pageTitle} />,
       errorElement: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
       children: [
          ...
          {
             path: '*',
             element: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
             loader: async () => {
                throw new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
             },
          },
       ],
    },

This shows me 404 page how I want but without the rest of the root element but also the http status is reported as 200. How do I properly throw it as a 404 and show it inside root element?

 

Say I have a Films library

Is it possible to make a shortcut on the left hand side menu to a specific tag or collection from this library? I was not able to find this option.

And a side question, if I have media in multiple languages, whats the best way of signalling it? Via tags of some kind? Or {edition- labelling?

Cheers
