@babe who are these heretics voting custard creams?
Are they all non Brits who think this is some kind of cold set dessert vs whiskey battle?
...
@mgleadow If I could vote I would go for the custard creams ngl, although I am partial to a bourbon, especially with a good brew
...
@babe they are all acceptable biscuit, but are not as tolerant as bourbons are to overconsumption - the taste becomes a bit sickly and cloying
My favourite biscuit of the moment is plain chocolate digestive, and for tea dunking it's a three way fight between gingernuts, and the basic staples of rich tea and unmolested digestive

Linux 7.0 launches with enablement for Intel Nova Lake, AMD Zen 6 — major kernel update expected in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Fedora 44 first
A major kernel update, Linux 7.0, has been officially released. Although it'll take some time to show up in various Linux distros, the kernel comes with preliminary support for AMD's upcoming Zen 6 and Intel's Nova Lake.

UK's Hinkley Point C new nuclear plant delayed to 2030 as costs climb to €56 billion*, i.e. €17,500 per kW.
EDF said the first reactor at the site in Somerset will begin operations in 2030, a year later than in the last update – almost 13 years after construction work began – after a series of delays to the project.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/20/hinkley-point-c-delayed-to-2030-as-costs-climb-to-35bn?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
*) £35 bn in 2015 prices = £49 bn now = €56 bn
...
Costs of Hinkley Point C could have been even higher if not for EDF charging £1.6 billion to the parallel Sizewell C nuclear project for sharing expertise gained from Hinkley, helping to mitigate similar issues and delays.
https://www.bitget.com/news/detail/12560605210256
...
So the real actual estimate of Hinkley Point C investment cost is €58 billion. That's €18,000 per kW.
Two of those for the Netherlands (the equivalent of the four new nuclear power plants considered of 1.6 GW each) would then require €115 billion, to be put up by a new state-owned energy company.
...
And on that new delay, what's a year in this project?
In 2007, EDF Energy CEO Mr de Rivaz predicted that UK citizens would be cooking their Christmas turkeys with power from Hinkley by 2017.

@Sustainable2050 Meanwhile, our local supplier of solar power kits (not the cheapest in the country) will sell you 1 kW of panels plus inverter and cables ready to plug in for €400. Retail price:
https://webshop.cedel.nl/nl/Zonnepanelen-Set-2-Panelen-1000-Watt
You could order today and pick them up and install them on Monday. No need to wait until 2030.
So, £17500 / kWh vs €400 / kWh.
2030 vs Monday.
Need to buy uranium to run it vs uses the sun.
Tell me how this makes sense.

@hembrow @Sustainable2050
@martinvermeer
@urlyman
I think the answer to that, and this applies to the new round of UK nuclear approvals as well as the old ones, is that only reactor designs that produce plenty of plutonium for weapons use after reprocessing get approved in the UK.
No thorium pebble bed low-waste safe design for you, there’s always bags of money to keep the plutonium economy going.
SMRs fit into that perfectly, hence the govt interest.
![[?]](https://fediscience.org/system/accounts/avatars/000/000/371/original/0eb56f9dead074f9.jpg)
@hembrow @Sustainable2050 But, intermittency. And those are prices per kilowatt nameplate, not kWh. Still a good deal even at 10% capacity factor.
...
@martinvermeer Tell me about the intermittency for Hinkley C before 2030 (if it even opens on that date). Solar panels installed today are a lot more useful than nuclear at some not yet certain date.
Hinkley C has been going on so long that it's a total farce now. I used to live nearby and I protested against the original plans for the third nuclear station on that site (for a Westinghouse PWR) when I was a teenager. More than 40 years ago, in the early 1980s !
Our protests didn't change anything. Thatcher went on to cancel it on the grounds that the electricity produced by Hinkley C would be far too costly. I didn't agree often with Thatcher, but on this point she was right.
Anyway, it's truly an ill wind that blows absolutely no-one at all any good. My sister still lives nearby and she's been doing quite well by letting out rooms to people who work on the Hinkley site ;-)
@Sustainable2050
Unfortunately plug-in/balcony solar isn’t legal in the UK at this point. There has been talk of legalising it but I don’t think any of it has made it into law.

@EF @sam @hembrow I know that in the UK, the inverter needs to be a separate unit - I believe the small ones in the German systems are not approved for use in the UK. There is an interesting, if brief discussion here of fitting in a British home
https://www.renewsolar.co.uk/projects/integrating-solar-into-your-home/
...
@Wen @sam @hembrow thanks for the reply and linl. Interestingly, the inverter on the Renew site looked (visually) the same to the Dutch link posted earlier but do get standalone inverters will likely not have the relevant technologies to directly connect to a third party supply.
So syncing to the mains and inverter approval seemed to be the issues mentioned. Sounds interesting.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

Legal quandary...
A web site clearly targeting and selling to UK users - with "UK" in the domain name, pricing and charging in £, and no indication on the site that it is not UK based...
Does UK consumer protection law still apply if it turns out they are actually overseas (Hong Kong)?
Using Amex to buy, does normal UK consumer credit law still apply - i.e. Amex liable for a breach of contract / goods not as described?
Is this a known thing?

@revk the consumer protection is unlikely to be meaningful as it can't be enforced overseas.
Your Section 75 rights are enforceable - so your (UK based) credit card provider will be jointly liable.

@revk I think it doesn't matter what they pretend to be. They are a foreign company, so will be treated as such legally. But you do have a strong argument that they have intentionally misled, which should support whatever protections there are left (e.g. s75 and any other anti-fraud protection that might apply to a UK consumer dealing with a foreign company.)

@revk I don’t believe what they pretend to be matters, if they’re selling to a UK consumer, then that law applies. In the same way that the Online Safety Act applies worldwide to sites accessed from the UK.
But as others have noted, enforcement is quite another matter.
![[?]](https://cdn.mastodon.org.uk/accounts/avatars/109/276/772/405/158/471/original/c4fe528a4c77fe90.png)
@revk IANAL: but IIRC, if the item is sold to a consumer in the UK then the UK consumer act etc apply (something like https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/digital-services-tax/dst33000 )- enforcement may be a different issue. I *think* I recall a case where "illegal" TV sticks were sold to UK customers, UK law therefore applied, courts ended up asking some ISPs to block the site.
@revk sounds very similar to how amazon.co.uk works other than a different physical location.

@revk That sounds a bit grey - I mean do they claim anywhere to be UK based? If they did that would be deception; but hmm many companies have sites targeting UK customers and if it was a legal (but not UK produced thing) that would be OK; if it's just the UK in the domainname that's hmm - I mean if it was full on union jacks, bulldogs and claiming to be a UK company that would be obvious.

@codemonkeymike I figured as much :/ I have one of the Lenovo arm ones and it's fantastic little machine, solidly built, battery lasts forever and they were SUPER cheap even new. It took me a solid week to even break into it to allow me to get root and ATTEMPT to install anything, and even then there weren't drivers for half the devices, took a ton of hacking to even get it functional. It's a shame they're likely all slated for landfill due to this :/

@Tak you don't need to carry a driver's licence in the u.K if you drive everywhere, you just need to be ready to take it to the police station the following day.You don't have to carry it.

your driving licence
a valid insurance certificate
a valid MOT certificate (if your vehicle needs one)
If you do not have the documents with you at the time, you may be asked to take them to a police station within 7 days."

@wmd Fair enough. But it’s hard to have infrastructure monitor itself. If it is down, it can’t tell you.

I've been using nagios, but I wouldn't call that simple though. It doesn't require an ecosystem though, and for simple monitoring of whether things are up or not it isn't that complex. But you do have to navigate the configuration files etc, so probably not what you're looking for.

I have this weird #IPv6 problem and it's driving me crazy.
So, hear me out.
I have a #wireguard tunnel set up to a VPS because my ISP doesn't offer IPv6. So all IPv6 traffic is routed over the tunnel. Obviously, this means the MTU should be reduced, so I've configured radvd to broadcast an MTU of 1420.
All fine. IPv6 works. I can visit websites, stream audio and video, ssh all over the place, all over IPv6.
Except for #thunderbird. It'll take ages trying to send an email, then complain the server timed out. It'll be unable to save drafts or sent mail to the imap server, complaining about server timeouts.
So I try sending mail with msmtp from the same machine, all is well, no timeouts whatsoever. It's just thunderbird that's being difficult.
I've been staring at this problem for weeks now, done all sorts of tcpdumps along the path from my computer to my mail server. Double-checked that ICMP6 type 2 is passed along neatly across all firewalls involved.
It's got me stumped.
I'm not expecting anyone reading this to be able to provide a solution, I just wanted to share that it's driving me crazy!

@gmc Instead of advertising a lower MTU, consider using nftables to clamp the TCP MSS. In your forward chain:
tcp flags syn tcp option maxseg size set rt mtu
This means you can use the full MTU on the LAN and the right thing should happen when packets cross to the limited interface.

@gmc I have basically the same setup, IPSec tunnel for my IPv6 subnet, and radvd says MtU 1280. I can't remember why 1280, but Thunderbird works so maybe try that?
Does the client actually set mtu correctly? What does tracepath6 say?

OK, so, turns out my weird #IPv6 problem wasn't a weird IPv6 problem afterall. It was a weird #thunderbird problem. I deleted all it's config and cache on one machine, reconfigured my account details in a fresh new profile and the problem seems to be gone.
What the f*ck, what kind of software does this to its users? I don't even...
Ah well, I guess it's now usable again. Except I need to spend some time restoring all settings and accounts etc. And do the same on the other machines where I use thunderbird.

@goetz Hmm interesting, but probably not it either, as there is a successful setup of the IPv6 TCP connection in my case, and also the SMTP transaction gets underway but then just stalls before completing.
The SMTP server is sendmail btw, the IMAP server is cyrus-imapd.
Also, I refuse to remove the AAAA record, I want IPv6 to work :)
...
...
Looks like I remove the #IPv6 AAAA now because of hanging "Copy to sent folder". Thunderbird again sent the mail, hangs now on copy. I forgot to CC: myself so killing Thunderbird now will make me loose a importand mail. Netstat shows IPv6 to P993 is established, and tcpdump shows some, not much, traffic from pc to mailserver on p993. This make me nut. I can connect to mailservers sogo web ui with IPv6 without problem too and mobile from same lan has no problem to read mails.
...
...
@gmc I will remove AAAA for now, but I do think AI is needed as much as a defect toilette.
will most likely end pretty bad for masses of humans. I hope one can deactivate #AI in #Thunderbird, otherwise I maybe have to follow your way. @goetz
...
It looks like I solved the #Thunderbird #IPv6 #problem by setting
mailnews.tcptimeout 100-> 250
in Thunderbird #config . Unsure this is permanent fix, but till now the problems are gone. Unsure what Thunderbird does, because network is fast here and the sogo/dovecot/postfix mail server is locally here.

Their primary claim to fame seems to be constructing just about everything with (unstable) advanced robotics and software. From doors to lifts, to toaster ovens, drinks machines, vacuum cleaners, and "personal massage units"—everything has been built with a full GPP or Genuine People Personality. This means that even a set of airlock doors has emotions, hopes, dreams, intelligence, and worse of all, the capacity for boredom. It should come as no surprise then, that the majority of these devices have a neurotic streak a mile wide.
The company motto is "Share and Enjoy." This is widely adaptable, from synthesised drinks to the company of a robot, or "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with", as their robots are described as by the aforementioned Marketing Department.

@siosm congratulations!! This is most certainly well deserved, although I'm sure the other candidates were also wonderful.

On 23 Dec 2025, the #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.
In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.
UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.
If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.
The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out.

Against a black background, a photo of Greta Thunberg is overlaid with prison bars. On the black background, the capitalised headline above the photo reads "THE TRIAL OF GRETA THUNBERG".
Below the photo, in lower case, is written the phrase "accused of terrirism for holding a paper sign".
