— Edit March 2026: Since July 2025, the BBC has completely blocked access to BBC Sounds for all users outside the UK. The live streams themselves are not geo-blocked, though – only the BBC’s own apps and websites are. The…
I think I was a bit harsh in my earlier review of the Weducer Cup when I basically discredited to-go deposit systems. Since then, my opinion has changed somewhat and I’d like to see more options and systems that make…
— Edit September 2023: Also used recently for a fresh install of Thunderbird 115. Still needed in that version too. — Some CalDAV providers, such as Nextcloud, seem to have issues when integrating with Thunderbird. Particularly if you’re running your…
10 years ago Armand van Helden and A-Trak released the track Barbra Streisand as Duck Sauce. A quirky anthem to New York, though I didn’t clock it as one at the time. The track was on heavy rotation regardless, because…
