I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to "safe" Basra.

That's sort of besides the point really, though, no?

If you're tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you're responsible for are aren't you?

But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he'll they're actually doing.

This is pretty much the main reason I'm struggling! A few bucks a month for GCN was amazing - now I'm stuffed!

 

So with the demise of GCN+ where are you all watching this season's racing?

I really don't want to subscribe to discovery+ for cycling (as I'm unlikely to actually watch any of the other content), so I'm looking for suitable alternatives (legitimate or other).

Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it's more accessible to non-tech literate?

Regrettably I know many professionals whose grasp of written English is worse than OP's.

I've found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I'm looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.

Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.

How does the law require them to be greedy?

I just assumed that it was shareholders.

So it's likely that I'll have 2-5 people accessing the central info.

It's one household so they'll be on the same network but ideally I'd like to be able to sync calendars (and the associated info) at any given time online.

That's where I run out of knowledge, essentially. Setting up a basic CalDAV server (like Baikal for example) isn't beyond the realm of possibility, it's just knowing how to actually get it online.

Would I need my own server in my home, or can I host it similarly to my Wordpress website, for example?

Yeah, CalDAV looks like the best fit from my limited searching, it's just actually putting that into a usable system that I can use that I'm struggling with!

I don't mind a bit of proprietary-ness, what I'm after is controlling how and with whom I can share my data.

Essentially the goal is to have a family's worth of accounts with Calendars, To-Dos/Reminders, and Notes that I can back up myself but still allows syncing to phones/PCs, etc. and basically a central calendar for 'global' (ie. Whole family) events.

I (and plenty of people I know) regularly attend live music, with on the door prices that are equivalent to the cost of a few drinks. But equally I've been prices out of seeing some of my favourite acts because they're big enough to demand higher costs so I totally get where you're coming from.

I think what I'm getting at could better be phrased as; people don't want to see small acts much these days.

There's loads of acts like Ed Sheeran, but if you're into Ed, not just music like him, it's going to seem like it's impossible to watch it live, when in actuality there's a lot of gigging musicians who are out there with accessible performances.

 

I'm tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I'd like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else's servers.

I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I'm totally at a loss.

My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can't be too hard but I'm also incredibly stupid.

Please help?!

 

I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)

Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!
