Bumble bees do not produce large amounts of honey.
They keep enough food for a couple of days bad weather, but otherwise they don’t overproduce at all.

And the SM57 for things you don’t need a screen on.

How many pictures of my arse does the instance need to keep the zuckerbots away?

Network Rail (who own and maintain the track/infrastructure) are state run.
It was privatised for about 5 years, it was a disaster, and it was brought back in house.
Trains are run by TOCs, though these are being gradually coming back to the state too.

The honest answer is, we have a fuckton of track, much of which has been there since victorian times.
Couple that with diesel-electric trains that run at 125mph already, a lot of track that doesn’t get that much use, and the electrification number is low.

We’re slowly getting there.
New lines are electric from the start, and electrification projects are rolling out.
It can be a pain in the ass though (GWML, for example. We had to order bi-mode trains to continue down to the westcountry, and while the electric part was completed.)

Plus the issue that any track that’s busy enough to prioritise electrification on is going to be more complex because of the impact any downtime causes on a busy route.

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

I guess in reality, a NSFW instance could probably also host SFW.

But it’s less likely that someone running a SFW would want the additional headache of hosting NSFW.

The reason for this (imv), is that hosting for general and nsfw communities are very different kettles of fish.

For general communities, you want lots of consideration, nuance, and nudging when moderating and setting what is acceptable content. As this helps to gradually build positive self regulating communities.

For NSFW, you have to be hair trigger deleting stuff, or you just end up hosting horrible shit.

I have respect for the guys willing to deal with hosting NSFW content, because it’s more than I’d ever be comfortable with!

I can absolutely see that happening in vsphere.
