I hit this too, maybe on the order of one day every month or two?

I'm using a fairly mainstream ISP in a fairly mainstream country.

I don't get why I seem to have such a hard time. I've kept the same IP for months.

But the worst thing overall is that it just doesn't acknowledge it.

Want to block me? OK. But tell me that! Don't just make me tick a box again and again and untick it. It's infuriating.

This doesn't seem to work at all, maybe a Firefox issue, but it tells me to insert my security key when I generate passkey. I don't have a security key, so I'm totally at a loss of what to do. (And somewhat poor style on Firefox's behalf, to not explain what is going on to someone who doesn't know what one is)

Do you have any write-up about this or more info? It sounds like a useful use case but I haven't yet got it right

Side-note: Depending on what you're after, you can navigate to `sftp://` (and `fish://`) URLs in Dolphin & most KDE (Qt?) applications directly, you don't need to use a sshfs mount, and this way it doesn't stall (or screw up system sleep, which is another problem I have with sshfs mounts).

Somehow or another, if you open a file in Dolphin on one of these network addresses in a non-KDE application, it seems to pass it through using a FUSE filesystem, which does work somewhat but not 100% in my experience (I don't really know how this works or remember when it falls down). The terminal view in Dolphin also `cd`s to this virtual directory.

Of course, if you really really wanted the sshfs mount for some reason, then this workaround doesn't help you.

Agree with this. Either you'll get SMS OTP (which is free for the user, at least in the UK?) or they will send some 'calculator' or multi-colour-code-scanner device that generates OTPs. (Honestly this last one was the most impressive bank security system I'd seen yet; for every individual transaction, you'd have to scan the code and the scanner device would tell you what you were authorising, then you put the PIN in and get a OTP to put back in the bank)

This is basically my main gripe with Zed atm — it's very keen to autodownload and execute binaries.

I have a light fork that tries to nullify this, but I don't think I've managed to catch all the instances.

Other than that, it's a very nice editor in my opinion.

This will sound a bit odd, but I don't necessarily want to pay in a way that makes it look like I'm paying for the AI rather than the editor.

The Mowgli project is reusing the mainboard of the original lawnmower (might be enhanced with a RPi though). It's not currently as well-baked (or at least, well-trodden) as the default OpenMower approach which does indeed involve ripping out the mainboard and replacing it.

Can only disagree there (I built an OpenMower based on a SA650B), in a rural area, also cannot hear it from about 10m away, even at night. Though I don't run it at night except when it is just finishing up from the afternoon

I would actually disagree with the final conclusion here; despite claiming to offer the same models, Copilot seems very much nerfed — cross-comparing the Copilotified LLM and the same LLM through OpenRouter, the Copilot one seems to fail much harder. I'm not an expert in the details of LLMs but I guess there might be some extra system prompt, I also notice the context window limit is much lower, which kinda suggests it's been partially pre-consumed.

In case it matters, I was using Copilot that is for 'free' because my dayjob is open source, and the model was Claude Sonnet 3.7. I've not yet heard anyone else saying the same as me which is kind of peculiar.

Maybe commuting can be a good deal sometimes, but for a 5 hour trip for 2 people with railcards, we were looking at £160ish when booked in advance (!) or £400ish if not.

If we drive our car, this is 4 hours with less than £35 of petrol (the full tank is approx £35 and it gets us there and some of the way back).

Booking in advance and having to get stressed about making it to the station on time, dealing with the frequent delays (I only started driving a year or two ago, so for many years I've been coping with the train, and genuinely it is delayed 50% or more for this journey in my experience) which can easily be another 2 hours on top etc, having to process the delay repay evidence for that, ...

Add to that, these 'cheap' fares are usually for awkward times, like arriving late at night. And then I have to get someone to pick me up from the station on the far end as well.

You can rightfully point out that my car needs maintenance too, but we have to do that anyway and I'd still argue that it's not enough to make up the difference.

Very tangentially, but a few years ago I was travelling at Christmas and the ticket machines were broken so wouldn't dispense the ticket I had already bought (for collection on departure). The station staff and train staff let us through for 2 trains, but on the 3rd train the guard was so vicious and insisted we pay for a whole new ticket for the whole journey, at full price with no railcard discounts or anything, which came to the aforementioned £400 when we had already paid £160. Was she right to do this? Maybe, but merry Christmas lol.

We were pretty miffed to say the least and it definitely spoilt the Christmas time a bit! £400 is not nothing for us to say the least. I eventually got it back by filing a chargeback with my bank. The train company never answered my e-mails or apparently even Mastercard's communications on the matter, so the ruling went to me by default. Kind of amusing in a way, but not an experience I'd like to repeat and it took 4 months.

So is the train not dire? I can't say I'm rushing to get back on it.
