Not here. I don't use anything that requires a internet connection to run, nor subscription model software.

This!
Even many great free projects have started limiting options unless you pay for a licence, I think it's stupid "cough pfsense cough" I try to keep as much locally accessable as I can who knows when quantum computing takes over it might not be safe to connect anything with valuable data to the internet "fail to prepare, prepare to fail"

Like I said pfsense came to mind first but something like redhat is another great example.

Anyone use Adobe Creative Cloud Photography?

I came from Fuji so I bought into Capture One. Pay an annual fee for it but nothing is stored or saved in the cloud. Moved to Canon, still using Capture One. It doesn't do the gimmicky fake stuff (false backgrounds) that Adobe offers.

I'm not seeing that. Went directly to the download page and selected a mirror.

Download pfSense Community Edition

pfSense is a free and open source firewall and router that also features unified threat management, load balancing, multi WAN, and more

Are you talking about commercial support subscriptions? That kind of thing I have no problem with.

No pfsense started limiting features for what they now call CE and removed support for all arm processors, you now have the choice of CE or plus plus being subscription for anything but home use. there's also been talk of CE ultimately being non-maintained most of it is hearsay but for me it just seemed the right time to get out of Dodge so I moved over to OpnSense and I'm glad I did.

Put Ceredigion on your Todo list when you hit Wales if you get chance some insane beaches on that bit of coastline.

Loads of lovely beaches down in Cornwall. When I stay there on holiday, we head down to Newquay, it's lovely around there. As mentioned before just stupid prices for general things which really annoys me for the coastal resorts... But Holywell Beach is not the biggest or the best, but its a lovely place to be

Where have you enjoyed the most??

Don't forget Brighton! The candy floss and rides at the Palace Pier are excellent! The beaches are great too! And the women there....

I decided to spend 200-300 bucks on trains and see a bit more of England before my vacation time is over... I am thinking York as I am currently based in Exeter, so that would give me a lot of nice views out the train window on journey up I expect...

Any recommendations on what I should do for my last trips? I am going to miss England, I love it here!

If your heading to York from Exeter you should definitely check out the peak District if you head to Manchester then take the train over to Sheffield the views on that stretch are pretty spectacular.

is the peak District the same terminology as the Lake District? I would like to see the Lake District.

are there any particular Manor Houses National Trusts worth touring? I like those too

Come to Hull and see if you can understand my accent, i'll make you a cup of coffee too. I can show you one of the smallest windows in England too

ThaiTaffy · May 11, 2022

The peak District is literally part of your journey via train to York I believe

Edit sorry THE smallest in a pub from 1683, yes 1683, read it and weep America

Hull is a very old place, with some nice old pubs and great friendly locals.

Space Lynx · May 24, 2022

I am currently based near Bristol, does anyone want to go half in half on renting a car and half in half on petrol and do a tour of Wales with me? It's 30 quid per day for an automatic car that includes the insurance and it gets good gas mileage. I have rented it a few times now... but its still too expensive unless you have someone to split costs with. So it would be 15 pound per day plus 50% of petrol we use...

Any takers at all?

1 Shilling & tuppance Halfpenny as near as you can get ( Decimalasion wass'nt even a proto sperm in a ballbag in 1952 ).
Nearest pub to me selling this is just over a mile away
Oh and the password needed to qualify is 1952

Tatty_Two · May 30, 2022

Maybe Barratt homes will sell their new build houses to the public for £500 which was roughly the average price in 1952 in the West Midlands for the bank holiday weekend in a nostalgic gesture to those who don't own their homes.
