Any recommendations for an Electricity Supplier in the UK?

I have been swapping accounts into my own name due to a bereavement. Every utility company have made the process painless, except for Eon Next who have been utterly useless. Time to move.

Quick note that I'm available for part-time and/or contract work for teams needing to augment a project but don't need a full time staff member.

I excel at maintaining & modernizing legacy PHP apps, Symfony, technical documentation writing & #WebDev team leadership.

I have some niche experience in multilingual projects (EN/FR) and Canadian insurance rating. I could pick #Laravel back up quickly.

Walt Disney World has significantly better transit than most cities in the US.

Its 12-train-set monorail, 325 buses would make it the 16th most ridden transit system in the nation.

America's fantasy world, it turns out, is a place you can get around without getting into a car. 🧵

So, it turns out I'm looking for a new contract unfortunately, my main contract (CTO Impactive) came to an end this week as the company has been suffering from the economic situation.

If anyone needs Rails/Postgres performance, scaling, optimisation or upgrade work doing then I'd love to hear from you.

I know it's a long shot, but is anyone here familiar with the mechanics involved in the scheduling of isochronous USB transfers in the linux kernel? I'm running into some weird problems where the URBs fail to submit because the EHCI scheduler reports that I'm out of bandwidth depending on which order they're submitted in. This is specifically related to USB audio, where sometimes the ISO OUT URBs are submitted before the ISO IN ones when starting a full duplex stream in which case it works fine, but for some reason it fails with cannot submit urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth when submitting them the other way around.

But they were all of them deceived, for another mambo was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Lou Bega forged in secret a master mambo, to control all others, a mambo number five.

Is anyone looking for a little extra development help? I've been struggling to find projects lately.

I've been building Web sites & UIs since the early 00s. I worked back through the stack with PHP & Node. I use NextJS, React, Laravel, some Vue. I'm learning Qwik.

I’m UK-based, experienced at remote. I can mentor/advise or be a CTO sounding board. I'm open to one-off, short or long term projects.

Thanks.

Quick question(s) for #interrail folks - if I take a night train does that count as 2 travel days ?

What if at midnight it is still in my home country - is that allowed under the 1 outbound travel day rule ?

cassolotl, 11 months ago to uk

Hello! I have a question for people running smallish makerspaces in the UK - like, a big room with several tables in?

How much (approx, ballpark) do you spend on consumables per month? (Refreshments, 3D printer filament, woodworking bits, any other supplies.)

Also how many members do you have?

I'm asking because we're applying for a grant to cover running costs and we're being asked for an estimate of what we expect to spend, but we don't yet have premises. We'd be allowing members to use e.g. filament, tea bags, etc. for free, if we get the grant. So I do need to know how much it costs in the first place, even though you probably usually do get it covered by people buying/donating for what they use in most hackspaces!

Manchester folks: I know a couple of people who are looking for junior business analyst roles at the moment, but are struggling. One is specifically looking for a role in the city, the other could do remote. Does anyone know anywhere that's hiring? 🙏

If RISC-V is going to be significant in datacenters in five to ten years, as someone claimed[1], there's a lot of prep work that's going to be needed. Where are the Linux distributions? Where are the reasonable computers for developers to use and for eg Debian package builders? I look at how far ARM64 isn't on all of that, and it's well ahead of RISC-V.

I realise I'm kinda out of touch with networking, but is "layer 3 switching" actually a thing?!

As I understand it, layer 3 switches exist (yep, have used some of those) but they're switches and routers in the one device.

There's no such thing as layer 3 switching, right?!
