  • Booting on a schedule as others have suggested would be the simplest by far.

    To answer as asked though, it's not something I've needed to do but it sounds like a VPN + IGMP proxy (I'm assuming you have a separate subnet for your VPN) might fit the bill.

    Alternatively some kind of low power device (a Pi or something) that lives in the same subnet could make the WOL call locally, and you just need to find a way to trigger it. Could do it via a http call for example.

  • I used to do that, but here (Australia) passing on surcharges has sadly been normalised, and during covid heaps of businesses went cashless.

    The salt in the wound is that there's not really any reason for businesses to push payment gateways for a better deal. They don't give a shit any more as they just pass it into the customer.

  • To add to this excellent answer, in my mind at least some of the confusion comes from trying to compare a number to a concept.

    Using the 0.999... example, that doesn't have a set numeric value as such. You cant use it in an algebraic formula to calculate a fixed result. Logically, it's a number just below 1.0, but mathematically, every time you try to make that distinction it effectively shifts the goal posts.

    It's like the old "count to infinity" bit, it's not impossible because it's a big number, it's impossible because it's not a number at all, it's a concept.

  • John Farnham was incredible live, but a special shout out for his version of Help, the one with the orchestra backing (edit: Melbourne Symphony).

    For me he's up there with the best male vocalists ever, Help was the last song after 3 hours or so on stage and you can tell he's loving every moment as much as the crowd are. The album version is excellent but the live one...

  • Yeah this is what I do. All the important or irreplaceable stuff easily fits on a USB HDD, and I leave one with a friend I visit regularly. I just run three drives total and no more than two of them are in the same place at the same time. Cheap, simple, and a good excuse to catch up.

  • Same actually, I got Witcher 3 as part of a console bundle and played it for a short period, not sure exactly how long but I got to the first of I'm sure many fights with a dragon. Found it really unintuitive, by the time I got frustrated enough to bother doing a web search I'd lost interest. Tried a couple of times after and just got the cbf's every time.
