I rarely fly and don’t use Telegram (is that the one controlled by a Russian emigre?) but I love the idea of something like this for a platform I use (fedi, xmpp, nextcloud, even email) that let me easily define scrapers for things like high speed trains and hotels.

In general, I agree, service frequency & reliability are critical, but I just want to push back on the idea you would have been “better off driving”. For starters, you would have lost the reading or chatting time on the train to having to work driving, plus the extra time and money on parking, fuel and maybe tolls. Maybe your time is so valuable that you have no slack or downtime otherwise in your day and doing that work is worth it to save some, but often it’s just a case of dealing with the unpredictability and having spare time near a station instead of elsewhere. And of course, all it takes is another driver to crash ahead of you and you can be sat there hours while they rescue the victims, recover the vehicle and clear the queues.

It’s still better if the train service is reliable and has enough capacity, of course!

Well, yes, as they’ve not passed safety tests yet. What would the Reform opposition do? Put possibly-unsafe trains into service because their MSes don’t ride trains anyway so don’t care?

London problem.

How about dealing with cars parked on pavements in England outside London first, eh? Then worry about the little bikes. Or, radical idea, ban all obstructive pavement parking no matter what vehicle, nationally all at once!

We have something similar for lorry drivers in at least some English cities, called “changing places”. I don’t remember if all licensed lorry drivers have to do it yet, or only those needing a higher qualification like FORS.

Google gets tons of stuff wrong now it has AI. Did you confirm it was a known issue listed on the Jellyfin support site?

Hard to say. Set up countermeasures and intrusion detection (tripwires, fail2ban, and more) or you’ll probably never know.

Maybe, but their stance on AI does suck.
