Re: Linux

Mint uses Ubuntu as the base OS, so things like docker will work identically on both.
Would love the time to play with Nix.

Re: 🕵️‍♂️ Berlingo Mystery Milage Challenge: Can You Work Out Why?


i’m assuming it’s the stickers on the windscreen, but i’m bored now!

The other oddity is that its been MOT'd but not ...

Re: 🕵️‍♂️ Berlingo Mystery Milage Challenge: Can You Work Out Why?

There is a subtle hint in one of the photographs about the few years with high milage.

Re: Your fleet running reports

SE spec (best sized wheels for local potholes and speed bumps) with the adaptive suspension is my cup of tea - shame its not an estate (for the dog) or I would consider as we are looking for an auto (with no rush) due to declining health.
