If you have masonry behind your drywall these are pretty good for heavy loads. There’s a ~2-4cm gap from the back of our drywall to the masonry behind and these are sturdy enough to support 2 bikes with lots of loading/unloading.

Also I don’t know if all of them will wash clothes for you vs just being machines you can use

There are definitely _some_ in central London, but they’re called laundrettes, not laundromats. As the other person said, zone 1 is a big area, so I can see why “some” is effectively “none” depending on how far you’d have to walk

Yeah it’s a cool activity! They had it at Usenix’s LISA in 2018. Unfortunately all the shirts said “LISA - 18” which is awkward to explain after the event 🫣

Isn’t the Irish ID card a passport card, and requires a passport? If not, I might’ve missing one 😅

Did a bit of a double take seeing you post this - the backdrop on the video preview is of the town I grew up in 😂

Did your domain not renew properly?

Someone should start feeding these into an old school self playing piano

Are SSDs for recently ingested stuff no longer a thing, or just omitted for brevity?

Interesting! Is there a way to filter down the data that’s ingested? Eg if I’m interested in traces that touched a small part of my system, is enhancing going to pull in everything and bust through my event allowance?

Not sure I'd want it to restrict the time pickers as that often feels a bit clunky/a source of bugs?

Would expect to see affordances on the graph to show that 0s are not "real" and indicate missing data, but a dataset marker for start/end range could be a reasonable MVP?
