    My favourite part from this story covered on another site was

    Howells says that if only the council had entertained his excavation requests, "Newport would look like Dubai." Currently, it still looks like Newport.

    That's an interesting point, I decided to carry on with the webapp route, but it would be easy to make it "multi-cat" actually. What I really wanted was a lightweight calendar but I couldn't find one that had pre-canned events or had too many other things I didn't want.

    Thank you for the suggestions, I tried a bunch and nothing immediately fit. Most were either too complicated for me to create the relationships or I couldn't get the thing locally running (or there wasn't a self hosted option)... Basically stupid user syndrome 😑 😤.

    So went back to the drawing board of writing a webapp and after a few experiments realised that... All I needed was a calendar with pre-canned event titles, groups for colour to highlight different events... silly me, all I needed was a calendar...

    Ended up re-inventing something looking very much like a calendar... sigh... do I carry on or look for some kind of lightweight calendar :/ Just need to have ability to quickly create pre-canned events, would be nice if the events could be related...

    On the other hand, its kinda fun to re-invent a calendar haha!

    Here is a colour version... totally a calendar 🤣

    Looking to replicate something like this (with a weekly/monthly/ect views, maybe monthly view can look different since it would be too long to scroll, but anyway, it looks like arse but was just giving it a go), but didn't want to have to create a full webapp (with CRUD data inserts, pagination ect... its certainly doable, but just annoying to implement). This is just a simple index view in a random framework I found, with some real, but pre-canned data via db seeding (so at least I can re-create it easily). Just thought there could be something easier that already exists and i wouldn't have to be re-inventing the wheel. Have a paper version of this, but its too hard to keep track of different foods via paper.

    Spreadsheet sounds interesting (read easier) to try, though I am not quite sure how to do the lookup bits. Would it be something like one table (sheet) of events feeding from say, food type table (sheet) and some kind of a month view that can accumulate events on the same day?

    PS: yes got a vet appointment coming up soon.

  • I need to record information about what my cat eats and does, as she might have a food allergy and I need to track down what it is. So I am after some kind of a user friendly locally hosted database (maybe via some kind of app), preferably Linux friendly. It would be nice if it had similar relationships to the added image, some kind of relational DB that I can fill with data. But essentially I need to have a bunch of lookup tables to return some data specific to difference events. Its a bit of a pain (and takes time) to have to write an entire webapp to manage all this from scratch, that's why I am looking for some kind of user friendly GUI way to do it. Surely there must be some kind of relational database managing "application" that lets you set up some lookup tables and enter data in a nice and easy GUI way to do it? `sqllitebrowser` doesn't count as it doesn't handle linked tables in a nice way (would be nice if its friendly for my wife to use) :) Cheers!

    Hmm could you use something like https://www.kavitareader.com/ and for items just add a single title image of the comic (with real title ect). So it shows up in your list?

    There have been videos and other evidence of both static and mobile (non-flying) drones on both sides. In some village Uranians had created remote controlled machine gun nests that help of Russians for a while and on the other side there been evidence of remote controlled bmp's stuffed with explosives being sent towards Ukranian lines. Though not heard of either for a while.

    Absolute tosh, instead of making a system clearly in favour of the mega rich, how about we make a system that encourages diversification so we have much fewer mega rich but more people have opportunity to step up and fill the gap.

  • Got a small walking treadmill, that now became a fire hazard, rhe motor is sparking, but replacing it seems not feasible as i cannot get a replacement part (the company stopped existing a while ago and doesn't seem like a main manufacturer). And it seems a slightly more permanent installation than not. So looking to scrap it, but how to scrap it in London without a car? Council bulk pickup seems not to mention anything about fitness equipment and neither does the "not so local" recycling centre, tried calling it but the number goes nowhere. Its a fair trip on a taxi if i wanted to bring it to the centre and not a straightforward walk either. So the question is, how to scrap it? Contacted a random "local" company that mentioned picking up gym equipment but they quoted £200, which is more than the bloody thing cost! Going to email the council, but anything else i can try?

    Using react router and have a route definition: ``` { path: '/', element: <Root pageTitle={pageTitle} />, errorElement: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />, children: [ ... { path: '*', element: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />, loader: async () => { throw new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 }); }, }, ], }, ``` This shows me 404 page how I want but without the rest of the root element but also the http status is reported as 200. How do I properly throw it as a 404 and show it inside root element?

How do I properly throw it as a 404? It seems not to trigger the loader (console log does not appear), or is there another method to throw a 404 and show a pretty page?

    Say I have a `Films` library Is it possible to make a shortcut on the left hand side menu to a specific tag or collection from this library? I was not able to find this option. And a side question, if I have media in multiple languages, whats the best way of signalling it? Via tags of some kind? Or `{edition-` labelling? Cheers
