 @7e00ff73 there's not really a lot to visit so far is there 
 i don't understand why is the polish government paying ads in czech trying to convince people cpk is an amazing idea

 speaking of alcoholism, fridge defrosting yielded me a bottle of wine i didn't realize was there, nice 
 maybe i should be defrosting the freezer bit more often, there's enough buildup there to sink another titanic 
 i should probably not be spending so much time on watching buses on a map 
 ah yes, here we have a Predni Kopanina tour

why though, there is not a significant delay in Evropska for other buses, did the driver just came back from a break and decided to go for some country driving?

 @54dd8f26 maybe they are directed by a PID/DPP dispatcher based on traffic information 
 so far, i have not seen the two buses drive the same route on this line

 this bro decided to change things up for a bit and actually goes through the city center for whatever reason, instead of the hlavkuv most detour

this is really bizzare?

 sometimes they drive on the highway as the map indicates, sometimes on the airport road together with regular transit buses

why? based on what? lol.

 imagine being told you're being taken to the airport when your bus suddenly takes a turn from a main street to this

 @af863e5e so does the bus in opposite direction, so yeah, for people watching the bus on a map, this could be pretty nerve wrecking

https://blovice.bahnhof.cz/media/10aab13cccfe245d7fb875184e74bcf4801dee4eb9151670fdf5e776996b1f96.png 
 @af863e5e at a second thought, it's probably the map not knowing what is going on, if the bus is supposed to be at hbf in 6 minutes, it's not really 7 minutes ahead of the schedule, is it

 oh, it's a wheee day 
 @af863e5e i am not sure there really is a standard route, there is probably something internally which is used in this map, but all you really get is a promise of being taken from hbf to the airport in 30 minutes, i've seen them show up in weird places 
 @af863e5e apparently this bro drove on Korunovacni instead of Milady Horakove and got a big time boost out of it

 @214fcd33 all aboard is not even willing to look up trips today and doesn't even work properly and offers absurd connections, what is this for, clueless american tourists?

 @214fcd33 their data model is completely broken, so out of these, only raileurope and trainline seem to be serious competitors (trip com doesn't offer CEE trips by design already), but they are very west eu centric, is it because they don't care for eastern europe (i mean, who in here would pay for a booking fee) or is it somewhat difficult for them?

 I’m at #WorldPassengerFestival today and tomorrow 

These ticket platforms are here:
Raileurope... 
 @214fcd33 i am seriously wondering what is the business plan here, raileurope seems to be vaguely useful in price comparison, but then they ask me for effing 7.45 in a "booking fee", after telling me which ticket is the best, lol, surely i am paying that bro

 going to bed involved moving stuff from it to the section of floor that would not be used for the night

 @7646aa6b which has idle power higher than peak of what my "server" does lol 
 obvi it's a very handy thing but at the final price, it probably is even higher than a premium you'd have to pay for a proper server board with some included out of band management already 
 at the end of the day, of course, the best course of action would be just not trying to emulate a data center at home, where you need to buy a lot of equipment for very low quantity of servers and is subject to retail prices for power and internet connection (at home isp parameters too) 
 that's like ~170 exchange rate eur and it doesn't even include the rasbpi and most cables you need

 apparently you can now buy more assembled one but the price is frankly rather ridiculous
