Aug 12th solar eclipse : best location to travel to from France using only public transit ?

Hi,

I live in Limoges (France) without a car and not even a driver's license.

Does anyone know the best places to travel to using only public transit and manage to experience the total solar eclipse, in terms of easiness of access, transportation cost, accomodation cost, tourist density ?

I've considered taking a train to somewhere near the border (Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port, Bedous) then figuring out local transportation, or taking an international train to Barcelona (details for both options in my other post linked below), but I think the best option will be taking a national train to a big national hub, then taking an international bus there.

So, for international bus, I found the following, but I'm of course open to other destinations :

  • from Toulouse (4h of train away for 20€) :
    • a 6 hour bus ride to Zaragoza, 1m 23s of totality, 15% cloud risk, for 60€ ;
    • an 8 hour bus ride to Burgos, 1m 43s of totality, 25% cloud risk, for 60€ as well ;
  • from Bordeaux (3h of train away for 25€) :
    • a 9 hour bus ride to León, 1m 44s of totality, 30% cloud risk, for 60€ but with a 1h layover, I must admit I'm not a fan of that ;
    • a 6 hour bus ride to Santander, 1m 2s of totality, 45% cloud risk, for 50€ ;
      • or keep going 3 hours longer on the same bus to Oviedo, 55% cloud risk, 1m 48s of totality, for 75€ ;
      • or keep going 7 hours longer to A Coruña, 1m 15s of totality (less than the previous stop), 25% cloud risk, for 100€.

(Note : I'd trust locals more than statistics regarding the cloud risk).

At r/solareclipse, people also suggested Vitoria‑Gasteiz with 1m 3s of totality for which there's a 9 hour bus ride from Toulouse under 40€, Bilbao (which is on the way to Burgos) but honestly I'm not doing all this for not even half a minute of totality.

What do you think ? I mostly need help regarding local logistics, like transportation within the city, finding an observation spot, finding food that my partner with dairy/egg/nuts/shellfish allergies can eat, etc.

Also, flying is out of the question, and carpooling is too risky in case of cancellation for such a very time-sensitive occasion.

Thanks !

Just make VPN's split tunneling free, as is Firefox's is

It makes no sense to make that feature paid, especially when Mozilla offers it for free for Firefox users

Why is there no open source partition manager on Windows ?

Hi,

There are plenty of proprietary equivalents of GParted on Windows, so it's doable. Why isn't there any open one ?

I know GParted can be used as bootable live USB but that's not convenient.

Thanks

We need an app that automatically renames "app-release.apk" after download

The old-looking screenshot isn't mine cause I cleaned up the mess earlier and only had the idea now, but you get it

Migrate cookies ?

Hi,

For migrating old people who don't know their passwords (and haven't saved them) from Google Chrome to a browser that will keep uBO, like Helium, is there any way to migrate cookies (instead of just bookmarks and history) ?

Thanks

TS code style : add a space between function return type and opening bracket ?

Hi,

When pressing Ctrl-L, JetBrains IDEs turn the following TypeScript code :

function getSomething(): Promise<Something> {}

Into the following :

function getSomething(): Promise<Something>{}

i.e. it removes the space between Promise<Something> (the return type) and {} the body brackets.

How to prevent this ?

PS : I know arrow functions aren't affected, and personally I do prefer them, but sometimes it's not an option.

Thanks

Hi,

I live in Limoges (France) without a car and not even a driver's license.

Does anyone know the best places to travel to using only public transit and manage to experience the total solar eclipse, in terms of easiness of access, transportation cost, accomodation cost, tourist density ?

In terms of national train, it seems the closest I'll get is through a 7-8 hour multi-layover ride :

  • either to Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port, "39mi" from totality, for 50-60€ ;
  • or to Bedous, "47mi" from totality, for 25-60€ ;

Then there's transportation to whichever's the best destination from there to figure out.

In terms of international train, there's only a 10 hour multi-layover ride to Barcelona, still "20mi" from totality, for almost 115€, though I'm guessing the final step of transit would be easier from there.

In terms of international bus :

  • there's a 13 hour ride to Zaragoza, 1m 23s of totality but "Low Sun" (?), for 100€ but with a layover in Toulouse which I could instead go to on a 4h 20€ train then take the bus for 6 hours for 60€, saving 20€ and 3 hours ;
  • still from Toulouse, there's an 8 hour ride to Burgos, 1m 43s of totality, also "Low Sun", for 60€ as well ;
  • from Bordeaux, also reachable through a cheap 25€ 3h train, there's a 6 hour bus ride to Santander, 1m 2s of totality, still "Low Sun" (damn, is that everywhere ? What are the implications ?), for 50€ ;
  • also from Bordeaux, there's a 14 hour ride to Santiago de Compostela, "3.5mi" from totality, for 100€, also an expensive destination like Barcelona but with fairly easy access to totality I'm guessing, also "Low Sun".

What do you think ? I mostly need help regarding local logistics.

Also, flying is out of the question, and carpooling is too risky in case of cancellation for such a very time-sensitive occasion.

The following Caddy configuration used to be enough :

router.home.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1
}

But now it always responds HTTP 302 and redirects to the local IP.

I tried many ways to rewrite the Host header, without success, even with the assistance of AI.

Turns out, the solution was simply to remove the header, along with another header named via :

router.home.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1 {
        header_up -host
        header_up -via
    }
}

That's it

Hi,

As I'm having "drift" issues with Prisma, I used the IDE to export an entire Postgres database's data as CSV before resetting it... Imagine my surprise when at re-import, it created new tables as {table_name}_2 with all column types as TEXT.

Apparently I could properly one CSV at a time into one existing table at a time... But I have over 50 tables !

Hi,

I can no longer log into Discord on the mobile app : the TOTP code gets rejected as invalid, and so do backup codes even.

However, it will work fine on desktop, or if I (uselessly) open discord.com/app in a mobile browser.

In all cases, the email and password get accepted fine.

What to do ?

Thanks
