My only regret is that I have boneitis

Conversely, I’d imagine there are babysitters out there who at times wish they could just throw the baby away.

Congrats! Out of the usual suspects, (nginx, traefik & caddy), id say nginx has the steepest learning curve, so it’s definitely something to crow about mate! I know professionals in the tech industry that have a hard time with nginx config, so an enthusiast getting it down is a bigger deal than you’re giving yourself credit for.

I host various services for friends and family; and here are a couple I think will be of particular interest to you:

• matrix server with element clients. (Self hosted discord/WhatsApp alternative which is open source unlike TS).
• Drop server and client setup (self hosted steam like experience).

Another thing I would strongly suggest doing, is setting up a single sign on Auth server. Something that will allow your friends and family to have one login for anything you setup. Personally I use keycloak. But there are other options like authentik and voidauth that are worth looking at too!

Congrats again on the progress mate! You’re smashing it so far.

Yeah I can appreciate that take mate. The level of audacity they would need to think something like this wouldn’t be noticed is almost unimaginable. Lying by omission does feel like the best comparison to make regarding this.

Rest easy friend; there will be plenty more corporate nonsense for us all to jawdrop over tomorrow!

If you give a letter to a postman, and the recipient asks why you put “P.S: I love you” on an official piece of documentation, your first thought wouldn’t be “that damn postman, opening my mail to try and enhance it”.

The same is true for YouTube. People have been uploading videos for decades with them ending up on the platform the way they are uploaded, so it stands to reason that longtime users would expect this behaviour to continue, especially if there have been no Comms around any changes.

Of course Google isn’t to be trusted, and anyone trusting YouTube to be ethical clearly isn’t paying attention to anything. But that doesn’t change the fact that youtube have intentionally hidden this change from their user base. Sure, the result was public facing, but the cause was kept secret; and that’s the nuance you’re overlooking.

Damn you sir, you didn’t need to call me out with that last paragraph.

No, I know it wasn’t my shoe, but look at how well it fits!

As Samuel L Jackson once said;
"I have had it with these motherfucking colonoscopies, on this motherfucking plane. ".

Verbatim, Of course

The bowel prep I had was taken before going to bed as well as the morning of the day before. so I was thinking more along the lines of waking up with that urgency and subsequent hours of toilet torture that follow.

True enough you could skip sachet B though and save yourself the afternoon.

I don’t know what other preps are on offer (or even what the one I had is called) I’ve been fortunate enough to only have to have the one colonoscopy, so I can only draw from that one experience; I’m definitely not a prep expert or anything like that.

Edit: now that I think about it more, I think I might be misremembering; and the subsequent sachet is taken the morning of the colonoscopy rather than the day before… It was a while back, and I was going through a cancer scare at the time, so the specifics of the prep are fuzzy. But I do think you’re right, Im probably thinking of the day of the colonoscopy, rather than the day before. You would be able to skip the procedure (which honestly isn’t a big deal anyway, providing anaesthetic is used ofc), but not the prep you’ve already induced the night before (which is a big deal, and will likely ruin both your underwear, and your morning).

The day before a colonoscopy.

I can’t imagine a worse hell than a lifetime of bowel prep.

So what you’re telling me is it’s still a legal argument.

Bee the change you want to see.

Most of the kit that is made in US uses parts distributed by other countries… So even domestic sales of US created products are likely to be impacted. Gotta give it to Krasnov, he’s doing a bloody good job at the task he’s been set.

Id like to think that me pointing out this entire scenario was caused by the UK & US due to their support of Israel made it obvious where I stand on this debate. But apparently not.

As for the pedantry; the language used was not a personal opinion; but rather utilising their own language to draw the subsequent metaphor.

The irony being that Houthi were attacking predominantly US & UK ships due to their ongoing support of Israel. The US created this problem, and then moan when they have to clean it up. At this point, the US is the world stage equivalent of a petulant child spilling milk on their shirt and then throwing a tantrum.
