  • Glad to hear we’re not the only country with an imperial hangover! Our experience is pretty much the same. Bathroom scales, gym weights etc all have both kg and lb on them. Over time society here does seem to be shifting more toward metric; most people tend to know their height in both these days, whereas 20 years ago it would have been predominantly ft rather than cm.



  • Actually we use both. For example, body weight is (traditionally) stone and lbs, but parcel weight is usually kg.

    The same is true for length; height in feet, but stuff like room measurements in cm.

    I think the only area where we’re actually consistent is traveling distance? All signs and gauges are in Mph rather than Km/h. In fact the only time I can think of someone talking about distance in kilometres, is to do with sports (IE a 5k/10k running event).









  • Not so much to do with the current designation of clowder, but rather I was inspired by the origin of the word.

    A variation, recorded since 1801, of clutter, itself from clot, from Old English clott (“round mass, lump”), from Proto-Germanic *klūtaz (hence cognate with Dutch kloot (“ball, testicle”), Danish klods (“a block, lump”) and German Klotz (“lump, block”)).

    As for murder, I think labelling them with their intent is simply a good idea.

    I’ve nothing against crows or cats, but the person who coined their respective collective nouns probably did.



  • 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:

    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.

    You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it’s legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.

    Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed… They’ll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.
