I do wonder whether ‘protected designation of origin’ could apply to beer too. But alas, the brand is just commercial IP at the end of the day. Chewed up by the capitalist machine…

Bass is king! 🔺

Molson-Coors not good for UK brewing, but the water in Burton-On-Trent is up there with the best (take your point on water being purified though).

Burton snatch anyone?

Sounds like a massive job. I just bought an old house and replacing the sprawling pipe layout would make me die inside. Luckily it has a newish thermal store for a biomass(!) boiler.

What’s he given up on? Not sure he’s tried anything yet…

Generally looking very positive for him at the moment. Way more popular than the outgoing PM. Has since said lots of things other politicians would avoid: Nationalising infrastructure, Fixing Social Care, Rejoining the EU, reforming the electoral system. It’s early days, probably not possible for him to do everything he talks about. Generally a solid social democratic outlook.

The melody didn’t pop into my head until line 3.

You can get a 22kwh Renault Zoe for £3k, but you’re looking at a 10 year old car.

The cheapest new car you can buy in the UK is a Dacia Spring. £135 a month or £12k. 150miles range.

The technology is great and it has no competitors. No point beating yourself up about who led its development, when there’s no alternative.

I would like to avoid running anything thru Tailscale.

A quick google turns up plenty of results for providers that claim to offer a fixed IP not hiding behind CGNAT. I like three generally, so maybe they’re the option…

Really? Even with a specific IoT data provider?

Fair point — data only, probably around 200mb a month? Planning to run a simple web server, nothing too heavy.
