I think the car driving test now is actually quite good and can be difficult to pass but once you pass (potentially at 17) then that's it. There's no requirement to keep those skills up, learn about law changes, no further tests, just nothing. Accountants, doctors, lawyers, social workers etc are all required to keep up professional development annually and usually have to submit an annual declaration with a certain number audited. Driving a literal killing machine centimetres away from children needs nothing extra.

My suggestion would be the government and insurance companies develop an optional extra certificate like the pass plus but something you do regularly, needs you to pass tests under new laws, and to prove safe driving somehow. You pay for but it gives a discount on insurance to make up for it. I would go for this. I am hesitant about having a tracker on the car even though I drive very safely.

That's a huge part. A lot of people just can't put themselves in others shoes unfortunately

They have been given out tickets to speeding cyclists for a while now, at least according to a friend who cycles a lot, so I think it applies equally but is just exceptionally harder to enforce. You need multiple police officers physically stopping and giving tickets.

Before you go too far into it and spend lots of time, I think most VPS services let you installed a new OS on their admin site so you can start again from scratch. If you're not sure that is the right linux flavour, go for something else more mainstream so you can find lots of support online. Looking at the OS, I'm sure it might be good but I'm also sure you can install all the features very easily yourself, especially if it's just using docker mainly.

I second UFW. I found this guide useful: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/ufw-essentials-common-firewall-rules-and-commands. You might want to try tailscale as others use it for easily setting up vpn access but not used it myself. Also go for fail2ban or, for more assurance but harder work, try crowdsec too.

You could also use cloudflare dns and add IP and/or country restrictions to block all traffic before it gets to your VPS. I have a country filter and it's crazy how many bots get blocked from all over!

I don't use the docker labels feature so it doesn't really matter to me but can see why you would want this to be implemented if you did. Hopefully they can figure it out.

I have a "local" version with every prod service on. It's only accessible on my home network with a pihole dns resolver. I just add the services manually to the services.yaml file, which doesn't take long at all. I then have a "remote" version which is a much smaller with only services accessible outside my home network and is behind nginx/authentication software/cloudflare. Again, it doesn't take long to add services really. Two different docker compose files, volumes with the settings, and ports makes it work fine for me. I guess depends how often you're adding services.

My ex used to work an ice cream factory (Walls I think but not completely sure I remember right). She said she wouldn't touch mint with a barge pole. Apparently, any wastage from other flavours was chucked in the mint one because mint is such a strong flavour it masks the other flavours.

On a brighter note, in between flavour changes on the equipment, they would spend a whole shift cleaning. For flavours marketed as allergy friendly, they would spend two shifts cleaning, so didn't need to put "may contain traces of..."

Does that change your mind at all?

That's the first time I've heard 'flat roof pubs' and it's so true and just fucking glorious!

I have two homepages, one for local and the other for remote (behind nginx and my authentication software). I also have one on a vm i use for testing before deployment. They are different docker containers but don't see why you couldn't have separate ones given they are just websites.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

I was thinking this early on on the video and have been thinking this for years so glad he picked up on this - wtf do we use flat roofs in this country!!!

Some great other points about having a standard design but can't see it getting past the NIMBYs. Tbh, buildings have got very similar looking anyway and at this point, we've really got to question why we're allowing our children to spend several hours a day in buildings which weren't designed to last this long and has asbestos everywhere.

In case you didn't realise why the downvotes, this is UK based and we can't buy these. I'm assuming you just didn't realise while browsing on all

My cousin just came back from Australia and was quickly saying wtf is going on here. There's lots of issues but also there's s a crazy sense of despair all around. We're normally miserable but not this miserable!

I think the mood is bad because everyone knows we need rid of the current tories but (1) it's probably at least a year away and (2) I'm not sure people are too happy with some of labour's recent moves (they're aiming for the middle ground and just saying nothing but it's alienating traditional labour supporters) so there's a sense they'll be better but only because a clown using his feet to fire darts at a keyboard 10 miles away would govern better than this lot. This lot seem to care more about a rich person's bank account, a couple of boats they've had many years to stop but can't do anything about and trying a Nazi like scheme to send asylum seekers to anywhere but here

Yes, I have it under a subdomain I own on cloudflare. Then it's behind nginx proxy manager on my server which takes care of the ssl too. I have fail2ban too so consider it enough security for if the user passwords are long enough. You can set minimum lengths if letting others use it, or in my case I helped family set it up and made them have strong passwords.

Like others have said, the apps cache everything locally. I have used it without issues with no mobile Internet (e.g. for my cc pin numbers I store on there when i was out in the country with crap reception). I guess you're more likely to create accounts at home anyway but if you have to when out, it would sync whenever you have it back on the lan.
