every single water system

It’s small parts of two of them.

What is USC? If you mean US sizes, why would they be used in the UK?

Are they promising a change to the electoral system?

It’s generally considered poor form to visit a UK community and say that the US is more important.

In Scotland perhaps. There’s no council tax in Northern Ireland either, instead they use the rates system. I’m not aware that there are any discounts for septic tank users.

Also note that in Scotland and Northern Ireland there are no water charges, the utilities are publicly owned.

Not much 40° heat in the UK.

Is that bad?

What error do you get in the system log when the transfer fails?

I don’t use it for the optimisations, I just prefer its package manager and ecosystem.

That’s still true, dozens of us still use it!

Yes, but for developers it’s good to not have to program for each CPU architecture/OS.

I can write some C, C++ or Rust code and compile it for loads of platforms and have it do the same thing (simplified).

What’s your point?

To what?

I just started using OpenSMTPD as a backup relay and it seems to work for that. Very lightweight and easy to set up.

It probably comes down to people not being willing to pay twice as much for electricity if the infrastructure can be acquired for half the price elsewhere.

Well yeah, as opposed to where?

Ah, right you are! Didn’t spot that

What results do you get from hdparm’s speed tests?

What filesystem is on the disk?

Costs 20 cents per what? That’s about 0.7kWh per month so I’m guessing it’s per month?
