Only if you actually receive your pack which reports suggest hasn’t been as reliable this time around.

Yea, after another hour today I’ve decided that my time is better spent elsewhere, so I’m just going to stick with Navidrome and not worry too much about losing out on the federated music idea for now.

I gave up on funk whale about 6 months ago and was loving navidrome, but hadn’t realised the lack of library separation. Thankfully that doesn’t bother me too much. I’ll give this another go and see how I get on though if I can find some time over the weekend

And also remember to look up the list of accepted photo ids and get yourself set up with at least one that you can take with you to the polling station. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need

That’s not quite true, water charges are part of your council tax. You get a discount if you have a septic tank because then dealing with the waste water is your responsibility.

But you pay a flat rate based on your property’s estimated value in 1991.

And Northern Ireland, but let’s be honest, Scotland has it’s own issues with nationalised bodies cough ferries cough so we Scots can’t sit here with too smug a grin on our faces. I’m sure Northern Ireland has it’s own issues in this field as well, but I don’t live there so I pay less attention to that.

I broadly agree with nationalising critical infrastructure like water, electricity and gas, some other key infrastructure like railways, the post office and probably a few others I can’t think of at this moment in time but it’s far from perfect and isn’t going to make everything perfect overnight.

I’ve got my instance of matrix working with voice calls. It’s not built in, but it’s just another service in my compose file alongside the bridges I use to have my unified chat app.

I’m using coturn and it just works when doing voice and video calls with federated users.

I think I’ve seen people using jitsi as well, so it seems there are many options available

I know it doesn’t help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they’ve updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I’ve gifted to my wife) And I’m liking the look of the new design.

I’ll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren’t doing a great job.

Edit: here’s a quick photo I’ve taken to try to show the new crossbar thing in action.

On the uptime monitoring I’ve been quite happy with uptime kuma, but… If you put it on the same host that’s down… Well, that’s not going to work :p (I nearly made that mistake)
