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

It seems like they are not required but actively encouraged not to have

Just wanted to point out you don't get 12 months paid maternity leave in the UK. Leave and pay have completely different rules so you have to think of them separately, even though they are intrinsically linked.

You are entitled to 12 months maternity leave, and in fact by law have to take the first 2 weeks (or 4 weeks for a factory worker) for health reasons. This is great but lots of women don't take the full 12 months time because the last few months would often be unpaid so is not the main factor.

Statutory maternity pay, which is what you are guaranteed and what the government pays the company, is 90% of your average earnings for the first 6 weeks, then it is the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average earnings, for the next 33 weeks. Notice thats not 52 weeks in total! The average is also based on a certain time before you know you're pregnantso my wife got a bit screwed because of taking time off when changing job.

A lot of employers offer full paid maternity leave but it tends to be already better paying jobs or civil service jobs, and it's for 6 or 9 months. Then it's a reduced rate or even unpaid for last few months. There's also some caveats like having to work there for a full year before getting full pay, depends on seniority etc, because it is down to company policy rather than legally required.

Paternity leave is up to 2 weeks leave but statutory pay is the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average earnings. Again, better employers offer full pay for 2 weeks or more.

They introduced shared parental leave afew years ago but most people only saw the headline and didn't realise you have to split out the pay, which is the lower of the two statutory amounts above. Good employers offer full pay for a few weeks but is very varied, even in "better" jobs. I wanted to take more shared parental leave time but would have to sacrifice my full pay to get it so could not afford it. My company at the time (well paid head office role at one of the largest banks in the UK) did not offer full pay for shared parental leave that is over paternity leave.

Most voters think its great because it works for them but actually there's a lot of inequality/capitalism in it, and therfore much room for improvement.

Yes, it's better than federally in America, and pregnancy/labour itself is completely free on the NHS so no costs on top but we should strive to be better, especially compared to a lot of continental European countries.

Our rules might be a good step up for you, especially as they're in quite a capitalist society, but it should not be the end goal by any means!

It's at temporary lights for roadworks, usually when a lane is closed. You need to know where to stop, which might be further back so incoming traffic can get past you

It might be illegal but its pretty much unenforceable. The ICO, who would be responsible, say this: It is difficult to enforce these rules, as it is not easy to find out if the person acts on a request to delete footage. We wouldn’t find it a fair or balanced action to go into a person’s home to find out if they were complying with the law or take other enforcement action. https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/domestic-cctv-systems/ They say the police are unlikely to take action unless you're doing something pretty horrible like recording children somehow.

We have one on our front door. It does gave the street but have set the motion detection so you'd have to be on the driveway for it to record and save. It's arlo so deletes after 30 days or something.

I would say it should be set so you're not recording your neighbours house or garden. That would be annoying. It's easy enough to angle downwards or away.
