yep but nothing prevent you from using an hosting service, there are plenty on the web, or you can selfhost
The issue with the current time zones in Europe is that they are far from being natural... The more you go to the west the later the sun is raising and setting, the more you go to the east, the opposite. Current western European time zone is too large... There are initiatives to improve that but will it be done ?

Nuclear war: a scenario, by Annie Jacobsen
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look.
Just finished Nuclear war, a scenario by Annie Jacobsen. This nonfiction book about a fictional scenario about what a nuclear war would be really shaked me. I strongly recommend it. Read it in a few days because it was really gripping (ok this week have been a bit hard with the few sleep hours each night).
Not yet found what I'll start reading now but something lighter for sure (perhaps a crime/mystery/thriller, has been long since I read a good one). If you have some recommendations, they are welcome.
Thank you for your dedication in maintaining us a great instance. Very much appreciated, I'm really happy that my initial instance closed and that I choose (mostly out of luck) this one.
I would add for the search suggestion to work (replace searx.be by your instance URL), use this URL in suggestion URL field in firefox
It's indeed noisy, we schedule it to run when we're not at home.
A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it's called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it's not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.
Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.
As a Heliboard enthusiast and pretty happy with it, I would like to ask you what you find wrong with it, what you miss from the original ?
