A new water company (currently the government want to privatise these) was checking water meters last week. long story short they broke one and the cap on the hole keeps popping up outside my house on the pathway. Rang them today to tell them about it “what’s your address?”

I had to obviously give them that - I guess I could’ve said I was a neighbour, and just given them the location. Wanted my name and phone number. I said “I don’t want or need to give that, I am just telling you about the manhole cover.”

“I need to get your name and phone number to continue”

“I don’t know my phone number, my name is private Jones. I have been put on hold two times already. a lady and a child already tripped over this cover, I don’t care if you can’t continue. I have given the information, and it won’t be me that anyone sues if they break something tripping over it.”

I stayed polite and we ended the conversation. but holy shit. You are not wrong to not give it to them. They are wrong for persistently asking for it.

I tried Waterfox a few months back and had loads of issues with it, it just didn’t seem ready. I must try it again. using Fennec at the minute.

On a separate note, does anyone know if there’s a reason that you can’t view pages preloaded when offline anymore?

I had damaged my SIM before going to the shop the other day, loaded up a website with a recipe and ingredients on the page before I left using home WiFi.

When I got to the store, I couldn’t view the page, it wanted to load again…

Yep, that’s the plan. Still didn’t get around to it today. My “free” day and I’ve not sat down other than the few minutes earlier to write the OP and look at some of the replies l. Hopefully I’ll have a few hours to myself after dinner.

Thank you for a great, detailed answer. Proxmox it is so. I was going with NixOS and definitely going to try Podman as I’ve been reading all about that while downloading and copying the Isos. I will be dedicating an entire machine and if I don’t do it today, I fear it will be another year before I come back to it. 🥴 I’m going to start it now . Thanks again.

I’ve just went to the betterstack podman page after the above post, and there’s a good video that covers what you asked, there.

End goal is running docker with immich, navidrome, and something like jellyfin etc. Along with a few other things that I may add as I go along. Stability and low maintenance would probably suit me best

Thanks, I’ve never heard of podman, I will have a look at that.

Thanks, I will have a look at that. Add it to ventoy.

I remember talking to two Japanese young lads about 20 years ago, and they thought the idea of toilet paper was disgusting. Smearing/smudging your own shit allover your inner ass cheeks.

That opened my eyes wide. I was a couple of years younger, but they spoke frankly and didn’t hide anything 😁

Using Raccoon for now after having a few issues with voyager. Liking it so far.

Within banking apps it has become the norm, it shouldn’t mean it’s acceptable, but for the wider community it is accepted.

But for a fucking forum?? Christ. Especially at a time when Europe are trying to establish digital sovereignty and all of the stories coming out about the US government having access to data. We already know that they are willing to share that with the highest bidder (s).

People would have to be absolute morons to upload anything personal to Reddit, nevermind your photo ID like a passport or driving licence. But obviously that’s what they’re banking on (people being morons).

Who keeps the $5m per wealthy immigrant? If it’s Trump himself, isn’t that very very illegal?

I think it’s just USA. Nowhere else has introduced new tariffs for stuff from Japan to my knowledge.

Edit: Another article that clarifies it is just the US.

Here is the full statement Nintendo sent GameSpot on April 4:

“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
