What? No Penistone?

Really simple

“Bollocks”

I would have also put 20 down on an expired certificate

You can use old machines for all kinds of servers, I’ve got a stack of old laptops running a Kubernetes cluster, but synapse would push some of them possibly further than they can go so I have it on my more powerful NAS, and even then it isn’t exactly speedy at times

Lots of decent suggestions here so not going to repeat them, but I do have a couple of my own if using synapse:

• have plenty of RAM
• have plenty of CPU
• have plenty of DB storage space
• use Postgres as your database, SQLite sucks

Basically synapse is just a resource hog, and you need to plan for that. The database itself grows quicker than you’d expect as well

I’m most familiar (although casually) either UK/EU rules, and this page has an excellent breakdown of what’s considered the bare minimum this side of the pond for safety.

Personally I prefer to have a 20-30 min break every 2 hours which leaves me feeling sufficiently refreshed, and conveniently works perfectly for changing a 64kWh EV enough to do the next leg at the same ratio. I honestly believe switching to an EV has forced me to become a safer driver with regard to taking breaks.

I was wondering if this was similar to the Baltic Fleet and going down the comments looking for a reference. Lemmy did not disappoint

Most welcome, and really enjoying this thread for recommendations myself. Others I’ve been to in person in the last 12 months now I’ve had to think about it:

• Origin coffee, Cornwall - fantastic roastery café, very friendly staff.
• Buxton coffee roasters, Peak District - generally seem to be darker roasts but have some interesting ideas. Sadly doesn’t have a café
• Foundation coffee, Manchester - used to have a lot more in store than is currently online, not sure what’s going on. Two very nice cafés though
• ManCoCo, Manchester - white lie, didn’t go myself in person, but friend I was with did to get me a surprise gift as we were <5 mins away. Was a tasty coffee but can’t comment further.

Places I personally avoid from experience:

• Chatsworth house restaurant blend - had this in a Christmas hamper for the past few years, goes straight in the bin as it is undrinkably dark for my taste
• Pippas London - a front for a huge white label coffee distribution warehouse. Coffee was nice enough, but prefer to support small batch roasters.

Personally I really enjoy the whole going to the roastery and seeing what they have, trying a few things out etc, so I’m heavily biased towards what’s available to me locally. I’ve got The Nocturn to try when I next run out of Kickback, but as I’ve never tried any I can’t pass any judgement.

Current drinking a cup from Kickback Coffee in the Peak District, great coffee and great people, usually go and pick it up in person.

Ah I see, and you’re most welcome. 2FA is something I am very passionate about, to the point I’m trying to convince my whole family to use security keys, but I come up against a lot of resistance to it

Aside from SMS/email, which should be avoided anyway for other reasons, or proprietary solutions like MS’ or Steams approach, there is nothing to be gained from TOTP or WebAuthN.

TOTP (the 6 digit code that changed every 30 seconds, usually) is just a hash of a shared secret between you and the server, and the current time rounded to the nearest 30 seconds.

WebAuthN/FIDO2/U2F is private by design. Keys/authenticators derive a unique key for every credential pair, you can even register the same key multiple times because of this. About the only thing you gain is knowing what type of authenticator is being used, which is of questionable value at best.

Whilst I agree on the glue records, DNSSEC is most definitely included as standard (check my domain itsg.host which is on a free account)
