   I am a customer, I run a bunch of personal sites and hobby projects. updown.io is wonderfully cheap, the pay as you go model is perfect for my monitoring needs. I have no need for the stats, just the monitoring which it does well.

   I've replaced my usage of DDG sadly, with startpage, I get superior results. Found myself way too often prefixing queries with !g especially for technical or localised (UK) stuff.

   Reduces surface area of attack, you never know when a 0day is going to be found. Exposing monitoring/metrics is particularly interesting as it exposes a lot of information to an attacker, if they're trying to starve your machine o

   How do you get gigs without a contract? That no doubt violates all sort of insurance, security and finance rules for most companies.

   This is not normal. Our on-call schedules run 5-9 Monday to Friday, and 5pm Friday to 9am Monday. If I were paged twice in a week that would be a bad week, being paged at all is fairly uncommon now. Historically it would be more common, but

    Sure, but arguably thats penalising the wrong party. Also depends on who purchases, if you're a first time buyer you get significantly reduced stamp duty for example.

    You pay stamp duty land tax (SDLT) on the purchase of land or property, not sale.

    You're correct, sorry. AIUI there's a higher limit for corps/govs too. Banks often have lower limits than these but I've no doubt they'll lift them if there's need. For those not familiar, FPS offers 2h (normal

    Remember The Milk, similar advanced search and filtering syntax as Todoist, but has start dates.

    I can transfer 100k in GBP free too. BACS limit is £250k. Once I exceed that I have to fall to CHAPs which will cost me about £25 and has no limit. Banking is mostly free in the UK.

    I used Todoist for years, upon discovering it and following its development on your blog almost a decade ago. Sadly I ditched it a few years back upon discovering the power of start dates, I'd jump back in a heartbeat if you ever added

    Yes I use it daily, it's got some important distinguishing features compared to the competition like Todoist. For example start dates, do not under any circumstance show me a task until it's ready to start. Why Todoist haven'

    They do not. I've heard their recommended advice if this is a problem is to fork out and purchase yet another laptop at your own cost, and return it within the return window.

    Yes, heavily. If your blog doesn't have an RSS feed, I won't read it. NewsBlur is incredibly powerful and makes filtering 100s/1000s of feeds easy.

    These are different things. There's a £30 limit on Android/Apple payments, and contactless cards if the payment terminal only supports contactless. If they have a new enough terminal that also directly supports Apple/Android

    Or we could just ditch Docker for one of the alternatives, like Podman that doesn't need root, nor a daemon.

    Yes I read about the secret key, before I became a customer of 1Password. Your response concerns me. I understand you're encrypting the data, and have put in great effort to do so. This doesn't prevent your servers being a target

    That's a strange statement, you're a big target because you're holding lots of peoples secret data. Doesn't matter how you model it, unless your model is to have minimal data/clients.
