About time. There's so much repetition that can be easily solved with a set of generic, reusable services.
A good bin calendar would be most welcome. I'd even submit a PR that adds .ics support!

My first computer was an Acorn 3000 and still to this day I only really use keyboards with a correctly-positioned CTRL key as a result (HHKB). Fun memories.
Excellent job on the restoration 👏

I had to leave Co-op business bank because their website didn't work with Firefox.
I was repeatedly told by their support staff that "Firefox is supported but Chrome is more supported" 😮💨
My home town bank too, what a pity.

For the most part no, but there are a few exceptions.
Watching Uncle Roger has definitely upped my egg fried rice game, and Vito Iacopelli basically taught me everything I know about pizza dough, which I'm alright at.

"VW sources indicate this is a localised issue" - well now it's being covered in the national media, maybe not for long!

I wanted everything to be on premise so went with Unifi.
It's a little more expensive and you need to be able to put in ethernet cables, but it's guaranteed subscription free forever and it supports third party cameras now.

I'd be wary of Eufy, they were caught uploading data without telling customers (albeit a few years ago)

Data centres create jobs, both the construction and maintenance, and drive the industries that drive the economy.
