Most people don’t understand economics or international trade, so weren’t equipped to spot the lies. They’re not especially dumb. They’d just had about 40 years of trade barriers being removed and things getting ever easier, without much idea how it was elsewhere. Some Leave campaigners realised this and exploited it, aided by some journalists who prefer to have years of juicy bad news than a functioning country. Of course, some Remain campaigners tried to explain it, but Leave just flat denied it, lied and sometimes shot the messenger (“people have had enough of experts”).

But eventually, reality gets more and more difficult to deny.

If the house is bad, all heating is more expensive.

Wow. Gold pipes? Difficult house?

The only disinformation is thinking that renewables are ready to be a drop in substitute for oil and gas.

That’ll be why nobody is saying that then. They’re a useful replacement, not a substitute.

They are usefull, no doubt, but we need to solve the problem of storing all the surplus they generated.

All of it? Really? And we don’t need to solve this before deploying lots more to replace the burning fossils. We didn’t wait to solve all the problems with burning fossils before deploying them. We’ve never solved many of the pollution problems, which is part of the reason we have so many problems now!

No, the racists & xenophobes still don’t want to even work with the EU. They now want to quit the Treaty of London & the Council of Europe so they can leave the ECHR and torture some foreigners without the courts mentioning human rights and stopping them. Possibly pesky protestors too.

What’s changed is the people who thought the financial arguments could be true, or believed Leave campaigners saying “nobody is talking about leaving the customs union”, now know for sure that was all rubbish and only the hedge funds and similar gamblers won, while ordinary people get to pay more customs duty on things bought from abroad and stand in longer passport queues. And they can see “Five-million Farage” is now trying to stuff them again with cryptocurrencies.

The British public is sorely confused: two thirds say Brexit was a mistake, but the polls favor Reform UK, the party that single-brain-cell-ly pushed for Brexit in the first place.

The polls only show about a third for RUK, which is roughly consistent with two-thirds believing Brexit was a mistake.

But the big problem is the UK uses an old-fashioned non-proportional voting system where a third can give a party a landslide, like Starmer’s landslide getting 63% of MPs from 33% of votes. That combines with the confrontational face-off style of the Parliament to push UK Prime Ministers to be dividers, not uniters, to keep that crucial 30-40% core power base cheering for them. It feels like it’s been a decade since any even tried much to unite people.

Can anyone find those? It’s not a link or anything.

In the stable repo, but there are backports, testing and unstable repos too, if you want later versions and accept more risk of bugs.

Trac has backlog and milestones (for epics and sagas) and plugins offer kanbans. It’s been OK when I’ve used it, including hosting one.

Didn’t nextcloud fork from that because reasons?

edit to add: no, that was ownCloud. You are in a twisty maze of project names, all different.

Check your autorenewal failure alerts go somewhere you’ll react to.

Yeah, said that, or “you’ll work on this as a contractor” as contracting isn’t classed as being employed by the hirer in some countries. The confused language makes them look like they could give you tax and social security problems, which might deter some good people.

No, but could you feed the website with mismatched tags through something like tidy first? That error looks like maybe it’s expecting xhtml and getting html. Maybe the site is declaring one, then using the other. Lots of software won’t care because it’s a pretty common error, but some panics.

Thank for elaborating my comment, but I never said never, only that it’s usually better to avoid it.

And yven if you think it’s provably impossible to get an Error back now, someone or something may change an underlying function behaviour on you in the future and invalidate your proof. There are ways to limit that with version control and pinning and so on, but it’s easy for an assumption to be overlooked when merging in new versions of things.

So yes, I agree, better to use ? at least here, but like all guidelines, there may be times where you break it, accepting the risks.

They used .unwrap(…) in production, which can escape notice until there’s an error, then it panics. It’s better to always handle the potential error, or at least use ? to pass the error back to the caller.

That depends who’s hosting it. There’s few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.

Even if you self-host, other people’s mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I’d say it’s more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it’s not being a pain, there’s probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!

It’s still often worth self-hosting, but that’s more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don’t set their mailservers up well and it’s often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Those apt commands are in a less-good order. It’s usually better to update apt, then upgrade the system.

I upgrade as soon as reasonably possible after the notification appears, if the system isn’t on auto-upgrade.
