I'd be very curious to see how orgs like the Taxpayer's Union or Hobson's Pledge fit in. They are campaigning for our political parties but are not those parties, most of their work is not in actual campaigning but in sewing seeds of doubt or pushing certain views among the public.

I guess what the Greens are proposing is a lot better than the current state, especially the standdown between being an MP/minister and being allowed to join a lobby group.

Have you got experience self hosting other things?

I really think that it's good to start with something small and personal (say, a wiki or Jellyfin) where you can build some skills around hosting, reverse proxies, security practices, backups, etc.

Hosting a service as part of a wider interconnected network of sites isn't as difficult as it sounds but there is definitely potential to screw it up beyond repair.

A few phones back I started getting a second hand flagdhip phone every 3-4 years, I think it's well worth the flagship second hand 1 year old model instead of the mid range phones I used to get for the same price.

Plus the last couple have been pixels for GraphineOS, so it's nice to not be directly handingb Google money.

I thought the implication was that you may only be able to buy from that registrar if you're from/in that country?

Summit here too. I changed up some of the display settings so it feels like Relay for Reddit 😀

The things that got me to move from Voyager were that when images didn't load first time, there was no way to re-try - Summit has that. And I don't think Voyager handled drafts that well. Summit has drafts but I do wish there was a client that had drafts like Relay did, where if you come back to the same comment/post and hit reply it has your draft from where you left off on that comment/reply.

Can't you just put the stuff in the trolley unbagged then bag them when you get to the car?

My favourite is when a toaster with the lift function raises to a high point that's lower than the high point on one without the lift.

Or that time I went through every display toaster in the store to get the one that lifted the highest, then when I bought one and took it home the one in the box only lifted to a high point an inch lower than the display model.
