I order mine from https://smol.com/uk. They come in a cardboard packet which fits through the letterbox. I was also fed up with the ridiculous and unnecessary amount of plastic in the supermarket equivalents.

You’re right to be wary of unlimited. It’s primarily a way for employers to avoid having to pay out accrued vacation time when staff leave. And create the competitive environment you mentioned over taking few days vs a lot. It seems great at first glance but I’d prefer a set number of days, no ambiguity that way.

I’ve been very pleased with this qbittorrent docker image which includes two modern web UIs bundled in with it: https://hotio.dev/containers/qbittorrent/

I’m in a similar position but perhaps a few steps ahead. But still needing to regularly lookup things like “how do I do <basic thing like move a folder> in linux?”. The other reply mentions tailscale which I agree is the best for your use case, super simple set up, secure and free, you just need to run one command on the machine or VM and it guides you through the rest. There is an option to allow access to your local network as well (haven’t used it, but have seen it in options). Then it is just like connecting to a vpn from elsewhere to get access.

The other alternative option you might want to explore is a cloudflare tunnel (I used the cloudflared docker container). You’ll need to buy a public domain and then that can redirect to a service you want (e.g. you could access jellyfin from ‘jellyfin.yourname.com’), I set up two-factor authentication which then only allows certain e-mails to get a code to login. This means you don’t need to connect to a VPN and can access from any machine and browser. I’ve used this for things like silverbullet and planka.

I like what they were going for but Liberty Line feels like a bit of a cop out, named after “the freedom that is a defining feature of London”. Better than just more monarch names though I suppose.

Let’s hope so! My main worry is it pushes things underground where you can’t really track and regulate anything, which has happened in other prohibition policies.

I think I’d be more up for it if smoking use was trending in the wrong direction but it’s been pretty consistently trending downwards since the 70s. But if it accelerates the decline then that would definitely be a positive.

I am definitely not pro-smoking but won’t this just create a pretty substantial black market?

I also like what I have seen in this instance and it’d be a shame to be forced to leave it. It also worries me a bit how dependent we are on individuals in some fediverse communities. I actually first migrated to kbin from reddit, but many of the communities/magazines ended up overwhelmed with spam or completely dead due to sole inactive moderators.
