Something like this would be useful in Istanbul Taking into account public transportation and then minimizing elevation changes for the walking portion. That is one very hilly city.

> 2. The council moved to disallow discussion of flock cameras

Not sure why they would do that. Our city council gives people three minutes to talk about what they want. Not sure why this city council wouldn't do that.

This happened to me starting yesterday. Customer support was no help. Making me seriously consider exploring alternatives to Amazon.

This is both on the app and using the website on my computer.

There are also elevators in cruise ships. People get on and off at almost all the floors.

You can use this webpage on your phone to set an "atomic" clock.

https://timestation.pages.dev/

I use it when the daylight saving time switch occurs as not all of my clocks will get the time every night. But this isn't so useful if you never can receive the signal.

I would eat the food at the store and then throw the trash away in the store's trash cans.

For things I didn't eat at the store I carried a small plastic bag to store my trash and when I got to my lodging I would throw it away. Also once you go inside the gates of a subway/train station there often seemed to be trash cans available.

I think they are saying if you use VyOs on Proxmox it gives you something equivalent to JunOs. I have no idea if that is true or not though.

Personally I would get a used Dell Optiplex / Lenovo ThinkCentre / HP EliteDesk. Either the "mini" / "micro" if you really want small. I am a fan of the SFF (Small Form Factor) size and the Dell Optiplex models. In particular the 70XX versions that offer Intel AMT / vPro for remote management.

I run a Proxmox server on my Dell Optiplex SFF 7070. With the SFF size you can add two low-profile PCIe cards, if desired. In my case I added a 10Gbit NIC.

The reason I would go with a used Dell / Lenovo / HP is that these tend to be well-built machines that run for years and years 24/7 in offices and proven to work well.

> I'm using the free DNS my registrar provides, which doesn't provide API access unless you upgrade to their paid DNS service

I use Cloudflare for DNS and it is free to use the API.

> No, I didn't, because I quit GitHub when they started demanding mandatory SMS 2FA

They haven't demanded that of me. I have 2FA with a Yubikey and a TOTP app.

I don't ever recall giving them my phone number.

So? I don't see any issue.

I always use FQDNs for everything.

I do the same thing. I'm not worried about them seeing my FQDNs.

I use the form of hostname.int.example.com for everything inside my home network. None of which is accessible to the outside world. I use LetsEncrypt with DNS validation to get the certificates.
