I had no idea where the name came from, so went looking:

Woolworths is only called Woolworths because of a cheeky dare in 1924

What a weird way to name a business...

TLDR; Chatterton’s, no, Christmas, no, Wallworths Bazaar Ltd, almost but no...Woolworths! Yes.

Definitely Woolies, not woolies!

The reason why the Australian Superenuation scheme (what Kiwisaver should be) has been so successful is because it can't be raided.

These clowns have no idea! They clearly don't understand compounding interest. How could they possibly lead the country?

Themes were there before, but there were only a couple - I had already set darkly-compact.

Pretty 'bright' themes, not much to my liking yet. Sticking to darkly-compact as the only other compact one is litely, and I prefer a dark screen.

Good to see Lemmy progressing though :)

nginx

Not sure why others are suggesting a Raspberry Pi and nginx would cause problems? I run three public facing websites on a single Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM. Has been working flawlessly for 2 years. Typical uptime is measured in multiple months.

Running Wordpress, fail2ban and certbot. Booting and running of a USB drive - have considered SSD but no need as I cache to RAM for performance.

Spent an hour or two replacing a battery into a ~7 year old Chromebook - ASUS C302CA. This has been my daily interface to the Internet and has done, and is still doing, such a great job that a $75 upgrade to a new battery seemed like a good bet.

Have gone from 2 to 3 hrs of battery life back to around 8 hrs. Awesome.

Can highly rate thinking about keeping ageing tech alive if it's still fit for purpose. Better than just chucking it out and replacing.
