Check the factory on the packaging. I think some of their UK factories have to retain the original recipe.... Can't remember the details, so not that useful.

Laughed at the alt text, you have to be careful with definitions!

Most people have standard defined contribution pensions now. You can probably log into some pension companies site and see how much you have in there?

If that's the case, then it's your money (locked away u til retirement) that you can move to any pension provider you like.

You can ask your company to pay some of your salary into there - therefore you don't get taxed on that bit of new salary (they might also match your contribution if you are lucky)

You can also just open a pension with another provider and pay money in. You will (eventually) get a bonis 20/40% tax refund paid in there too.

Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading..... Unsavoury images.

You should be able to link to an external image site.

My parents had their current house built - an awesome oak framed building. I got the frame design from the architects and turned it into a 3D printed jigsaw.

Each beam had a bit on the end that plugged into the relevant socket (with a little bku-tacto help in some cases)

I had done no 3d modeling previous to this, and practically none after. Took me months, awesome though!

Looks like crusades will become a lot more dangerous too. Currently it's surprisingly easy to beat them solo even sometimes.

What does a week of groceries look like to you? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I tend to spend a weekend cooking and freezing loads, then not really cooking for weeks.

So it's a massive targeted shop every few weeks to do that, then mostly small trips (often on foot/bike) to the local shops to get milk and any odd things I run out of, or if I feel like mixing dinner up with something else.

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
