A great alternative is Traefik. We have been using v1 and v2 for several years now in a setup that uses the docker labels for configuration of services.

It's called breaking up walled gardens, (quasi) monopolies and protecting consumer rights. It's outright wrong to call this 'annoying'.

How out of touch that you think 60 million would not do any good. You could change so many lives for the better.

Please read more fiction. Why should everything be about becoming a 'better' person? Why not enjoy a good story? Unconsciously you will learn something, even from fiction.

Do you have any documentation on that? I have a hard time finding the relevant details on this.

Let your garden go wild. Better for nature (insects), hardly any maintenance and helps keep the temperature down in summer.

We ate horse steak in the 80-90’s at Home, in Belgium. Almost every butcher still sells it nowadays. “100gr van ‘t perdje” (100 gram of horse ham)

> Speaking of electrification, ..

Probably because the housing stock in continental Europe is older and therefor much more often retrofitted with modern electricity. Newly build houses won't have that problem. Although I'm not aware of fire regulations having an effect on the number of outlets in a room, in my region (Belgium).

We host our own gitlab runners. It gives us more punch for less € and it was relatively easy to set up and is easy to maintain/upgrade.
