That's a feature supporters of imperial thinks it has. Even if imperial/some special third option is better for guessing, the difference has to be big enough that it's worth the hassle of having multiple systems or converting everyone again. If it's not worth having two systems but it is worth converting everything , then you still have to keep or prove that it's worth losing the conveniences of metric like 1 km = 1000 m , 1 L of water weighing 1 kg , water freezing and boiling at 0 and 100 °C

My homeserver runs Debian with Freedombox, and I'm using their GnuDIP ddns service, but it's for free subdomains, not your own.

I used to have a script to update my own domain in Gandi console. I only stopped because I didn't really need a domain for my home.

It's good for email and personal sites (those aren't dead, but they're more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I'd only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don't know, I wouldn't use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it's not your name.

There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it's fun so I'm keeping it.

For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.

I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

Maybe it's just not for me. I'm not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don't fit in last month's wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

Even if you do properly budget, I don't see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

Yes multiple gas stations, car washes, tankers, and as a sponsor for Ferrari race cars. Similar deals with Exxon and Esso.
Since the 90s it's all their fictional Octan brand instead

I'm sure there must be some edible plants that like salt?

Well it's not the very rich, they're not paying inheritance tax either way.

From all the news and jokes I thought it was at least serious (like the Love Parade crush, or the storm at Pukkelpop) But it was just muddy?

Mostly unrelated environmental stuff like microplastics come up a lot when talking about climate. People confuse climate and environment.
