Is this labour doing an actual labour thing?

I get what you are saying, but the balance is off.
YT premium costs (edit) more than a streaming service per month.
There are no industry leading movies or series released exclusively on YouTube.
YouTubes benefits of premium is "not being delivered 'skip after 5 seconds' live streams" as an ad that will play indefinitely (or at least for hours).
Also, streaming services provide much better series discovery. Ie, find a show you like and easily discover the start of that series, then binge watch the entire series in order.
YT premium is basically a "play next" queue, 1080p, and no ads.
It doesn't (AFAIK) support creators any more. It's literally just a fee to not-be-inconvenienced, and it's not great at that

How many people are running public facing windows servers in their homelab/self-hosted environment?

And just because "it's worked so far" isn't a great reason to ignore new technology.
IPv6 is useful for public facing services. You don't need a single proxy that covers all your http/s services.
It's also significantly better for P2P applications, as you no longer need to rely on NAT traversal bodges or insecure uPTP type protocols.

If you are unlucky enough to be on IPv4 CGNAT but have IPv6 available, then you are no longer sharing reputation with everyone else on the same public IPv4 address. Also, IPv6 means you can get public access instead of having to rely on some RPoVPN solution.

120 litres (4 people, 10 litres per person per day, 3 days) of water is also 120kg. Pretty unwieldy.
Bathtubs are 160 litres. So, it's essentially storing an extra bathtub.

For me, after looking over the docs, it's close enough to JavaScript that it might as well adopt more of the syntax (for example, conditionals and loops don't use parenthesis). It also has some similarities to python, but again not enough to be python.

Feels like an in-between language that has enough similarities to seem easy, but some gotchas that will regularly catch you out.
And then some extra features like the if chaining, which doesn't have the keyword if or switch in it. So you have to know that that structure implies an if or switch conditional.

Especially for something like bash scripting, which devs probably don't spend as much time doing compared to python or js. So, it would probably take them longer (and break their brain more) than just scripting it in python/js directly or dealing with bash directly.

It's an improvement over bash, and it's nice that it transpiles to bash.
I might have to play around with it and see how it actually feels to use

Imagine the crisis that a public health bulletin stating "red meat should be cooked thoroughly" would cause. Heh heh heh

Is it not chilly as fuck during the winter, when tap water is like 4°c?

I guess Rishi indicated his interest in more oil with the extra permits in the north sea.
The ban on fracking is still in place.
I wonder if permits will be granted.

I hope not, but Im sure a tory gov will tory

Its one reason i use DNS challenge wildcard domains.
I know security through obscurity is not security, and that a leaked wildcard cert is more damaging... However the likelihood of a leaked cert is slim, the convenience is huge, the attack window isn't huge (well, 90 days) and less published information about internals feels more secure.

Yeh, except the battery will provide 12v throughout. So that's essentially just an inrush current.

A ballast is actually the opposite. It limits the current.
From wiki:

A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps to limit the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to a destructive level due to the negative differential resistance of the tube's voltage-current characteristic.

And later....

In operation, an increase in current through the fluorescent tube causes a drop in voltage across it. If the tube were connected directly to the power line, the falling tube voltage would cause more and more current to flow, until it destroyed itself. To prevent this, fluorescent tubes are connected to the power line through a ballast. The ballast adds positive impedance (AC resistance) to the circuit to counteract the negative resistance of the tube, limiting the current.

While googling this, it seems like there is an international cap on marine fuels for 0.5% sulphur.
https://www.cruisemapper.com/wiki/752-cruise-ship-engine-propulsion-fuel
A lot of ports and shipping areas require 0.1% sulphur content.

A lot of places I've read say things along the lines of "cruise ships run on diesel, specifically MDO or MGO".
E.g.
https://luxurytraveldiva.com/what-does-a-cruise-ship-use-for-fuel/

Here's a thing about MDO and MGO.
https://maritimepage.com/what-are-mgo-and-mdo-fuels-marine-fuels-explained/
MGO is 0.1% sulphur content.
MDO is 2% sulphur content.
For comparison, car diesel sulphur content is like 0.001%.
Best source I can find for bunker fuel is 3.5%. So, MDO/MGO are better than bunker fuel, I guess. Feels like a rebrand with minor improvements, so everyone can say "yeh, it's just diesel. Not bunker fuel".

But 2% MDO is still a 40% improvement over 3.5% bunker fuel.

Seems like there is a lot of changing and outdated information on this.
And it being related to international trading, laws and standards... There doesn't seem to be a reliable definitive source on it.

My takeaway is "yeh, it's not bunker fuel. It's diesel. But it's not diesel as we know it from driving cars, trucks, tractors and other plant"

Yeh, it would probably be "oh six oh five" for us military time.
They pronounce the leading 0.
