This is a bit of a weird one, I read the article and noticed Leeds council is 4th. Now I'm not sure about Bristol but Leeds most definitely does have an art galley that is wholly owned and operated by the council, not to mention that entrance is entirely free.

I'm sure you could also make the argument about the council owning lots of valuable land that has been hoarded and should be sold off, until you realise that this is land is actually parks.

At some point you have to follow the money and realise that the central government has been underfunding councils for many years. Remember that councils are set up to manage an area so that MPs don't have to and can look at the bigger picture stuff (in theory).

If the council can't pay it's workers properly, then it's the government that can pay it's councils properly, either though direct funding or policy changes that put extra financial burden on the council, or both

The r4s doesn't have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I'm not too concerned about failure, I'm hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

Storage wise I'm using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I'm glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install

I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

Don't think of it as an installation, it's writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I've got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅

Why do you need 60TB of Linux Isos? Or do you mean "Linux Isos ;)"

Rothschilds are diamonds and other crap,

It's the Australian Rupert Murdoch

Although him and a Lord Rothschild have been involved in some fuckery with oil in Israel

I think the correct answer is some billionaire

Consider this; you were taught Microsoft in school as it's used in work environments, Microsoft is used in work environments as it's taught in schools or the person making the decision was only taught one product.

Why do you think Microsoft is giving free upgrades from windows 10 to 11, same thing from XP upwards. It's vendor lock in, and that's bad for many reasons

The whole fuckery around OOXML is what finally pushed me in in to open source and ultimately Linux.

No offence, but have you been living under a Microsoft shaped rock for the past 30 years?
