TFW you notice that your Synology-local-backup to cloud-backup hasn't been working since you moved in October 2024 because you’d stupidly hardwired the Synology DNS to the former residence’s now-wrong 192.168. Would have been sad if the house burned down. Would have been nice if the Synology had complained.
Discovered this in the course of a search for a non-US (ideally Canadian) Synology-friendly cloud backup. Promising: eazyBackup and ionos.ca HiDrive.

"The #Labour party won one third of the votes (34%) in an election in which under two thirds (60%) of the electorate voted. Only one in five (20.4%) registered electors in Britain support this government. It has no mandate to do anything. If it tries to do anything radical, then, as Thatcher did with the poll tax, it will find the difference between Westminster games and real politics.

The Trump White House is changing the rules of our political system
through intimidation,
the distortion of information,
financial corruption,
and the dismantling of government offices.
In the final episode of this season, we examine whether the administration is also trying to change the rules of our elections.
