Good idea. Pizza's not topical - everyone likes pizzas.

Here's the logo of one of my favourite pizzarias for you to use.

What? Maybe you should just stop trying to guess what people think or tell them what they know.

You're welcome to your opinion that it's only been a dozen years of bad behaviour but I do not share it and nor do many, many others. Feel free to have a browse, much of this goes back to 2001, many lawsuits filed in the early 2010s had evidence going back a decade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Google

I'm not responding any further.

I've been using Google since 1998, and everyone loved them because their search indexed sites quicker than others and the search results were more useful than the competition at the time like Yahoo and Altavista and AskJeeves. They started turning nasty as soon as they gained steam & commercial success with AdWords.. around 2003-2004. So no, while they get worae each year they haven't been 'the good guys' for decades.

Google were maybe seen as the good guys back in the days of Yahoo search, and perhaps the very early days of Android.

But those times are so long passed. Google has been a tax-avoiding, anti-consumer rights, search-rigging, anti-privacy behemoth for decades now, and they only get worse with each passing year.

I'm quite certain that this deal is intended to be unpalatable to Ukraine - it was cooked up by Trump and Putin after all.

Either way they win:

Ukraine takes the deal: they win; Ukraine says the deal is ridiculous and walks away: then Russia & Trump brand them as unrealistic agitants and delay for more favourable terms and extend the war.

Simple question but can be a complex answer. Basically it depends where your phone gets DNS from: if it's using the ISP DNS (or some other public DNS server) it will resolve the public internet IP of your server and the data will route out to the ISP WAN before being routed back in.

On the other hand you can configure a split DNS system, so say you are using your modem/gateway as your DNS server and it forwards DNS queries up to your ISP (or other) DNS server - a common setup, 1. you can add in a static host entry for your local server. Eg 'yourservice.yourserverdomain.com = 192.168.1.20 (your server's LAN IP)'

Now when your phone is on the WiFi and it looks up your server's address it gets the local IP and routes locally, which will be faster.

If you need more info, search for terms like 'reverse proxy split DNS best practice'.

That's probably for the best Jamie Oliver - you do have a public persona to consider.

Ah, just what the Federation would aspire to: the silencing of any critical thought by undemocratically-installed secret leaders. Really does seem like the mod is a fan of NuTrek retcons.

(Secret because the mod log is usually obfuscated to users, so they don't even know which mod deleted their comment to appeal the decision)

You can drink a zero sugar saccharine drink every day for the rest of your life and experience no problems from it whatsoever. It's the most tested artificial sweetener in history and has been used commercially since the 1890s.

People switching to the low and zero sugar products is a good thing. It is much healthier than people drinking sugary beverages - which is the alternative that that they replace. They do not replace water.

Switching from smoking to vaping is an improvement, but not a fair comparison as vaping has been shown to have significant negative health impacts.
