It's kind of amazing how many veteran Linux greyhairs I've seen, downstream of the age-check-in-systemd decision, saying well I guess I need to get comfortable with a BSD now. Thirty plus years of deep-grooved Debian/RedHat muscle memory to a one, quietly tidying up and looking for the exits.

Just been quoted 143.3 ppl for heating oil.

It'll soon be cheaper to run the heating on road fuel even with the duty.

Heating oil price from local consortium. January 57ppl + VAT, today 120ppl + VAT. I'd normally be ordering about 1200l. I think I'll try and delay.

PS. Already have a TV licence but not to watch this XXXX

We've never been able to manage dry January, too many home and family events.

So here's to dry February, chastity February and brassiered February.

The last is the most difficult, just one strap adjustment at an event and you're made.
