Woke up with better, simpler idea for current project that wouldn't involve throwing anything away. Had one extra technical challenge, wasn't sure I'd work it out but found a hacky way while having breakfast 🎉
Might launch today if no other faffy tasks get in the way

The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.
The CCC declares representing racism and fascism (…) to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.”

"Move fast and break things" is "haste makes waste" restated as an objective.
apologies for some brief offline time there...
the mightiest of UPS powers and dual resilient links all bow before the accidental application of tea.
tea has now been removed from the area and everything cleaned and dried off again.
we mourn the loss of a cheap D-link 5-port gig switch (that conveniently ran so well off a USB-to-jack cable).
its duties have been taken on by its identical twin.
£6.99 well spent on having a backup I feel.
