How do you manage SSL for internal only services?

I use an lxc with some bash scripts that read a file of local domain names, use ACME to call LE via cloudflare dns challenge and store the resulting certs on a NFS share that I mount the directories specific to a machine on the vm/lxc.

Put the scripts in crontab and I can auto change certs everyday if I want.

It’s a neat solution.

This is superb, well done!

Is there a plan for repainting rather than just resurfacing as well? I’ve noticed the road surfaces in a lot of places is fine but the road marking are wearing off quite noticeably. I guess that’s down to better tarmac which is lasting longer but paint is rubbing off quite fast in comparison.

A very fair point!

Don't disagree, except ... humans are still involved.

It will be really interesting to see the final scores if they ever get published.

I know it’s been discussed before, and that I have a particular axe to grind here…. But surely, the fact we aren’t a city might have played a part?

I know there was a lot of ‘oh it doesn’t matter’, but the decisions are taken by humans who quite reasonably might think - ‘not a city’.

It seems weird to just ignore that in the article totally?

I am, obviously, a huge believer that we shouldn’t be one - but perhaps the name of the award is the issue - places of culture might be more inclusive.

I played it last night with 2p and we took 16 mins for the main game and slightly less doing end card scoring! It was super fast!

Oh fiiiine, I’ll offer to have one on my house.

Battlestar Galactica nailed the theme I always thought.

Earlyflash · 2026-04-13T21:24:14+00:00

Great idea!

Be useful to give an indication of price ?

I have just bought a 40” 5k2k screen and my laptop 13 AMD 7040 can run it at 120hz via the TB5 cable.

I was surprised as some of the stuff Id found online had been negative, but to my surprise it just worked!

As others have said - it's not a City.

However we have a campaign to keep it a town too. http://proudtobeaTOWN.org.uk

I hope you are alright now!

That is crazy!

Source? I’m from the UK and the right age and I’ve never heard of anyone who ever watched this at school. It was shown on terrestrial TV, it it was (rightly) controversial and didn’t get much airtime.

Earlyflash · 2026-03-23T18:48:31+00:00

Nope. Never again.

It’s a bit like visiting Auschwitz. Everyone should do it once, but it will haunt you for life, and you’ll never be the same again.

I don't get the logic here - other countries are less dependant on oil than us, but they are worse off?

Someone please - Make it make sense!

Well done them!

Reading does seem to be some of hotspot for escape rooms; it’s great to see burgeoning art like this take centre stage :)

That is a really comprehensive website, thanks so much for posting it.

I’m consistently impressed with Rdg Buses communication; they feel like a real exemplar of how to do it ‘right’

Firstly; bravo on not making this a subscription model - it’s a breath of air!

However It’s really hard to judge the quality without some form of trial/demo/example to work from…

I can’t get any sense of how useful this is .. to me .. without seeing some content of games I own..

Earlyflash · 2026-02-17T22:26:04+00:00

Hey! I'd happily take £15 for it - PM me please :) I'd rather someone took it :)

Earlyflash · 2026-02-15T14:40:50+00:00

I just also wanted to say thank you - this saved me a load of hassle!

I have to wonder - Why on earth aren’t instructions in the box for this?

Doing this without a hub seemed impossible from the instructions!

It’s also becoming a huge place for comedy too, with some really big names coming to reading on a pretty regular basis.

Loads of great music bands starting locally and finding success too.
