The Irish Government blaming our Met Service for our weather - having failed miserably on flood relief & protection - is some next level gaslighting.

I turned my spare laptop into a home server and use nextcloud so I can do everything locally but also it's linked to a subdomain on my website so I can access it from anywhere. The laptop was free and the domain is about 30 a year I think. I also have my own search engine, website & media server.
