Old? Check. Male? Check. Hung out on Epstein island? Check.

Seems like a perfect match to me.

Well, I'm currently writing a service and frontend, both in C# (Blazor for the UI), and using docker-compose to build and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi running Linux. So not only cross-platform, but cross-architecture as well.

This is not a new thing either. Since .NET Core was released almost 10 years ago, it has supported cross platform development.

Assuming your Fiesta produces < 100g/km CO2, looks like you'll now be paying £20/year (as it was manufactured before 2017, different rules apply) - could be worse!

Not quite. Even existing EVs (with some exceptions for older vehicles) will be charged the new basic VED rate of £195 when they are next due to renew (which could be in up to a year's time).

What EV purchasers were trying to avoid was the expensive vehicle supplementary tax of £425/year for cars with a list price of over £40k, which EVs purchased/registered since the start of April are no longer exempt from.

As the vast majority of new EVs on the market fall into that price bracket (including all Teslas except the base tier Model 3), suddenly the yearly tax for most new EV purchases jumps from £195 to £620/year.

Right now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of "you want it, you build it" - but nobody has actually stepped up.

For web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.

For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.

Oh fuck me, HOW in like 25 years did I not get that pun?!

I think you may have Europe confused with Japan.

There are loads of viable alternatives these days with both legacy auto manufacturers closing the gap and a raft of new EV manufacturers joining the market, mostly from China.

I sold my Model 3 last month and took delivery of a new Polestar 2. The only features that I've lost in the switch are the built in dashcam (had to install my own instead) and using my phone as a key (which is supposed to be fixed in the next software update). Other than that, the feature set and specification of the two cars is pretty similar. Except my new one has twice the battery capacity.
