XMPP. A business can self-host, there are public servers, or there are many businesses which offer customised xmpp hosting as a service.
I can be federated with other xmpp servers or be a locked-down work-only service, or federate with chosen other servers (such as a client company’s xmpp servers).
Yeah nah, that’s not the way. Sure people can get away with it, but it’s really not eliminating the hazards.

There’s a bunch of non-obvious hazards which exist around cutting into containers which have held fuels, including but not limited to:
- An empty propane container could have an gas+air mixture inside it in proportions which could explode.
- Any liquid residue in an empty fuel container can be vapourised by the heat of the cutting, creating a fuel+air mix which can spontaneously explode from the pressure and heat, even without sparks (think: diesel engine principle but instead of a 0.25L cylinder it’s a 200L cylinder).
- An empty gas canister can be contaminated with heavier oils/waxes that could build up over the years of refilling cycles, creating the same hazard as noted for empty liquid fuel containers.
Methods to reduce the hazard include:
- Thoroughly washing the inside of the container before cutting (access can be difficult though).
- Filling with water and cutting while full of water. (Container musn’t be sealed, and the cutting method must be safe to use in a wet environment, and further hazards such as introducing oxygen into the container need to be considered).

Yeah, I can never quite tell with articles sometimes…
Among many elements of the story that absolutely fail to raise sympathy:
[…] They planned to subdivide their block into 26 lots once the land was rezoned as residential, live on one block and drip-feed two or three others on to the market each year.
…just what we need – a drip-feed of low-density housing.
Yet another moment since Labor’s re-election where I think “Ooh, Albo’s going mask-off!”.
Please let’s have minority governments, our electoral and political system is ideal for it!
Reader mode exposes a much better headline:
Scientists testing deadly heat limits on humans show thresholds may be much lower than first thought
“Current AI models cannot forget data they were trained on, even if the data was later removed from the training data set,” Han’s report said.
Bullshit. You delete the entire model and start again.
