For files I just use WebDAV that's built in to Apache. It's really not fancy, but does all I need.

This might be a good compromise: https://www.fairvote.ca/rural-urban-proportional/

Here in downtown Toronto, ridings are tiny (in terms of area) and the borders are pretty arbitrary, with people on the same street sometimes represented by different MPs and MPPs. It's honestly a bit ridiculous, myself and two friends who live within a couple of minutes walk have two MPPs and three MPs! (Federal and provincial borders are different this year) I'd really be much happier if the whole city becomes one multi-member riding. With Rural-Urban Proportional, rural areas keep local representation kinda like now (FPTP) but get the benefits of proportionality from the regional top-up. I think it's a reasonable, if not perfect.

It's a pretty interesting video actually.

I use RoundCube, I think it's one of the oldest solutions out there, and is pretty good (and not ugly as of a few years ago).

Can I be educated as to what Star Trek Returns is? Is it different to the 2013 to 2017 fan series Star Trek Continues?

Canadians not so nice after all 😜 (I also think it was added in post though)

I know what you're getting at 😆

Decilitre is actually the common unit for drinks in Hungary (and possibly in other countries). Hungarians also use dekagramm, which is 10 grams. But the cool thing about metric is that to convert, you just move the decimal around!

The French actually tried it, here's the Wikipedia article.

A more reasonable thing to do is something like Swatch Internet Time, you get 1000 ".beats" in a day with no time zones. Beyond a day it might not be too helpful to keep decimal, there will be 365+fraction days a year no matter how you measure it.
