So presumably I can just use dd to install the latest #RaspberryPi OS direct to the SD card, same as we used to with Raspbian back in the day? I ask because there is no fucking way I am installing a click-and-drool tool as an appimage, any more than I would flatpaks or snaps.

UK Tax returns have gone digital, which is fine in principle. What is not fine is that pretty much only paid solutions are acceptable for submitting a return.
If electronic tax returns are mandatory, the government should be providing a cost-free means. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/769610#action

Someone appears to be harvesting University email addresses and pre-emptively signing them up to UNiDAYS. How do I know? I just got a verification email for UNiDAYS account I don't have...
Two of the three places I used to work in Woking are now completely different buildings.
I need to rent an SUV for two one-way trips. (I'm not going to pay for several days of the vehicle sitting idle.) Enterprise used to do drop-off and pick-up, but apparently they only do it for corporate accounts these days.
Are there any other options?
Also, is there a better alternative to FreePBX, which seems - shall we say - more than a little quirky.
Question for anyone using #FreePBX - what material benefit is there when "activating" a FreePBX system that runs perfectly well without it (other than putting it on record with Sangoma, and permitting the "sysadmin" module which is nothing short of coercive)?
Somebody lost a treasured item.

Lost a very special Coraline Cat at the Kneecap Crystal Palace gig in London on Saturday night.
