To be honest, you would get frequent notifications for updates that are probably more often than just to remind you. If you’re like me, you’ll just end up ignoring them anyway! There are a lot of small updates to a lot of software, most often not from a security point of view but just as people develop their projects. I update every week if I can but can be a couple of weeks, in which I start to feel “guilty” so when it builds up I know I have to do it

Sorry this doesn’t answer your question really but I’ve had issues when I used to auto update containers so stopped doing that. Some things have breaking changes, others just had issues in that release that caused me issues accessing stuff when not at home. I update every so often when I have ten minutes to do updates, check release notes and deal with any issues if they arise or roll back to that version. I spin up what’s up docker to see what’s changed then when finished, stop the container so it doesn’t keep on polling docker hub using my free allowance.

In short, it could be an option to spin it up, let it run, then stop the container so theres less risk it could be used for an attack.

Well said!

That’s a good point about public transport, although cars still end up massively more subsidised without people realising if you factor in externalities but it’s harder to take away subsidies than to introduce them.

The problem with fuel duty is, like you said that it has flatlined but that also, it does not cover electric cars. They still take up road space, infrastructure, cause tyre wear, etc. I understand we want to move from ICE but we should move towards a mix of public transport, e-bikes, bikes, e-scooters and walking, not just replacing ICE cars with big electric cars.

Some sort of tax difference on size and/or weight of car would be good.

I know this will never fly but I always say to my partner there should be an extra driving licence class for larger cars so they have to take a test. If you can’t keep your unnecessarily large car in a lane, park inside of a space, go around tight corners, reverse the car properly etc you shouldn’t be able to buy one. It’s crazy watching some drivers struggle with them. My partner is not confident with the size so guess what, we got a normal sized hatchback and it’s been absolutely fine!

I was naturally against toll roads here in the UK for most of my life as my thought process was that they are pretty random and they were to pay for the specific infrastructure project but ended to extorting those users whilst others were built by the govt. However, now I look and think why should I pay the same as people who drive a lot more miles than I do, who drive much unnecessarily bigger cars than I do, and who choose to drive short distances instead of walking / cycling than I do. Now, mileage based taxes make sense to me. Not sure you could ever convince the general population of that though, especially the older generations who vote more
