Who is externally reaching these servers?
Joe public? Or just you and people you trust?

If it's Joe public, I wouldn't have the entry point on my home network (I might VPS tunnel, or just VPS host it).

If it's just me and people I trust, I would use VPN for access, as opposed to exposing all these services publicly

    That's just people not used to dedicated cycle paths.
    You would likely have as many issues of a pedestrian trying to cross a road and not seeing a cyclist, as you would travelling on a dedicated cycle path with an ignorant pedestrian.

    It just needs everyone calling out people on cycle paths. They likely aren't even aware they are on it.

    But that's a lot to read into a single picture. Maybe they have checked both ways, and know nobody is coming (like they would with cars on a road)

    Edit:
    The 2 people further down don't look like they are crossing!

    I can understand.
    We have some new dedicated cycle lanes in our city (I mean, they are a few years old now. But fairly unique in our country).
    I feel bad for the cyclists. They have a dedicated path, which pedestrians are super ignorant of (they are better marked than this picture).
    My parents think they are a menace when they visit, because they are unaware of them and get menaced by cyclists.
    Except, that's literally what roads are. They just grew up with roads and (even faster) cars.

    So, I am understanding of the transition.
    And everyone needs to call everyone out over it. It will make everyone safer

    WRT macros & VBA conversion:

    with AI to save time and avoid errors

    Maybe it saves time, but I doubt it avoids errors.
    I would rather the time spent to develop this was spent on improving the plugin/extension/macro development ecosystem.
    I know they have an SDK, and I'm sure it's great.

    But with MS Office, I can install Visual Studio, create a new VSTO plugin for what I'm targeting (excel, word, powerpoint, outlook etc), and get into coding. When I hit Play (as in run with debugger) it will launch the targeted application and build/hook in my plugin.
    It's literally idiot proof, until it gets to writing code (then it's c#).
    And Visual Studio is a decent IDE.
    The only thing really holding it back is the terrible documentation from Microsoft regarding the VSTO or Com Interop or whatever it's called. It's truely terrible, trying to figure out how to implement your idea.

    Make Codium systems similar to Platform.io (which is for Arduino, ESP32 etc), except for your given office suite.
    Make it better than the Visual Studio VSTO experience.

    That's what I really want.
    And more people to use it, of course. I'm so fed up of Microsoft crap

    Reason number 75 people should always be well clear of these test.

    Yup, except for the really important guage that is installed on the pad, that only Elon musk is smart enough to be able to understand.
    He absolutely has to monitor that guage in realtime.

    I guess if the rocket hadn't disassembled itself, then it could be used again.
    I think static fire is part of the testing to proceed to a launch? So, now they have to build another and static fire that as well in order to get back to where they should be.

    Yeh, I'd just do early return.
    It's not much more typing, and I find it easier to read and navigate specific conditional paths.

    Some built in pattern matching would be cool (like the when keyword), but I'm not going to force it into my code

    I feel if it was something like "Swedish Prime Minister launches their own meme coin", it would be world news.
    Or maybe a country that pushes for their own produce to have Geographical Indication (like scotch or champagne) then churning out a bourbon.

    I get that it's local to the US.
    But the US is also currently pissing on global politics with their irrational/misguided/ignorant tariffs, with a strong flavour of "returning jobs to the US".
    And the president of the US is now saying they will launch a Made In US phone for $400.
    And Made In US has to actually be made in the US (by their own laws), not just assembled there.

    So maybe not actual world news, it does contribute to the global opinion/perception of the US government.

    Another example would be a country that criticises another country for abuse of its own citizens, then turning around and abusing its own citizens. At least as I see it.


    But I get your point. It's the US doing things to the US.
