  • We don’t celebrate it. I think if you buy a calendar, it’ll have the day marked in it.

    As a nation we aren’t heavily unionized. Maybe it’s because we.would have just had a public holiday.

    Aussies have a public holiday on the 25th of April to remember the sacrifices of our soldiers. The day is called ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) day and there are dawn services.

    The day was chosen as the day of the landings at Gallipoli in World War I and was seen as a bit of our emergence of a country in our own right than just another colony of the British Empire.


  • And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.













  • Edit; now I went back and reread the question, I saw opens source. I will leave the comment as it could be a turnkey solution and stepping stone option to going full open source.

    Something like a server on a raspberry pi could be what your after, but I don’t have specific software recommendations for it.

    I’ve just started dabbling, so don’t consider this an expert, but a suggestion.

    Synology nas’s have a focus on data sovereignty . They have Android apps that communicate from your phone to the Nas for media.

    They can also be setup as a private cloud drive initially accessible by VPN to access and a email / web interface as well as instant messager and webdrive

    I gave some though to setting up a small private ‘corporate’ style server where people could access . There’s no subscription fees after the initial hardware purchase as your self hosting.
