Updated version of FeedLand Docker Compose. It’s now possible to run FeedLand on a local machine on a private network.
I’ve now got Feedland running on my mac, despite a really sketchy idea of how docker works. Eventually I’d like to get it running on my pi again. Especially as I’ve a pi 5. But I really need to understand some more about hosting first.

Northern Ireland 1975 Cushla young RC teacher starts an affair with a Married Protestant Lawyer & gets mixed up with a mixed family of a pupil. Spent the whole book tensed against the expected end.
While in Dublin:
They walked up Grafton Street. Buskers were playing guitars, huddles of youths standing about watching them.
Something was wrong. She looked up and down the street and didn’t know what it was until she was in the doorway of Switzers, sliding her handbag off her shoulder and holding it open. Michael laughed. You’re not in Kansas any more, he said.
I remember in the 70s my aunt on a visit to Glasgow going up to the security guard in M&S & opening her handbag.
Read: One day, everyone will have always been against this by Omar El Akkad ★★★★★ 📚
Clearly, logically & beautifully written. I started collecting some of the most powerful quotes, but there is little that could be skipped. The focus on children, the author's own & those in Gaza, is so important.

I have sometimes become so infatuated by a goal that I can visualize myself doing unbelievable things. I learned about men who had powered cars on water, and met some very interesting garage mechanics and backroom scientists who shared both the dream and a lack of knowledge of physics. I thought these folks were brilliant, and backed them all the way. That was not to be.

Maybe they are brilliant, but they weren’t in their work with me.
I’ve started reading this. Laughing out loud more than I expected.

Saw two of these wee guys on the pavement. The one that was not knocked over said something like:
you have been detected and are being observed on cctv, please leave the area.
Seems quite strange to ask folk to leave a public pavement? Maybe I should have tried talking to it?
Crow road Glasgow.
Read: No Friend to This House by Natalie Haynes ★★★ 📚
What do you mean, you didn't see me there? Well, of course you didn't. It's not a trick, it's grammar. Greek uses the masculine and the feminine, but it prefers the masculine (I know). So no matter how many girls were in a room (just one, in this instance), if boys were there too, the word 'children' takes the masculine ending. And the girls disappear. But yes, in case it's unclear, Medea and Jason had three children, two sons and then a daughter. I was a baby when Jason left my mother; Medea fled Corinth holding me in her arms.
Retelling of the Medusa myth, lots of points of view, female, that are only hinted at. The first half is fragmented but it really picks up when Medusa takes over the narrative. Jason doesn't get much respect.

Read: And He Shall Appear by Kate van der Burgh ★★★★ 📚
Working class boy is dazzled by Cambridge & his magician, occultist “friend”. Page turner, dark academia.
Some people say we’re our true selves when we think nobody is watching. But how do we know our own identities without others’ confirming gaze? If, like the tree falling in the proverbial wood, nobody is around to hear us, is our story a story at all? And when were different things to different people, what then?
