Network Attached Storage. A computer on a network designed to store files people work on. It usually has several hard drives that work together for extra speed and redundancy if a hard drive fails.
While I don't want to say this is a perfect solution, it is a free solution, and one id checkout early, that said I'd still recommend shopping around to see what best meets your needs.
You could get a Gmail account for the business/ website and then register for a free WordPress site. WordPress is both software you can download for self hosting and a website service where they take care of everything (for free or a price. The free version may end up with the website having ads served to viewers and only has limited upload).
As for design, there are a few free as well as paid templates. They can also get your site a domain like yourbusiness.com , but you can get a free subdomain at WordPress like yourbusiness.wordpress.com
If you wanted to go complex, you could self host or hire a virtual computer to host from a cloud provider, but things like making sure software is up to date and security patches applies are up to you. You might already have a server / network attached storage device which could be the server and get the domain linking to it and have your router forward incoming traffic to it, but it depends on how hands on you want to be.
I reckon a Pelican would easily be able to get a skateboard rolling. I'm just now sure the best steps to proceed testing it.
I'd try a skateboard at the top of a hill and see about getting a cockatoo to somehow get the board to roll under it's own propulsion so it can sit back and enjoy a ride down a hill. That'd be the way I'd try if I wanted the bird to do it repeatedly.
My guess is with the protests that some of the top content creators moved away and never came back.
I remember sorting by hot once gave a wide variety of things and now it seems to be more drama posts like AITA posts.
Although it feels like I'm still following an ex, There was one place over there I used to visit a lot and I believe if you took a snapshot of the top ten posts of a random day few years ago and today, they'd be very different. Today's seems to be a group picking up a trend and running with it and before it was more original content. I remember going there because I knew there'd be something new I'd likely laugh at or be amused by and now it feels heavily recycled.
The subscriber count is still way up, but I'd you look at the online/active user count, it feels like its around 10% it was off recent highs.
It felt like the sub had a ship of thecleus moment where it seemed to just be growing, but was also losing people until the group changed but the name was the same.
Someone else said the new reddit gold allows people to receive real money* if people gild their posts (by spending real money) * receiver must be in certain countries.
I saw a post recently on a wholesome memes page where someone tagged repost sleuth bot and someone else commented that todays post was literally a copy of the third top voted post of all time. It was.
I also remember that bot support got affected and this led to a spam detector bot being moved from active development to sunset mode where it was still supported but not actively enhanced.
Edit: my comment isn't about exactly the same thing, but ..
Some new camera tech might be opening a can of worms about whether what's pictured can be taken literally.
There was a story late last year of a woman trying on a wedding dress in front of two mirrors and someone snapped a photo.
When they looked at it, the reflection on the left mirror had a different pose to the reflection on The right mirror.
And this cast doubt on what exactly was going on the moment the shutter was pressed.
It looks like the camera had one of the stitch together the best photo of the people pictured (e.g. don't show shots of people blinking etc) and it treated the mirror images as different people.
You also find some xkcd comics.

I just tried about 10 mins ago and was able to upload.
I just tried again and was able to upload. https://lemmy.world/post/13207765
I'm getting the same error message, attempting to upload on Linux with firefox. I originally tried a 3.7meg file, then 2.0meg and then 0.6meg and all gave same error. Edit: i am now able to upload.
It wouldn't be all I'd eat, but lamingtons for dessert would be nice.
Lamingtons: a cake cut into cubes and coated with chocolate sauce and then coated with coconut. May be sliced in half to be joined by a later of cream.
It's a photo I took while out on a walk. A hoverfly on a sunflower.
I try to post interesting shots to mastodon and c/pics and help grow Lemmy and the fediverse.
Yup. Definitely keep an eye out in case they try something. I remember a story about one on a balcony dropping pot plants off the side. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-30/cockatoo-video-dropping-pot-plants-melbourne/101710478
Thank you. They were by the side of the road and used to humans nearby. Ive seen them before chill around parks and fly off whenever they think we get too close.

> Another cockatoo was also eating in another tree. I got the feeling they knew they were being photographed, but one of them screeched an alarm shortly after and the whole group flew off. I saw a flock well over a hundred flying around the suburb later that day. > > !
I can't help directly, but the people at https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport mighr be able to.
And when it learns something new, the response will be "Holy Hell".
I'm not sure it fully meets the specs, but have a look at the TIC80 it's an open source fantasy console you can write code for.
Imagine something like a 1st generation console game system fully sypported by emulators. I've touched on it on a recalbox.
You have a point of merging the Senate into the House.
I'm a fan of Australia's federal voting system. We have a house of Representatives where the country is divided into 151 regions by geography of roughly the same number of people. One in Sydney is a few suburbs, the one in the south of northern Territory is almost the whole territory excluding Darwin.
Then there's the Senate, where each State gets to elect twelve(six every 3 years[1]) Senators. Territories (Australian Capital Territory & Northern Territory) elect Two Sentors every election.
Everyone in the state gets a say in who represents them as Senators and allows minor parties to get representation as only 16% of the total vote is needed to get a seat. (The Greens typically get 1-2 of seats in each State)
So for areas with geographic issues get to have a say (rural people vote for the National party who represent farmers interest).
And there's the occasional independent who gets in too and some other minor parties.
The other major difference is we have optional fully preferential voting. You can nominate anyone running in your seat as your first preference on voting day and you give everyone on your ballot a number from 1 to however many. When the Australian Electoral Comission counts the votes if the person you put first is eliminated from the count (they only get 175 votes from the 110,000 who cast a ballot), then your voting slip still counts and your vote transfers to your second choice.
Also we have compulsory* voting here. If you are enrolled, you are required to vote and will get a small fine if you don't. *You might think all politicians are bastards and cast an unfilled ballot paper into the box, but you have had your ability to have a say. I'll also note that people may take the time in the polling booth to draw a penis on their slip which isn't illegal and doesn't invalidate the vote a long as the intention for who is being voted for is clear. There are also prepoll stations and an option to postal vote exists.
We also have a tradition of voters getting a "Democracy Sausage" after voting. It's common that voting stations (elections held on Saturdays) are schools and local clubs have barbecues and sell cakes etc as part of fundraising.
In summary, I like out two house system as the Senate allows minor parties to get representation where they wouldn't otherwise if we just had the House of Representatives. [1] we sometimes have double disillusion elections where the government has the options to call one if they keep passing legislation in the house and the Senate keeps rejecting it and in that case all seats are vacated and the states elect 12 Senators, but it's not normal.

Behind the Sydney Opera House is Circular Quay, which is the hub of ferry traffic in the harbour. There's also private vessels, cruise ships, , a floating bar and the occasional military vessel.
There are several classes of ferry in the fleet, including rivercats (on the left) which have a shallow draft as they travel up the river to Paramatta.
The largest class of Sydney Ferry are the Freshwater class which travels to Manly and back near the Sydney Heads which can lead to a bumpy ride if there's a swell. !
I recently did some freelance work and due to a misunderstanding of what would actually be delivered, I decided to draft up a short but written agreement for future clients.
Although a written discussion was had about what was to be done, it appears both parties had different ideas about what would happen.
Im largely dealing with a client I get on well with and wanted to keep things simple and the template I've got is:-
Event name:
Event dates:
Overview of services to be be provided onsite:
Specific services (if any) : (shots considered essential)
Dependencies:
Deliverables: (quantity, format , delivery timeline)
Copyright: (stay with photographer or rights to be signed over)
Post event services: (any editing that may take significant time)
Cost and payment schedule: (booking fee, payment milestones)
Limitation of Liability: under no circumstances shall I be considered liable for more than the agreed cost of services to be provided.
Travel arrangements: (these might be omitted from what is sent to the client but should be considered)
Accommodation:
Food / Incidentals:
Is there anything you would add ?
Edit: if it was something I'd consider for use with the general public then I would go through a lot more rigour and probably involve lawyers.
Sorry for the lower quality image, I took this one on my phone and as the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.
One of the birds by the trail on a walk i did recently near Shelly Beach, Manly, Australia.
Apologies for the lower quality, it was taken with my phone.
One of the Martian moons travels between the rover and the sun. It's a bit different to my usual posts, and not my OC :).
I believe it's Phobos, so there might be doom music kicking in any second now...

Commonly found around the suburbs and in parks.
Sydney has many ferries travelling on its harbour to help move people around, some are smaller and have a shallow draft like the Rivercats that travel between Circular Quay and Paramatta and there are several other ferry classes painted in Green and Gold.
Note: Image uploaded at 1921x1080 pixels. In some of my other posts in other communities, some people said the images were small, and it looks like Lemmy creates thumbnails as .webp files and some of these may be shown. I'm using the default theme and have to click on the image to get it to show the full resolution image.
Canberra is known at the Bush Capital and it's common to see kangaroos in the parks of the suburbs.
Sydney has several different types of ferries, the larger ones travel to Manly (highly recommended) and the smaller ones travel around the harbours various wharves. There's also the rivercats which travel up the river to Paramatta.
