I run a Pi Zero W over wifi as my backup pi-hole so that clients can still connect if my main system is updating or down. Planning to get a more powerful one for OctoPrint.

You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick? by mintyfrog in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Disagreeing with general consensus ≠ wrong

An entire country being contrary just because of national pride and arrogance is completely different.

Is it your position that all countries should have the same language regardless of their cultural history?

Also, it isn't rooted in national pride or arrogance. Aluminum came first and was the name given by the first chemist - a British scientist - to isolate the metal. The variant aluminium came from a reviewer who changed the spelling just because he liked the sound better. Aluminum was recognized by ACS 65 years before IUPAC standardized to aluminum. IUPAC has recognized aluminum as an acceptable spelling since 1993. So yeah, the general concensus is the aluminum is okay even based on your logic because IUPAC says so.

Considering switching over to Linux. My main concerns are with Music Production (Native Instruments, Bitwig, Arturia etc.) by mintyfrog in c/linux@lemmy.ml

You could always set yourself up to switch to Linux in the future. Every time you buy new hardware, make sure it's Linux-compatible. It may take years, but changes in industry typically are slow so that you can still make money in the interim.
