Gailes railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. Although the station serves the suburb of Gailes in the City of Ipswich, it is actually located just outside the suburb in Wacol, City of Brisbane. It was originally named Pullen Pullen Flats. In 1919, it was renamed Dingo Hill and again in 1925 to Gailes.[1][2]

gollark: Generally it's actually not cheaper to use "cloud" stuff if you plan to use it *constantly*.
gollark: The biggest issue is that I would need to cross-compile everything to ARM.
gollark: My server stuff probably *could* mostly run off a raspberry pi, but those have downsides and when I occasionally do want to do heavy computing it would be VERY IRRITATING.
gollark: I'm sure streaming services would *never* randomly pull content.
gollark: Meanwhile, you can fit probably several thousand movies in DVDish quality on a single high-capacity HDD these days.
