Like Denmark, the UK negotiated an opt-out for joining the Euro. But this opt-out would not automatically carry over if the UK rejoined. That means the UK would have to adopt the Euro just like any other member but they would have to meet the convergence conditions and part of those conditions is joining ERM II (exchange-rate mechanism) which is voluntary. So they could stall the adoption indefinitely by not joining ERM II just like Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Romania.

I use Watchtower to automatically fetch the new Home Assistant container image, (with a 3 day delay to decrease the chance of supply chain attacks) then stop the running container and replace it with the new one. This has been running for about a year and I’ve only had one or two breaking changes. Watchtower is scheduled to run at times when I am usually available to correct anything if needed.

In a proper country there are no government shutdowns.
