Or been hiding their knowledge of their part in the problem longer than a lot of people have been alive

A worthwhile thing to keep in mind whether it’s for tea, supplements, or whatever, is that medication is based on things that were observed from “natural” sources.

For example, willow bark was/is/has been used for pain and inflammation. It also contains salicin which is similar to acetysalicylic acid, which you’ll know better as aspirin.

Does that mean all the things people say do a thing work? Not at all. Do some of them have varying degrees of effect of some percentage of people? Yes.

I would think it would be calling yourself a professional vampire

I suspect something else is going on there. I made that switch years ago and haven’t found a site that doesn’t play nice with Firefox in that time.

That’d be it, yeah

That’s why I put the extra bit at the end. I think FOSS is or is becoming synonymous with open source.

FOSF isn’t terribly pronounceable, but would technically be a thing too.

Technically speaking shouldn’t this be FOSH?

I know the term has taken hold and is more googlable. Just pedantically speaking.

Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is

Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.

Nah. I’ve had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

prosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds

Heh

I can’t speak for Canada but the American unemployment system is broken like the rest of them are. It won’t pay enough for a lot of people. I know more than one person who wouldn’t get it at all after they got screwed over on an appeal which meant that they had to pay back what they were already sent, often many weeks later. If it’s not paid back then you just won’t receive unemployment until it is.

There’s also fields it can be hard to break in to. They tend to be small and insular so getting a bad rep from one can blackball you from your dreams. Doubly so or more if you’re a women or otherwise not a straight white Christian guy.

Cutting is also not an uncommon mental health issue. With any number of other things weighing down it can easily become a more reasonable seeming option.

There’s a whole world of experiences out there. A lot of people are desensitized to things you’d probably find outlandish.

Would love to emigrate to Europe myself. Familial and social reasons make that difficult. A lack of funds make it unfeasible. So for the foreseeable future I’ve gotta deal with the crap I’ve got.

Fair point. I failed to consider specs

I wanna disagree with you here. I recently dove in to ripping my DVD collection. On average it seems to take 10-20 minutes to rip and then 20-30 to reencode into a more reasonable file size. That’s longer than some downloads but not nearly all. If I’m doing a bunch I can do them simultaneously and save some time that way too.

It’s all moot anyhow, since op mentioned a data cap. I just wanted to offer some perspective I happened to have.

I don’t know what country you live in but are they accepting immigration?

I’m no expert but I’ll offer my input until one shows up.

I use Ubuntu for my Plex server. It eliminates a lot of your complaints with Windows. It’s less resource heavy, you update it yourself, mine runs 24/7 unless I’ve done a kernel update which requires a restart, and that’s just restart time.

It’s definitely among the more ease of use distros, and what you don’t already know will generally not take much effort to find or get help with. Running command line only will free up resources and likely won’t take long to pick up what you need to run how you need to.

All that said I’ve not done anything with NextCloud or Bitwarden.

I think you’re wrong on the overwhelming majority and that they’ll still be fine with it should it happen.

Good luck I guess

And if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.

But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.

This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious

My quote, not theirs. Also Russia is a bully. Similar to the kind that takes lunch money, but on a much larger scale
