You’re bismuth??? 😱

A lot of websites do not know what wiki is supposed to be.

One Czech search engine has a wiki page which is actually just a list of repeatedly searched things, and it does include a lot of wild stuff.

It does sound like a good idea.

Mid-update you can end up with broken dependencies and thus not fully working system. There may also be a problem with how programs update their config files.
This is especially true with big updates which is why Arch and Manjaro recommended to update from plain TTY during the Plasma 6 upgrade. Reboot, do not login, switch to TTY, stop the graphical login manager, just then proceed with upgrade.
A bit too much to ask for from regular users. Especially since it relies on them reading update announcements before each update.

Personally, I always close most stuff during updates. I even had terminal emulator itself die during update on Linux Mint.

if you are willing to put work into yourself.

Is my guess.

Certainly better than nothing. Going to a therapist can be hard, both mentally and economically.

I am not sure I understand your comment.

Blocking outgoing traffic blocks all outgoing traffic, thus including traffic outside of VPN.
Allowing outgoing connections to the VPN server simply makes an exception in that blocking, otherwise you couldn’t even connect to a VPN.

Oof, sorry. This will depend on OS and the software you use for FW configs. I am too dumb.

For example, I use UFW on Linux. So for me it’s

# Deny all incoming and outgoing traffic by default
ufw default deny outgoing
ufw default deny incoming

# Allow connection to VPN server
ufw allow out to <VPN server IP address> [port] <VPN server port number> [proto] <tcp|udp>

# Allow connection via VPN interface
ufw allow out on <interface name> from any to any

# Enable UFW
ufw enable

That’s just one simple way.

I’ve heard they monitor the torrents and try downloading from the peers as evidence of them distributing the content.

Anyway, you could set up firewall rules to only allow connections via VPN interface (and out to the VPN server, of course).

I don’t have a BluRay drive.

Also DVD protection is fully compromised.
BluRay is still very much relevant, and so is its DRM. I don’t really understand the used system, something with AACS keys that can be revoked. This gets updated on the drive itself, and the list of keys to be revoked is distributed on BluRay discs itself.
All I know is the end result is that after inserting a newly released BluRay, it’s possible you won’t be able to play some older ones without updates.

Seems this can be mitigated by backing up the VUK of each disc until the keys are revoked: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray

But anyway, to me it just sounds like an unstable system. One day you can watch all your collection, the next day after watching a new movie you just get “AACS Host Certificate Revoked” error.
The only sure way would be ripping the discs, but hey, might just pirate it at that point.

Oh, and I am not even talking about HDCP on dedicated BluRay players. Whoops, your TV doesn’t support HDCP, buy a new one!

There’s one LED advertisement board in my area that I see pretty often. Nowdays I’d say it shows something it’s not supposed to more often than an advertisement.

Previously I’ve seen BSOD on it a couple of times, but recently a lot. Also “Finish setting up this device” and part of the desktop showing Windows 11 wallpaper.
My guess is someone upgraded it from Windows 10 to 11, and now it works even less.

Surprised?

Google mail is extremely unlikely to get shut down.

But anyway, Proton Mail allows importing e-mails from Google.

No kids.

I don’t want any more stress, and I don’t like kids anyway. Plus the idea of bringing someone else in this world… I want to die, why would I cause living to someone else?

And even if my views do change in the future, I’d rather go for adoption. Not only would I not create more life, but I could perhaps give someone a better chance.
I don’t really understand the appeal of your kids being blood-related anyway. What’s the point?

I found more info here (news.com.au).

“[It] appears right now the pump was put in there, and it was probably malfunctioning because of the open pipe that she ended up in was supposed to be pushing water out.”

I only use it to order DVDs sometimes. I can’t buy them in English (original) locally, and shipping from UK is generally cheap, just slow. And we’re also region 2.

576p, yes, but I like DVDs, and physical media is the only way I plan to purchase movies.

They just pull out of those states. How is that an attack?
