borg backup + ms office family, it comes with 6*1TB (split in 6 accounts)

mine is: Let the FOSS be with you

Well, that’s true in my case. Years of using Ubuntu, and finally I decided to move to Mint when they FORCED firefox to run via snap. I followed some guides to download firefox with apt and disable the snap version, and somehow Ubuntu ended up using snap again without my authorization. Also snap was not able to read/write /tmp folder, which I used a lot. Flatpak doesn’t have that problem.

So, yes, I recommend mint, for me it has the best of Ubuntu and fixes exactly what I didn’t like.

The Ubuntu user base is huge and helpful, and almost all of that applies directly to Mint.

Scrapping the Internet is not illegal. All AI companies did much more beyond that, they accessed private writings, private code, copyrighted images. they scanned copyrighted books (and then destroyed them), downloaded terabytes of copyrighted torrents … etc

So, the message is like piracy is OK when it’s done massively by a big company. They’re claiming “fair use” and most judges are buying it (or being bought?)

Maybe it would be easier if the earth would be flat :)

You’re doing a conversion when you ask that question. My point is, there is no gain, is just converting one system for another that requires the exact work. Then we’ll have tables of “workzones per country” and we need to do the same conversion to setup a meeting.

That would be shifting from timezone to “workzone” or “noonzone”. At this moment you need to setup a meeting with people, then you ask which is their timezone. With global UTC timezone, then you need to ask, which are your work hours? (workzone).

It is about the difference of temperature, so, being under the sun for long time makes it more risky, even if the water is not so cold.

I added another link that maybe explains it better.

What you mention is also important, “entering water slowly…”

I added another source that relates alcohol and copious meal.

is not made up, reading this Wikipedia entry parents would say “better safe than sorry”

it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

firefox

considering the big monopoly of chrome based is not really free, it’s paid by google or microsoft mining user data

Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational by Michael Shermer

I’m wondering if this is a real threat, or a conspiracy theory. If it’s a real threat, wouldn’t be the same with the NSA?

Tears in heaven from Eric Clapton. I always liked this song, and didn’t have a special connotation. But after learning its backstory, now I just feel sadness when I hear it. :-(

with compound interest that will be soon a googol of dollars :-)

I’m also a switcher from ovh to hetzner. Good service, good support, fast machines, the administration website is very good (ovh was slow and ugly), snapshots and backups are cheap and directly available (AFAIR ovh snapshots required a monthly fee). Hetzner is Germany based, good for GDPR, and now they have data centers in USA too.

The 7 habits of highly effective people. Stephen R. Covey

I like so much this book, it teaches so many things, one of those that I preach more is the 4 quadrant matrix for effective time management: An enlightening tool for people that live their lives solving crisis after crisis.

I’m the type of person who gives money back to a cashier when they make a mistake by incorrectly giving me more money, that’s very rare in the country where I was born.
