Same here. The missus is almost crawling on the walls due to the lack of social contact, while I'm having the time of my life; the lack of social interactions gives me so much extra spare time.
I have a dummy hotspot with no access to anything whatsoever, and which I allow my TV to connect to. Apart from exposing an undocumented API (with code execution capabilities), and allowing logging in as root over…
This. I've used it extensively and it's simply unparallelled.
Semi-semi-related, there was a commercial distro named Amithlon that booted straight into AmigaOS 3.9. Alas, it was discontinued, but it had a really nice AmigaOS feel to it.
Definitely. It affects then entire experience to such an extent that you want to go to bed early in order to lie between freshly dried sheets.
Let's hope someone with a similar view-point doesn't discover Earth, then! :D Jokes aside, you are right, of course. We don't have to worry about environmental effects or native populations in the same way when dealing…

Just an addition to that: Don't use the cheapest possible provider available if you get a VPS to use as an email server; chances are the spammers are doing the same thing and that your emails will be sent straight to…
Yeah, and here in Finland we have North American Beavers too, since someone decided to introduce them in the 30's. They have a somewhat devastating effect on the local forests...
I cancelled mine a few months ago, and could do it through Microsoft's web site. It was a pain to find the option though. The best way to handle Xbox payments is to buy pre-paid codes in the store and use them (assuming…
I'm neither a historian nor an economist, but as far as I know, there's been quite a few ups and downs like that throughout history, with Florence and Spain being the most prominent examples that comes to my mind. I'd…
Ah, that makes sense. I'm fortunate enough to live where we have unmetered SMS/calls/data so I've never had that issue (at least not while WhatApp's been around).
There was actually a scandal about that in Denmark recently. Some journalists managed to get new SIM cards for other people without proper authentication. Repeatedly and from different providers.
I sleep for 4-5 hours, get up for about an hour or so, and then try to sleep another 3-4 hours. Previously, I'd wake up after 4-5 hours and spend 2-3 hours trying to fall asleep again. An hour of activity during the…
Pretty much, yes. But the situation is even more messed up here in Europe and I am especially happy that I'm not a native German speaker. It would cause a bunch of other problems, of course, but it would be nice if we…
In a very long-term perspective, this is pretty much it. Off-site backup -- we don't have any redundancy when it comes to our own environment. There are also a bunch of other benefits but they pale in comparison to this…
Yes, and it will take weeks before we have decent numbers, so it's dangerous to draw any conclusions just yet. The numbers aren't looking pretty, though: https://www.euromomo.eu/index.html
