If we’re talking about technology that is no longer widely used, it’s probably my old HP48SX from the early 90s. Still use it sometimes as a desk calculator, though I have an HP48GX emulator app on my phone as well. Gotta have my RPN.

Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It’s the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.

Unless I misunderstood what you said, that’s not it either. 50% chance of rain means exactly that: according to their forecast models, there is a 50% change it will rain. Snopes did a writeup of this.

It really depends on how much you can tolerate. I don’t know if full time is 40 hours in Germany like it is in the US.

If you have an option to try it for some time and fall back to plan B, why not do that? Then you can tell if the money is worth the extra work time.

For one, the United States lacks a good press corps of independent journalists with broad reach.

Everything is either politicized or commercialized. Shock value sells. Balanced rational discourse does not. Polarization makes too much money for too many people.

On top of that, a systematic destruction of education and a stranglehold of religion practically makes ignorance inevitable.

Maybe we could repair it, but it would take Republicans being blocked from making any decisions for several decades at this point.

Coffee in the morning, tea anytime after. Tea especially when it’s cold. Great taste, zero calories, zero guilt.

Yes, unless it is encrypted, in which case you need a way to decode that. You can even boot an OS from a USB thumb drive to recover files from a hard drive.

Is moving the drive to another computer as a secondary drive an option? Or put it in a separate USB enclosure? That way you don’t need to boot it at all, unless it’s encrypted or something.

Roughly in order of appearance. Personal devices only. I used many more for work.

What about volunteering? Usually no credentials or experience is required. You get out of the house, get to be around people, and you get the satisfaction of feeling like you are doing something useful, which is rewarding in itself.

It could be anything. You have all kinds of organizations wanting volunteer help: social outreach programs, churches, scouts, clubs, etc. See if anything local catches your interest.

Peanut butter on bread as a side to chili (con carne).

Make sure your switch(es) are actually getting the full speed. Despite good cables, they could be negotiating at lower speeds. Also check that your router isn’t limiting bandwidth in its configuration somewhere.

I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.

It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.

It’s very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.

Yes! Forgot about those.

If the idea was to shit on the class that was born right around 9/11, graduated during a global pandemic, and who is going to have to deal with both out of control climate change and AI taking their jobs, then it was executed beautifully. Otherwise it was extremely tone-deaf.

Yes! As a Scandinavian living in the US: I would love to see black currant, red currant, and gooseberries in my grocery store.

I grew up in Norway, but haven’t lived there for some time. When I first read this I was like “bullshit. you can drink anywhere”. But, I looked it up and you are correct. However, it is not very often enforced unless you’re being a nuisance. Drinking and driving on the other hand is taken very seriously. Don’t even gamble with that a little bit in Norway.
