I know this is a joke but I still do this when wearing a suit with creased pants. Let's you do up your laces and if you're tucking the shirt you need to undo the trousers anyway. Keeps them looking crisp, at least when it's an event you change into the suit right before.

"Ah yes, but think about how much faster they shipped that code with Copilot doing all the heavy lifting."

It's intended to be a successor to the current reCAPTCHA, sold as harder to spoof than current picture-based versions. Now, almost from its start, CAPTCHA existed to train AI vision models. So Google basically painted themselves into a corner using free labor to train models good enough to recognize images, now they are switching to device signals.

That said, they're going to have to provide a compatibility layer for iOS which AFAIK doesn't come with Google Play Services right now. So I have some faith in the smart folks who make these de-shittified OSes working something out via microG or the like.

There's https://imginn.com/

Not sure if it lets you go to direct reels or just view stories though.

Same with Nolan's Batman

Generally ovens, toaster ovens, and to a lesser extent top-loading toasters are pretty good at containing fires since holding in heat is their primary job. Your best bet is killing the source of the heat and letting the fire burn out.

Source: I have lit many things on fire in ovens.

Stove-top fires are another beast, but there too as long as you're not throwing water onto flaming oil, you should be pretty safe killing the heat and trying to smother the fire with a lid.

I know this probably doesn't help you now... But maybe the next person who reads this will be a little bit more prepared.

I'll go in a slightly different direction but one that any CISO will tell you is just as important as locking down SSH, etc. Have a good backup plan

Especially for a home server, is your biggest threat vector someone launching 0-days against it or the SD card it boots off of crapping out? Even production servers, when someone misconfigures sshd_config and locks everyone out (ask me how I know) or you get a crypto-locker run because all the configs in the world can't save you from a supply chain attack. You'll be glad you have backups on-site, off-site, a general DR strategy, etc.

Sucks because I was strongly considering Framework for my next laptop. That said, it sounds like they may rethink their sponsorship approach with that bit at the end - they acknowledged the past issues with the Hyprland community but did due diligence, and they plan to involve the community more going forward.

May be empty promises but time will tell.

This is reasonable for a hobbyist publication, it would make sense to buy ad space for a new fishing rod in Bass Fishing Quarterly or whatever. Harder when it's something more generic as "the news", but as a poster above said this is where quality journalism comes in. If millions of people want to read well-written pieces, advertisers are paying to get their products in front of millions of people.

But advertisers want the most bang for the littlest buck and it's easier to buy targeted ads in the attention economy so here we are. I have no issue with the existence of ads in certain places, moreso the whole system built to track every aspect of your waking attention.

Short version, add this to your Quadlet file (with whatever your service your gluetun Quadlet starts):

[Unit]
Requires=gluetun.service
After=gluetun.service

An article I found helpful when starting with Quadlets, which can even replace Docker compose. https://mo8it.com/blog/quadlet/

Better for whom? I would say it's only better for the people being harmed if we aren't spreading that attention around. But if I listen to early Kanye tracks on a personal device through headphones, is it "worse" because I'm giving him any of my brainspace?

I think OP's question has two answers, a philosophical one and a practical one. If we cannot practically separate the art from the artist in a way that gives them attention, money, or power, fair enough. I'm just saying I think there is a way to do that.

+1 for Rotring (or rOtring as they stylize it). I use a Rapid Pro ballpoint for my daily use, had it for almost a decade now. Solid steel body, the knurling on the grip is nice, it's a good thickness and weight for most purposes. And it takes a number of cheaply available inserts.
