Literally the only reason I’ve ever used it is so that when I start typing a web address in front of someone, Google doesn’t “helpfully” autocomplete.
Aren’t there any other sites that start with p or x?

Self hosting a VPN isn’t going to help hide traffic from your ISP though. Even if you “self host” on a cloud instance or rack elsewhere, you’ve still got ISPs there who will see all your traffic. Unless there’s some other magic implied that I’ve overlooked?
If the resolution is high enough, readers of comics, newspaper, magazines, textbooks, children’s books, maps, etc.
I don’t know man. If at 50 I ran into a 20 something that was into dating me, I’d feel more like prey than a predator. But, who am I kidding? If the roles were reversed and I was a 20 something encountering a 50+ cougar, I’d still feel like prey. It’s definitely all about power dynamics, but I don’t think making assumptions about adult people’s situations based on age alone is appropriate or helpful.
Are you writing to Google drive directly from the cli? If so how? I regularly need to search, edit, copy, and paste to and from my notes; backup config files; save a neat little script I wrote; etc. all from the CLI. It would be awesome to have this searchable and online from a web browser too for when I’m not working in the terminal. For example, piping an error message to a file and grabbing/sanitizing that error to search later. I have ways, but their all a lot clunkier than simply have a Dropbox. I’m basically looking for something that works just like Dropbox, is not self hosted, and not as cumbersome to setup as NextCloud and the like.
If you’re going to all that trouble, why not try some open source alternatives next upgrade before shelling out for another license? You might be surprised how narrow the gap between Microsoft and libre office options has become.
Oh I got it, just wasn’t as witty as you hoped. Thanks for the inane reddit level banter. I’m feeling all nostalgic.
Doesn’t really matter how you acquired it if you’re sharing it without paying all appropriate licensing.
Exactly. I mean I installed it once upon a time on my server because it was well supported and most hardware I had just worked. I cut my teeth on Linux by using Ubuntu, so I’m familiar with where I’m going to have trouble and how to troubleshoot it if I do. I can tear down and setup a new Ubuntu server over a weekend if I wanted to and transfer all my stuff, but not if I had to switch distros. I could do it, but I’d rather not spend the extra time. Maybe I’m lazy, but I’m no noob. At this point for me, hopping distros is just a matter of the devil you know vs. the devil you don’t. I’ve got more important things to DO with my machine and life than spend it fucking with and constantly breaking/fixing my setup. So, from what I’ve heard about it, Arch is everything that is holding back Linux on the desktop and everything I don’t want in an OS unless I’m getting paid by the hour.
Passwords are keys, not eggs. You wouldn’t hide your house keys all over town, you’d keep them on your key ring and maybe give a spare to a single trusted person that explicitly would not be carrying it around town exposing your key to the risk of theft.
Another thing that’s satisfying is having a machine that knows when it needs to turn on the fan and never needing my input, which would be pretty ignorant on the subject anyway.
Where is all this pornography ? So I can shun it, obviously.
You don’t need insane hardware to get started with Plex, but you’ll soon realize why some go a little nuts with it.
They’re not protesting self driving cars. And this has nothing at all to do with the reliability of human drivers. They’re protesting the way the development and testing of self driving cars has put corporate interests ahead of civic safety and community consent. The people in these test cities have become non-consenting test subjects in an experiment that clearly puts corporate profit ahead of safety. When new drugs “hit the streets” there are well regulated systems of test subject consent and safety accountability to get real world testing experience and feedback. Why should this auto industry experiment be exempt from experimental and scientific ethics?
Funny, those are the same movies I’d point to as what’s fundamentally flawed with the film industry; chasing the lowest common denominator and avoiding interesting and artful risk.
Yeah that competition really did demonstrate what an awful service all those media monopolies provided.
