    Yes I did get a lot of good advice! I'm still working through it all really because some things were things I wouldn't have thought of myself. I do appreciate the time people took for helpful comments We've got plenty of stops to make and all of them are going to be new to the other parties. The kiddo likes the screens but is also equally satisfied staring out the window. I know they'll both have their minds blown at the sights we'll be experiencing And +1 in wholesome snacks and hydrating beverages

    Keep it positive and about your goals, and explain why the company you're applying to can fulfill your goals. Focus on the future while sprinkling in something positive about what you did at the past job. "While there I accomplished X, however the position did not meet my career goal of Y. I'm looking to join your team as an Z here continue developing my skills in Y. Here's an example; you're goal is to be park ranger. Last park only had you doing trash pick up. The park your applying for does all kinds of community engagement/event type stuff. "While there I had a fulfilling job keeping the parks clean, however the position was not leading me towards my goal to become a park ranger. I'm looking to join your team as a junior ranger to continue developing my skills for community events and continuing my work of preserving the environment." Fluff it up a bit to not sound scripted and you'll be fine.

    Gnome-Boxes is very simple, yet effective. I think it is on flatpak too. Not sure if it supports ipv6.

    I'm not raging out. It's just that the show's fanbase is fairly hostile, to put it mildly. Mainly, I was trying to head off some bad-faith arguments I've seen used in the past

    When I was young and still occasionally went into a department store, I remember having to route my way around the perfume counter so I didn't get sick. So I guess scents like that inspire avoidance.

    Rate this project The Linux From Scratch project (also called LFS) has announced the release of version 12.4 of the project's guide. This guide walks the reader through the steps to create a minimal Linux distribution from source code. The release announcement reads: "The Linux From Scratch community announces the release of LFS Version 12.4. Major changes include toolchain updates to binutils-2.45, gcc-15.2.0, and glibc-2.42. In total, 49 packages were updated since the last release. Changes to the text have also been made throughout the book. The Linux kernel has also been updated to version 6.16.1. Packages that have security updates include: glibc, coreutils, expat, perl, Python, systemd, vim, and xz. See the Security Advisories for details. Overall there have been 146 commits to LFS since the previous stable version of the book. You can read the book online, or download to read locally. You can read the systemd version of the book online at LFS-systemd, or download-systemd to read locally."

    I personally use proton and even that can cause issues sometimes. It's sad but in reality your best bet is a common email provider such as Google, Microsoft, etc. You can use gmail with a custom domain and get both benefits, or you could go your own way and accept that it will reduce some of your potential opportunities (that's what I choose)

    I cant define or explain it. You have to listen to the Mother 3 OST. Please do that. Then listen to it on DXM or dissociatives. I promise you will see

    Alcoholics, people who take Metformin (diabetes med), and people who eat at Bojangles. I've cut out two of these, see if you can guess which two.

    Hello! Is it possible to be a “hoarder”, and keep storage for others without adding new files? Inbuilt in the setup (you can turn this off, or change its characteristics) you share 16MB for free, but only for 64kb files or less. This is to bootstrap sharing, and promote small website-like stuff. How do files expire There are checks to see if a node still has your data (requests for a small part at a random location), but at the moment that's it. If a node stops sharing, then you just stop sharing theirs, and the system will try to find another node willing to share your data (which should not be a problem as you overshare, so one of the other nodes has your back during that time). Score There are score for onlineness for nodes, a very crude system that can be greatly expanded, but you can't share a lot like in a torrent situation, because you only share what you want and thus share reciprocally. If that seems illogical please do tell! Locality No, it's randomly distributed to make it difficult (or astronomically hard) to take down data, and also to have a statistic good chance of the data being available (imagine most nodes in a country turns them off for the night for example, having it spread out would mitigate that). Is bandwidth part of the calculation Not yet, I'm thinking of different contracts like more of a storage contract that'd expire after say downloaded 5 times, and a "high bandwidth" contract that could accept to share a larger slump of data vs a smaller but more often downloaded, but for today it does not exist. You can alleviate this by adding overshares, so your 1MB site is shared by 1000 nodes "costing you" 1.000MB in reciprocal sharing but will have better access (parallel downloading is in the works but comes with a couple of specific security snags so quite WIP). I just saw you added a post no problemo, it's normal to question new tech, and I do truly appreciate it! Thank you for your kind words too! Just some notes ; it's a trust less system, so node integrity is a non issue here (if they don't serve your data, you'd just change for another one. Same if they serve bad data etc). As far as I know, this is the first “distributed” and “easy-to-use” tool we have. 10f -i file.jpg You just gotta name it too ️ 10f -i myimage file.jpg But thanks again! DMCA Yes this is the whole "don't do crimes" problem, if users are not sharing the latest Madonna single, there should not be a problem, but what if someone does? The node sharing cannot know what it's sharing, it's AES256 CTR encrypted, and without the key you just cannot know what it is. This does not solve it of course, and I wonder what the legal implications are, in Europe hosters are not yet responsible for what they (unknowingly AFAIK) host, so I think that's kind of clear there, in the USA, well if they find you sharing xyz.aes and they have the key to prove it's illegal content, they'll send you a takedown request I suppose. What does cloud services risk? Lots of questions here of course. I think it's in the same legal basket as P2P networks. Hope this helps!
