I am looking for a girlfriend who is kind, caring, funny, ambitious, and who has at least 16GB of RAM.

Please respond, with a photo of the RAM.

Are you planning to roar up on your machine cycle and park it in her drive bay? Or are you all about hex?

Self-hosting does not make your data safe.

If you don't put in place, review, *and test* backup and recovery plans,,and security measures appropriate to the risk, your data are not "safe".

Your data might be less affected by the whims of third parties, which can be valuable for sure, but don't confuse that with your data being "safe".

And I say this as someone who loves self-hosting.

Any "beginners' guide to self-hosting" which doesn't lead with, or at least focus on, security and resiliency, is getting it wrong, IMHO.

regular backups to three different cloud services for me. I've lost so many things before that I learnt the hard way.

I pay a hosting company to "self host". It's expensive, but I get resilience and I can run a cron to automatically request a backup be sent to my Google Drive every evening. I've checked the backups and they are good.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Im not into face scanning. It terrifies me. Coles supermarket here in Australia scans customers at the self serve check outs. I didn't realise till it was too late and I was on camera. So my face is out there. Customers weren't told prior.

Airports scan you now. Didn't ask for that either. Give me a human any day.
Doha airport fingerprints you.
Some fckwit like Musk will start pushing microchips in the next couple of years so we will all be treated like dogs and cats. Fuck 'em

I don't need social media. I like it, I use it, I don't need it. If it demands official ID then it can fuck off.
The problem is going to be, being forced to log in to specific services and provide official ID in order to carry out basic functions, even though companies have already verified your ID or the relationship wouldn't function.
We will be forced to comply.
And all of that is next to nothing compared to client side device scanning.
Goodbye privacy.

Surely "Fox waiting for a replacement bus service" would be more London?

If you've been a Spotify Premium subscriber since it launched, you've given Spotify nearly $2000, and you own absolutely nothing.

@knizer Werenโ€™t you paying for a convenient service? When I take my car to a car wash, I donโ€™t own anything new after. I just paid someone to clean my car. You could buy all that music and set up a personal streaming service, but it does seem easier and cheaper to just pay Spotify if thatโ€™s what you want.

I assume. I avoided Spotify like the plague from day 1.

Movie piracy is bad. That's why I want to know the best sites to block so I live free of sin.

I used to block dopebox.to, but since it doesn't work the way I want, I no longer need to block it.

What other good sites are there that I should block or whatever?

since I do not longer have to block fmovies, I had few sites to block, but blocking yesmovies[.]ag seems to be a decent idea.
