Tailscale is very popular among people I know who have similar problems. Supposedly it’s pretty transparent and easy to use.

If you want to do it yourself, setting up dyndns and a wireguard node on your network (with the wireguard udp port forwarded to it) is probably the easiest path. The official wireguard vpn app is pretty good at least for android and mac, and for a linux client you can just set up the wireguard thing directly. There are pretty good tutorials for this iirc.

Some dns name pointing to your home IP might in theory be an indication to potential hackers that there’s something there, but just having an alive IP on the internet will already get you malicious scans. Wireguard doesn’t respond unless the incoming packet is properly signed so it doesn’t show up in a regular scan.

Geo-restriction might just give a false sense of security. Fail2ban is probably overkill for a single udp port. Better to invest in having automatic security upgrades on and making your internal network more zero trust

You have every right to not have kids. This reason is as valid as any.

I’m sorry for your experience. I hope you’re doing better now

Some percentage of people will think it is, but as I recall it, that percentage drops dramatically when people are actually faced with the decision themselves, so make your own decision if you’re unlucky enough to have to

There are already natural miscarriages for many unviable fetuses, so in a sense diagnosis and abortion is just a way to help that be more accurate

Just don’t do yaml.

yq can translate yaml to json and in most cases json is still valid yaml

Then you can just use a conmon delimiter like comma or semicolon or something. It’s better even as you’re less likely to have something that seems to work until your exotic delimiter pops up in the data.

Better yet, use a commonly used data format like csv or json and don’t build your own

Here’s a study that seems to support your theory a bit: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5885842/

It’s both a behavioural issue and a complex bodily disorder with many external factors…

Biologically, weight is pretty much an effect of calories in and calories out. If you lock someone up and give them too little food, they’ll generally get thin. The body can’t create fat if you don’t feed it and it can’t work without burning energy. Physics.

But losing weight when you’re not locked in a cell with someone else controlling your food availability is really hard. Not eating when you’re hungry is hard. The facility of getting healthy food that makes it easier is socio-economical. etc

It’s like running a marathon is “just” about starting to run and not stopping until you reach the finish line. It’s trivial on one level, really hard on another. It’s simple physics AND a complex web of genetic factors, motivation, knowledge, upbringing, etc

So most people are technically and biologically capable of losing weight, but most people are also practically and statistically not very successful at it.

Most popular diets work under controlled conditions, for the people who adhere to them; but most popular diets also don’t work in practice, as it’s too hard for people to diet for the rest of their life.

Behavioural ≠ easy

It sounds like you might have some unresolved issues from childhood. Your family didn’t respect your autonomy so now you’re maybe hyper vigilant about getting controlled by others?

Not being able to compromise even on small things like where to eat seems like it could become an issue. Do you really care about every little detail like that or are you just in constant defense mode?

There’s a lot of nice people out there you could safely compromise with on smaller things for mutual benefits, so it can be worthwhile to work on.

Being aware of it and examining it like you are now is a good first step.

Perhaps you could try to compromise on something tiny, with someone who hasn’t abused you, and see how it feels?

Landlords are an effect of the system; it’s pretty pointless to shame them if you don’t change the system

Some countries tax properties higher if they’re not your primary residence for example. It might drive rents higher though

Some exercise is extremely good for most people though, even disregarding keeping a healthy weight

Sadly the health effects aren’t relative. BMI isn’t perfect of course, but can at least serve as an indicator to check with a doctor if you’d benefit from a change

Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

Even for simple mirroring there’s an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.

You get pretty far with just clone, pull, add, commit, push

Because

A: electronic voting is an awful idea in so many ways

B: direct democracy is an awful idea in so many ways

C: voting is supposed to be secret which the petition signaures aren’t

I’d probably vote for the option causing a bit less suffering in Gaza, as hard as I could. I would not refuse to vote because the lesser evil was still bad.

It’s not hard really

R is pushing more support for Israel so D is the lesser evil. There’s a reason Netanyahu wanted Trump. If you think it couldn’t get worse than D level support, stay tuned

Kanye West?

well at least you’re consistent…

Btw, your chosen course of actions indirectly supported the option of spending even more tax dollars on killing people in gaza, so you might want to consider breaking your consistent streak of picking the wrong choice and try woting in a way that aligns with your stated goals

So it’s the moral argument of killing kids now in the hope of making a point that might or might not affect future politicians?

It doesn’t have to make sense for people to convince themselves to do it. It will certainly lead to worse outcomes for gaza

If your morals disregard the probable outcomes and is more focused on normative rules you could make some arguments but that kind of purity won’t save a single starving child in gaza

Edit: spelling
