It does a decent job at providing news from the position of American center.

The main problem for me is that American center is absolutely not a center. This shows especially clear when most of the non-US sources are categorized as "left".

So, to me it's more of an illusion of unbiased news, but for comparing two American political parties, it's good.

The only big danger of a good password manager is the fact all your passwords are stored under one.

To mitigate the risk, follow these practices:

  • Use a good trusted, much preferably open-source option (for example, Vaultwarden, KeePassXC);
  • Use a strong password;
  • Do not EVER use the same password you use for password manager elsewhere;
  • Use 2FA on both your password manager itself and all the accounts you store passwords for;
  • Backup your password database in an encrypted way.

Together, these measures should save you from any trouble.

Now, why they are good:

  • They can generate and store very strong passwords you would never make up, much less remember;
  • You can be sure you won't forget your password;
  • They are convenient and can auto-fill passwords for you.

Generally, using a password manager is considered a superior option in terms of security and availability compared to keeping your password elsewhere, including your head.

First, obviously, I would treat the people that raised me as my parents.

Second, I would try to make contact with them. If they go for it, maybe it'll be a nice family story. If not, I'll see what I can do in terms of legally extorting them for money, because ultra-wealthy shouldn't exist and I barely get by, and I won't really feel bad about that.

If I get a lot of money by either means (more than I need to buy a house and cover the basics), I would share with charities and people.

I would argue either RAID 5 or ZFS RAIDz1 are inherently unsafe, since recovery would take a lot of read-write operations, and you better pray every one of 4 remaining drives will hold up well even after one clearly failed.

I've witnessed many people losing their data this way, even among prominent tech folks (looking at you, LTT).

RAID6/ZFS RAIDz2 is the way. Yes, you're gonna lose quite a bit more space (leaving 24TB vs 32TB), but added reliability and peace of mind are priceless.

(And, in any case, make backups for anything critical! RAID is not a backup!)

Actually it's sort of scientific consensus. Not that it matters much for casual conversation (do not fuck minors, what's so hard about that), but the distinction is real.

obligatory nerdy note that all those -philias refer to attraction, and not action; pedophile might not abuse children but still be pedophile; child abuser is not necessarily pedophile

Hold my beer, it's even more complicated

  • Infantophiles go for 0-5 (up until developed consciousness)
  • Pedophiles ~6-beginning of puberty
  • Hebephiles - going through puberty
  • Ephebophiles - after puberty but before adulthood
  • Teleiophiles - 18-late 30s
  • Mesophiles - 40s-60s
  • Gerontophiles - 70+

Don't ask me why I know, I just like getting to the grit of things.

Data hoarders could be happy, but otherwise it's mostly enterprise use.

Still, I personally hold about 4 TB of files, and I know people holding over 30 TB.

As soon as your storage needs exceed 1-2 games and a bunch of old photos, demand for space raises quickly.

Russia not giving a shit about takedown requests is one of the good parts about the country

Speeding up the Internet will speed up Tor as well.

You might have answered in general thread instead of answering Maalus in the thread about Australian comedian
