Why did they need to tear it apart to discover the advantage was government funding? It this just a click bait headline?

Don't get upset about AI. It was just following orders.

What testosterone really does is when your status is being challenged, testosterone makes you do whatever you need to do to maintain status. You can have an economic game where people get status by making generous offers and give people testosterone and they become more generous in the game. In other words, if you shot up a whole bunch of Buddhist monks with testosterone, they would run amok doing random acts of kindness all over the place.

Testosterone doesn't make you aggressive

It is possible that any developer could just say "none" even if the extension does collect data? If it has to be manually disclosed, this won't stop malicious actors. Only trustworthy extension developers would disclose this.

From Lifestraw website:

The majority of LifeStraw products for individual use are microfilters with an absolute pore size of 0.2 microns which remove bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and dirt/silt.

LifeStraw also manufactures ultrafilters/purifiers that, in addition to the above contaminants, also remove viruses. The absolute pore size on these purifiers is 0.02 micron.

Things can be fun and difficult. Just ask any athlete. It can be fun but requires work and practice.

I don't think Christmas was as much about gift giving in Dickens time. I think it was more a time that your family gets to be together. He even alludes to this with Bob Crachit's daughter having to slave away at work and only getting to see family on Christmas. They don't really do gifts in the story, they just have a small meal together. It isn't until Scrooge changes his mindset that gifts start being much of a thing in the story.

Dickens was always focused on the poverty and suffering of the industrial age. I think he would object to our sense today of Christmas being so focused on gifts and not on time with family and friends

Now that all he major AI companies have scraped all of the YouTube videos, Google wants to prevent others from getting into the market.

The wording of the body text is equally stupid.

President Trump is restoring sanity to at least one small part of the federal regulations,...

Sanity? Really?

I don't host my media outside my local network but, if I did, I would use my go to method of SWAG with Authentik. This is what I have done for my other self-hosted items.

Many people get diarrhea when they take antibiotics for long durations. Additionally, the dry weight of human feces is about 25-50 percent gut bacteria.

This argument in this article is poor. An analogy would be:

"Because donating free food to the poor might feed future criminals, we should no longer provide free food."

You can customize the logo. Raspberry Pi OS displays as Debian by default but you can force it to be the Raspberry Pi logo.

Firefly III is an option, but I found it difficult to set up and the importer tool works well for Europe but not the US.

You could also just create your own Docker container which has Skrooge, GnuCash, or KMyMoney in it. I have done this with Skrooge since it imports data well and is simpler than GnuCash.

With the Linuxserver.io KasmVNC base image and install any GUI application to run it from a browser.

I don't know of any comprehensive source but there are a few basic things you that I do.

  1. Ensure sudo is on the system so that root account is not used.
  2. Get a secure browser that with add ons to protect against malicious sites (https everywhere, JavaScript blockers, etc...)
  3. Download software from trusted repositories and verify with GPG keys or hashes. Be wary on installing anything using a shell script with super user access.
  4. Use keys instead of passwords for ssh if you are going to use ssh.
  5. Password tools like Vaultwarden and KeePass can help secure passwords.
  6. You can encrypt your hard drive with LUKS before you install Linux with many distros.
  7. Flatpak (Docker as well) can allow you to run applications with limited access to your system much like phone apps on Android. This can be more secure but comes with larger app sizes and limits what you can do with the app sometimes (e.g. browsers not being able to upload files because they don't have full filesystem access)
  8. If you want a firewall on your workstation (not needed much anymore with hardware firewalls from routers), UFW makes it easy
  9. If you want to check for viruses use ClamAV (ClamTK for a GUI app).

I have read it many times and I agree that the story is about a dream/nightmare Ebeneezer has on Christmas Eve. I always saw the story as an old rich man had who does not have much longer to live reflects on his life. He decides he still has time to try and change with what little time he has left.

I think it really could have been framed many ways. Many people reflect on their lives on New Year's Eve or their birthdays. I think Dickens just decided to choose Christmas for his story.

EDIT: In short, man nearing end of life has existential crisis in dream.
