How do you handle security of your home server? (like open ports etc)

“It’s not realistic or helpful,” said one European military official of the “tech sovereignty” discussions. “Most of our European platforms are relying on American back-end . . . so it’s very difficult to see anything happening in the short term. It’s just not possible.”

Those arguments resonate more with European military officials than with politicians, according to tech lobbyists, because military leaders better understand the risks a sudden decoupling from the US would bring. Such a break, they argue, would create capability gaps and fragmentation, undermining military operations and cyber security, and making intelligence-gathering less efficient.

It would be nice if the people complaining about the sources would provide alternative sources that are better.

I watch every movie and show with subtitles. It's just easier because I don't have to turn the volume up so much and I can eat while watching without missing any dialogue and if someone talks over I still don't miss anything. Sometimes there are snippets in dialogue I'm not even sure you are supposed to hear them but you can still read them in the subtitles.

That's social anxiety not introversion.
