Also consider independent or small-chain pharmacies. I'm spoiled for choice in downtown Toronto, there are a handful within a few minute walk. The one I picked (because it was the closest) was super friendly and convenient. Even though they have shorter hours I can walk in and be out with my prescription in literally 30 seconds. If I have questions I can call and someone picks up the phone. On top of this way better service they have never charged beyond my insurance's coverage, so I haven't paid a dime out of pocket.

If you can this is definitely the way to go.

For .config it isn't as important to me, but putting things that can be re-created in .cache (well the proper environment variable that defaults to .cache) is very nice because I don't need to back up all of that junk.

But it wouldn't be unreasonable to put something like .config in a git repo, and storing full history for large and frequently changing files is a waste of space if they aren't really "config".

You can consider yourself whatever you want for however long you want.

If you feel young and people thing you are weird for saying so that is their problem. Young is a feeling not a number.

This was intentional. The goal was to discourage the adoption of non-free codecs. They were partially successful, now AV1 is very widely supported (basically only older iThings that don't have hardware decoding support don't support it) which is a huge win because anyone can now deliver video on the web without needing a license to a proprietary codec. I would consider this fact alone a huge benefit and worth them holding other browsers asses to the flame.

IDK, how are we counting? Digestible calories? I don't think you are getting much energy from any amount of swords that you can fit in your stomach.

To be fair in this case I don't think we have much right to make fun of them until tolls get placed on the DVP.

The government is too big, why are we paying for healthcare, school, welfare and whatever else? It is unfair to those who don't use those services.

...oh, except roads and the military, everyone must pay for those.

It's amazing how many of these policies are posed as a simple fair rule (people should pay for what they want, not have the government decide where spending goes) but in actuality is just a convenient excuse for dismantling institutions that they personally don't like.

Oops, I linked the wrong one and got fooled because the most recent post is actually open again.

[email protected] is more active. (Although not bustling either)

Yeah, public trackers definitely raise your chance of a notice by at least an order of magnitude. New content also tends to be more noisy than old content. I also found a drop by selecting "require encryption" although I can't imagine why it would help (IIUC most of these scanners just connect to everyone in the swarm, not sniff random internet traffic.

I've been using nginx forever. It works, I can do almost everything I want, even if more complex things sometimes require some contortions. I'm not sure I would pick it again if starting from scratch, but I have no problems that are worth switching for.

IIUC it isn't censored per se. Not like the web service that will retract a "bad" response. But the training data is heavily biased. And there may be some explicit training towards refusing answers to those questions.
