I dont have a multiple passports but i come from an English speaking country and live in a S. Korea. Here your name for almost anything needs to reflect your official government documents or else you are in for a whole world of inconvenience.

My name here is <surname> <first name> <middle name>. But here is the kicker apparently the government name system is case sensitive even if when docs are sent to me they appear all uppercase. It was through much trial and error that i discovered my middle name is not capitalized. This caused trouble opening bank accounts, importing things, getting a phone, etc

There is no question posted. Downvote!

Government docs use the international style for age, but in normal conversations people assume you are using traditional age unless otherwise specified.

Yep, here’s an example. Was out to dinner in South Korea with a group of people the day President Yoon (the guy who called martial law then rescinded in less than 24 hours) was impeached. I raised my glass and pronounced a toast to his impeachment. Turns out half the table was pro Yoon and pretty upset about it. Whoops

I used to keep a backed up base image to reflash a corrupted sd card. But after the 3rd or 4th time i knew i had to find a better solution.

I eventually moved to docker on the pi. But the pi would randomly go down. I had two of them for redundancy but eventually one of them ended up corrupting its sd card and shortly later the other went down unexpectedly while i was at work and the whole family lost connection without knowing how to fix it.

Decided to move to to dns blocking on the router. Basically its easy to reboot for the family and has yet to fail (more than a year now).

I like it but just not on a Pi. I found it too unstable. I found it easier to host in a docker container.

Although these days i just use blocklists on my router.

I write a journal and recently i have been organizing my photo archive with embedded captions, tags, gps, etc…

I dont think anyone will ever care to read this stuff. Maybe some llm in the future will be able to digest all of this so a curious descendant might be able to ask questions to it like what did Terminal do for work or some such thing.

Oh this hits right in the feels. I always try to remind myself that this is his childhood and it will leave an impression for the rest of his life. Then i start worrying about not doing enough etc and anxiety ensues

Similar to Reddit. Everything here seems to be more tech oriented and most communities are much quieter than reddit.

Also be prepared to follow the same topic/community across multiple servers. Reddit is older so the default community for a given topic had been established. Not so much here

Several assholes i knew became cops

Yes i do pay attention to it and normally wont download ones that have data collection on apps that have no need for that.

Apple requires that binaries are submitted to them prior to be ing placed on the app store. This where the app gets analyzed to see if it matches their policies etc…. Im sure there are flaws in this system but i generally trust it since its in apples favor to have this info be correct.

Also i dont believe its open source as requested. Although openwrt can be flashed on some models

They are excellent

Thanks karl popper.

If this is true what a dumb reason. Basically decided to make a device that could be used 100% of the time unusable for some fraction of time just because it looks the way he wanted it too.

Came here to say can opener too. Not for the same reason as you mentioned just that more often than not a can opener is just plain shoddy. Slips, doesn’t fully cut, hard to grip, etc….

The narrator from Fall of Civilization is very relaxing to listen to

I also worked as a computer tech at a university. Often i had to backup someones drive to cds or dvd depending on the situation. If a folder was too large we would ask permission to go into it to break it into smaller chunks. I began to loathe having to subdivide large photo folders onto cds. Way too many times of opening a folder of smutty pictures.
