It's the convenience angle.

I have very experienced IT friends who continue to use privacy invasive crap, knowingly because they like the convenience.

So is termux a containerized Linux? (I haven't looked into it yet, just on my list). I had assumed it was a VM, guess I was incorrect.

Hey, your upfront, honest, no-excuses post goes a long way, in my opinion.

Shit happens. We've all screwed things up - letting everyone know immediately what's going on means we won't guess when our shortcut doesn't work, etc.

Also thanks for the effort you put into this. It's really helpful.

"unconventional braking technique", lol, I think we've all used that on occasion.

And we all have brown pants because of it.

It's already all virtualized, so from customer perspective, advantages of virtualization aren't there (single box, maximizing use of local resources, etc).

Wouldn't you be able to do containers in a Linux VPS though? To the host, it's just a virtualized Linux, from Linux' perspective, those containers are local resources.

UAC is a bandaid for a lack of proper local user account management. I never see it in Enterprise, nor on my home machines, as users have appropriate permissions, with admin being tightly controlled. (To be honest, I just turn it off on my home machines, run as a user, and if I need admin I switch accounts).

This really only affects home users who like to run as admin all the time (about 98% of us, I've been guilty of it most of my career).

I get it, I just don't see it really being a significant risk (this is related to a hack published perhaps a week ago where an attacker, could, potentially, maybe, gain admin by timing the attack perfectly during an install, but only on specific machines).

For what OS?

Why not just run your own calendar server, then the sync issue is resolved by extant sync mechanism, rather than trying to make your own with Syncthing?

I use Syncthing to sync some stuff that doesn't have standard server sync solutions, like some text files that may get updated at either end. But I don't think it's the way to sync calendar stuff, as calendaring is an established system.

And if you're worried about getting to your calendar server, Mesh networks like Tailscale can provide an encrypted tunnel. You don't even need the client on devices, if you use the Funnel feature (which funnels specific traffic from the internet into your tunnel, courtesy of Tailscale).

(That said, I'm curious to see what more knowledgeable people come up with, I can't think of any calendar apps that auto import/export calendars).

There's lots of resources online specifically about your state, that will be important, as every state is different.

In one state where I lived, you had the right to transfer moving violations to criminal court (the court for tickets was generally a Justice of the Peace, which is an appointee, so a legal education isn't required to be one).

Criminal court has higher requirements for everyone involved, so it can be useful for defense purposes. It also costs more, both for the state and for you in court fees (fines will be the same). The advantage is the state is motivated to plea your charge down to clear the docket. I've seen this many times, for everything under the sun. But, every state is different.

I assume since you have court it's because this is your first ticket, and you're young - not sure why they do that, but it's not uncommon. I guess they want to put the fear of the legal system in you. Had the opposite effect for me, saw it was just a process, that goes on all day, every day. Later tickets you just pay.

Yea, I'd be firing them.

I'd also dispute the charge. Let em take me to small claims court.

Oh, Ffs, hopefully these asswipes will be identified, and enjoy their nice, expensive fine.

Some are sensitive to upstream traffic, it really depends.
