My most frequently used are most likely vaultwarden, Memos, Trilium, Jellyfin, Frigate, Traggo, and beaverhabits. Also AdGuard and NPM but I don’t interact with them.

Oh yeah and freshrss

And! Nextcloud and Baikal. NC only for storage and Baikal caldav and carddav

My fav categories are when they ask your race typically: white, black, Asian, Hispanic etc. Lumping insanely large groups together.

Or the one that asks: Hispanic or non-Hispanic.

Typically both are asked. What the hell does the Hispanic specific question answer that the first didn’t

That’s an interesting thought as well. Was talking with my partner, we agree both countries have the ability and feel Ike it’s almost sinophobic to say only China does this. I’m sure the US would if it could.

I mean it's not good for you period but it feels so much worse later on if you can't control yourself. A drink here and there with family in high school is fine. Many countries outside the conservative US treat it that way and it often produces more mature and less mystified perceptions of alcohol :)

This is sick

That drinking a lot in your early 20s needs to stop after college-ish or it quickly becomes too much. Easy to get addicted and also your body pretty much sucks at handling it after 24/5.

Also, if you have zero energy you’re probably depressed

Very interesting thanks!

Was just thinking that as well honestly. Wouldn’t the NSA do it if they could

If it truly helps you that awesome! Your comment gave me a chuckle too, thanks for writing

In trying to explain my joke I think I found it may not directly apply outside of the Arabic speaking Arab world, but typically last names are important as they say who the person is the son or daughter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_name?wprov=sfti1#Ism

It isn’t just a lineage of last names but who your daddy is.

If I remember correctly from my Arabic class in college some people can have even longer lineage names with multiple peoples included.

Pakistan seems to be sort of a mix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_name?wprov=sfti1#Full_name

I also found this random paper describing Afghani naming so I wonder if I was wrong. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=e7a649988b7aad015ea8fa972239c7fe9e6ede03

 

Some people my server admin uncle included believe that bringing any device to China automatically compromises it even if you reinstall a new OS. Is this warranted as some random person?

Can I go to my public sites and/or VPN into my servers?

Edit: I go there all the time. Also, I can take these precautions but I can’t expect my family to take them. What about family members phones?

A lot of great replies, thank you! Would love the read more specifics so I can know exactly the threats and my actions

Also, this is not an anti-China post. My field is Chinese related. Just learning more about the hosting side :)

 

Probably a dumb question, thanks for all the front end responses, I’ve been watching using them but want to engage. I really don’t want to keep using Google though!

Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here and commenting if they’re that interesting.

 

Anyway I can make photos, control center, and playing videos in full screen normal again?

 

Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

 

I selfhost what I gain and try to degoogle as well.

 

My child so far only knows how to say baba and started to cuddle me last week :) very sweet moment
