If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

I got a sales job offer on the spot by first highlighting the limited use of a single pen and without extra's on hand its negative business impacts. Then stated I had tons of pens available in my car and positioned selling them at least 100, but recommended they acquire 1000+ as this prevents potential issues plus gets them a better deal. Pretty solid approach in my experience.

True sales is just filling a need, sometimes the customer knows they need it but others are unaware of it. Good sales reps will not sell something unless it makes sense for everyone involved.

I've used Bitwarden for ages and it fits your needs very well. Sharing the login info will allow the rest of your family to access the passwords and TOTPs too. Bitwarden does charge for TOTP use, but Aegis is amazing to use along with Bitwarden. You could setup Aegis on your device and then, if you wanted someone else to have access, you'd just export the data so they could import it into their Aegis app.

Lipids are one of the four macromolecules found in life. Moderation of lipids is the key part here. LDL (bad cholesterol) is needed for digestion, cell signaling, and immune cells require it for certain functions. It's the goldilocks principle, too much or too little is an issue.

I had to look it up, but reducing milk by 2% fat increases the calcium ~6mg/cup. A little calcium goes a long way for human cell functions, so it's a decent increase for sure.

VeraCrypt is the only company I use when it comes to encrypting external drives. Depending on what distro you use, you'll just have to select the proper file format. Aside from that, maybe encrypt 90% of the drive so there's some space for a few things which you can access without mounting the drive. When you go through the setup in VeraCrypt, it directly asks if the drive will be used with one or different systems, so they got you covered there. You can also find many video walk throughs online to follow along with as well.

They were labeled alphabetically based on when they were discovered. Also, Vitamin D's label was a misnomer as it's converted into a vital hormone needed for the body to properly function.

Heck ya to Fedora, glad to see it recommended for a first time user. It's not much more difficult than Mint, but you can also get into the weeds instead of having to find a new distro after Mint. Mint basically has permanent training wheels, while with Fedora you can pop em off whenever it's convient.

Edit: Fedora is also a more up to date Alpine and it's not directly controlled by Red Hat.

OK, so engineers provide their solution to a problem to end users for free? Engineers still need marketing and sales to further improve an invention as well as allow others to understand its use case.

Pretty much, if you don't like CloZee, I don't like you!

That's the one, Underworld paired with Bali10050 for coloring is the best KDE dark mode setup in my book.

If things are still the same from ~ June of 2022 then you have a choice between none, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Ext4, and NTFS.

Edit: VeraCrypt utilizes a unique encryption process. Its easy as you just move the mouse around like you went mad, but this produces a highly secure encryption key too. As long as your distro works with NTFS then it seems VeraCrypt can assist to help you encrypt. Otherwise, when Windows is a VM it only can do what Linux allows it to do lol

Good to know, I didn't talk about self hosting as it seemed like OP was aiming for it to be through a cloud provider. Its rad Bitwarden has both options and security is top notch either way!

This link is the research paper which was reviewed by sciencedaily, my title is a blend of both sciencedaily and the paper titles. The research paper's title is super ambiguous and it seemed a blend of the two made more sense.

Learning to live with a disorder is an amazing step in the process. If depression was easy to eliminate, the world would be a much different place

I have the onyx boox note air 2, while not in color, the tablet is fantastic. I'm weighing out my options to see if and when it could make sense to upgrade to the color option as my current tab is that good!

It looks amazing, I just can't shake how much the characters face resembles the lyricist Ryan Caraveo!

Wax is fantastic, glad to hear you think so too. There's a similar track, The Full Picture, which is phenomenal as well: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=UzAxswh9oXM

Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I'm not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I'd say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.

What the hell is Harry Mack about to do?!?

But Fedora is upstream of Alpine, right?

It's quite an easy program to install and it's also cross platform. The fact drives need the softwarenon aNY PC trying to gain access seems like a feature to me. Maybe if you wanted to copy something from the encrypted drive to a friends computer, only then would it be somewhat of a nuisance. But this all ties into me recommending to leave some portion of the hard drive alone. You'd be able to access anything not in VC's space anywhere, while it's also a breeze to download and install VC too.

Sorry OP, I was trying to do a few things at once. But found this which should be helpful https://vaultwarden.discourse.group/t/installation-for-a-noob/1609

One of the comments provides a step by step guide for setup. If this sounds reasonable, then you could do it all here and you'd have no need for Aegis!

Yep, you sure are lol, I edit the previous comment and added a Debian install guide for Vaultwarden. My apologies for the mix up.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I'm just not to sure, isn't changing to Underworld and Bali altering the GTK theme? I use Breeze Dark, then Underworld, Bali's Black, and still playing with different icons. Currently Griffin Ghost is my choice, plus the high contrast cursor.

Cryptpad.fr is a fantastic full replacement for Google Office Suite. Open sourced, encrypted, but only comes with 1GB of storage on the free plan. You can pay to add more and its reasonably priced. It provides excell, powerpoint, and word. I like using board.net at times too. It's FOSS as well but only provides a word equivalent. A little more straight forward in my experience for others.

Man, got the 7a in May and the 1080p screen + 64 megapixel camera made me spend the extra $50 to not get the 6a. Blown away with both for the price. Regardless, Graphene here too.

Depending on your specific situation, it could be a solid option to just jump in to whatever distro covers your needs best and just run Windows in a VM. On a current Linux device which previously ran windows, throw this in the terminal:

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

and it will source the old Windows product key. You can also just jot down the key by pulling it up in Windows too. But regardless of how it's handled, it makes the VM setup an easier process for sure!

I think that's just in the settings. Select edit profile in the settings menu and then to change the text color, you'll find many options under the appearance tab, hope this helps!

The KDE spin has x11, KDE is my go to DE everytime. So assumed that layer I guess.

I've been using a Pixel 7a since May and put Graphene on it as soon as I opened it. With this setup I haven't ran into any network issues so far. Figuring out how to use GSF while still ensuring good privacy was the only thing which took some time to learn. What are you using?

Oh, I see, ya that's a bit above my pay grade. I just got a setup which looks clean and stuck with it lol. But let me know what your think of the layout!

Why switch platforms if all your data is still being collected? This just provides another business with your data to sell and possibly have hacked. Sure, Telegram offers encryption, but it's not enabled by default even though they advertise it thoroughly. This demonstrates they're taking advantage of peoples desire for privacy simply to increase their user base while making the users + contacts do all the work.

As far as file sharing, with ProtonDrive I can use any messaging service and send a 500GB file if I wanted, fully encrypted with password protection and an expiration date. Telegram keeping the files forever doesn't seem like a benefit either.

This song always helps me realize how being upset is really nothing more than a barrier to clear thought and working past differences. Great jam to boot too!

Just paste the images into a word processor then convert them to a PDF, this at least keeps the PDF instead of JPEGs.

I live solo and use Costco, just got to know what to buy there

Exactly, sales isn't easy but customer retention makes the job easier. If a customer has a great experience, they tend to be repeat customers and even tell their friends. Word of mouth undoubtedly being the most effective marketing method makes non pushy sales the best approach for sure.
