In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM act requires companies to honor your opt out/unsubscribe request within 10 days. For particularly agressive mailing lists that don't honor unsubscribes I will happily report them as spam to my email provider, report them to the FTC, and send a cease and desist letter I generated with chatGPT to their legal@example.com mailbox.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don't get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.
Library file stuff:
For library frontend stuff:

Who is going to tell him?
I'm kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.
Maybe try some of Werner Herzog's documentary films? They definitely include music and are viewed through the directors artistic lens but they certainly meet your criteria of stylistically different.
Is this loss?
A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
I try not too think about it 😬
I would guess everything together is around 800 Watts
I recently set up and started using MediaTracker for this purpose. It's kind of barebones, but functional. Seems like its biggest difference with movary is that it also covers TV, ebooks, audiobooks, and games.
I have a little section for movies and books on my website and i've been working on a script to automatically pull those lists and reviews from MediaTrackers api each time I build my site.
Stay suspicious. As a security guy, i'd way rather respond to 1,000 false positive reports than have an employee that doesn't think about it and just clicks.
Neat
The shuttle SRB's were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.
And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.
You're not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn't compare to what SpaceX does now.
It is a great step but it's rare to have enough buy in from upper managent to enforce any real consequences for repeat offenders. I've seen good initial results from this kind of phishing testing, but the repeat offenders never seem to change their habits and your click rate quickly plateaus.
Frankly because I haven't figured out quality profiles yet and saw separate instances recommended a few places.
Namecheap + the dynamic DNS client in pfSense. No issues sinve I set it up years ago.
Before that it was a cron job that updated through the google domains api.
I've used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven't gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
I love this solution, I've been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.
Look into using GNU stow! It's exactly what you're doing but it creates the symlinks for you.
This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.
For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I'm looking for. I don't really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.
Da Archive maybe? Most of my stuff has come from there.
I swear by ddrescue. It's a situation I strive to never be but i've been there before. I used it once to rescue an employees masters capstone project from their dead work laptop.
Lots of searching
Wow, I'm also ex-mormon and found myself in a similar position when I received a book on Isaiah written by my grandfather. It sat on my shelf for years until I was working my way through an ancient to modern literature reading list and read it alongside the old testament.
It's alright. I have it tied in to my existing Calibre library so my metadata and library management workflows haven't really changed. The process of finding and downloading new books has just been streamlined a bit.
Winget is the best thing added to the windows ecosystem in a long time. I just wish it worked out of the box on Server :(
knock 3 times
oh boy, the knock 3 times rule, that brings back some memories. I spent a miserable 6 months as a Mormon missionary and my first companion would always knock 3 times. I always felt it was rude, especially when he would do it at a house where we knew someone was home and just not answering the door.
Oh MediaTracker looks nice, thanks!
.1Q because Q has a tag on it
As someone in the thick of it, it has been a nervewracking quarter for mortgage company IT and Infosec teams. There have been several very high profile breaches the last few months.
Durability is a big concern for me as well. I bought a Pixel 2 at launch and had it until June of this year, almost 6 years. It was still in decent shape, but the battery had become unreliable and the cost of paying someone to replace it and fix the cracked screen was almost as much as a new in box Pixel 5. Hopefully my Pixel 5 will also last me a similarly long time.
What kind of problems have you had with your 6?
Oh I'd definitely second 12 Angry Men. I'd also add Dr. Strangelove
Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I've seen.
