I don't think it's from a specific package. It's just the Daemon. I didn't really dig into why or what, don't have the time, and don't have the energy. I just get the message on the console when shutting down m

Funny thing, my auntie once got banned for life from Amazon. She used to sell used books on Amazon (as "used", obviously) until she got one single complaint from a client. Even though the complaint was without basis, she offered h

The female identity has been harassed while the male identity was treated with respect. I don't see how anonymity has anything to do with it, the visitors were equally anonymous in both cases.
