I was managing many systems from 2012 to 2019, upgrading from Debian 6 to 10 in the process, and it was always smooth (I was hitting some bugs, but I would hit these with a clean install too). I have written an article on this, unfortunatel

You can audit that the installed files match these from the packages (with the debsums program), though I don't know where to easily get the checksum file from an independent trusted source (as the checksums themselves can be tampered

In .cz, we have gasoline taxed heavily, with the rationale that it pays for roads. Additionally, highways have toll (for all cars) and major roads have tolls for heavy cars (as they damage more). And a tax is paid for every car used for bus

This is not the case of long COVID, though, as 1) the symptoms seem definitely bad, but IMHO not as a life not worth living 2) they usually don't remove the physical ability to commit suicide, so one can "fall back" to the &q
