That Kipling poem is flawless. Injecting virtue signalling dilutes its beauty. They don't even go together. This is personal for me because it is the most profound thing I've ever read. For someone to come and refer to it as sexis

This is what I have a problem with; one cannot even share a simple poem without it degenerating into a virtue signalling debate. Now you're forced to defend something that you had nothing to do with. Yuck.

I've done the same but for a proxy I needed to circumvent geofencing restrictions. I got a local(non-US) VPS provider and installed squid on it. I found it more affordable than the paid services out there and it's immensely better

Anytime you get an opportunity to reduce the overreaching powers of the state, that's a good thing! Today, we on the right have Trump, tomorrow there'll be someone on the left as president and that won't make us happy and vic

Wayland has been a nightmare for me since upgrading to ubuntu 18.04 I had to disable it because videos would not play for long without freezing either on the browser or vlc. Only a hard restart of the machine would resolve this.

Well aware of that. They (board) were a tad too eager to see this happen and only 'supported' him begrudgingly.
