Not really. Ddg sells the right to show ads on a search with a given keyword. They don't send your query keywords to an advertiser or whatever.

You are not forced to buy their product, or to buy into their schedule.

A lot of the actions people tend to use are just unnecessary. They're simple wrappers around real tools. In those cases, use mise-en-place. It's a single action that installs all relevant tools (and keeps your local dev env in che

Cloud-init isn't about boot process, it's about initial provisioning of a system. If you need the host's public keys registered somewhere, you can do that using cloud-init, but there's not built-in mechanism. You'd

Meanwhile the US has more than 4 different state owned cyber crime apps named after random things such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook, and many more. The kicker is they run all over the world. Anyway, that doesn't in any way

Perhaps. But I wouldn't be so sure. It has functionality to replace the following tools: - make (via its tasks feature) - direnv (via its environments features) - Just about most package managers (via it's dev tools features) It h

I'd skip that and use mise. It's an asdf compatible manager and does so much more. It manages scripts (replacing make), environment variables and it's super fast.

I've noticed many metro systems in cities do somehow receive GPS and cellular networks which I'm always impressed by. London on the other hand, has only recently started receiving signal for cellular networks, and rollout is slow.

Pihole/adguard are great, and while their function overlaps with uBo, they are still different. You should use both. UBo (and uBoL) have additional rules that can clean up pages. E.g. removing containers of ads. It does much more too.

I have never denied helm is a mistake that people refuse to stop using. I quite think of Helm as the same as Ansible. Helm is only nice when you consume packages written by others.

Ansible is a procedural mess. It's like helm had a baby with a very bad procedural language. It works, but it's such a mess to work with. Half of the time it breaks because you haven't thought about some if statement that cov

Usually in those scenarios you stop and do the research yourself and correct it. You don't keep asking it. Also starting new conversations often help.

DRM can work on Linux, it's just developers choose to not enabled support, and in some cases (Epic Games) actively update games so it won't work with Linux.

The problem is that a new project and even a fork would need buy in buy companies like Samsung. Otherwise a project LineageOS would be much more popular. This is hard to do without serious money.

Curve Pay is a viable option last I checked. I am unaware of any payment options on Amex UK app. Amex expects you to link your card with Google Wallet.

Is the US government is so much more stable than Iran's? The US has been directly or indirectly involved in all conflict in the middle east in the past few decades, and the instability in the region is due to the US's failed forei

Ignore the rest of what wrote, and preemptively call facts silly. I'm sure you're more familiar with the matter than IAEA. Heck, even Tulsi Gabbard, the US intelligence director initially said they were not building nuclear weapon

Every international body had checked, and confirmed that Iran had no intention of building nuclear weapons. Even to this day. Even after what Israel and US did. Netanyahu has been saying Iran in minutes away from building nuclear weapons si

Just be careful with Make's exit codes. Just gobbles them up and exits 2 with no way of disabling it from what I could gather. Instead use mise tasks.

You're tech savvy enough, you're not the target for such a feature. The target is the grandmas and grandpas, and other people who have no idea about such things.

You don't need kubernetes in the same way you don't need a fast internet service. Sure you can work with dial up, but working with 1gbps internet line is just so much more convenient
