Yes, even exorbitant ones like on a cruise ship or casino. Free checks, too. And mutual funds with lower fees than Vanguard. But virtually no physical branches (most locations are brokerage offices only) so not ideal for depositing cash or

Unlimited fees reversed with Schwab checking. No monthly fee to figure out how to avoid, either.

Installing a WiFi client certificate (in lieu of a PSK) and installing a root certificate used for TLS (in lieu of those distributed with the OS) are two completely different things, no?

Is Zoneminder your main interface? I've been using it for several years with a few Reolink 5MP cameras, and maybe it comes down to choices I've made which I should revisit, but it's painfully slow (say, 30 seconds) to start p

The `~` path (and `cd` with no arguments, to get there) are also part of the prime real estate. It's as if these polluters think you'll enjoy accessing their stuff via `~/<tab>` which might or might not be true.
