   Does anyone know if there is a way to check if one's data is included in that leak, à la haveibeenpwned?

   > why is it that the EU vaccine rollout has been dismal compared to the US and UK? Because both do not export any vaccine. And the EU does. So even Canada cannot get vaccines from the US and gets it from the EU which exported about half

   I’d say most of the world’s population does not know how to pronounce “Pfizer” correctly. And it’s Bion-tech.

   Credit where credit is due. It was developed by BioNtech and Pfizer helped with trial and distribution. Calling it Pfizer vaccine because it is American or just because it is bigger is such a shame. Give credit to the small company that dev

   This reminds me that I should finally revisit YNAB and re-open those browser tabs that explain how it works and integrate it into my life. (And transfer their US-centric approach to my European reality...) God damn it.

    I love this font so much. Actually I use the nerdfonted version "Caskaydia". It just sucks that it does not have italics. But just the last month I was trying out every other font under the sun (with ligatures), including checking

    I mean if I don’t trust their devices I will surely not trust their VPN server. Settings one up is easy, blocking internet for a network device on the router level is trivial. No need for complicated setups IMHO.

    Such a nice device! And the software is so full of features. I was quite surprised and suspected a much shittier product. Just the case situation is dire.

    Right. I would never have any device like a camera be directly connected to the internet and instead cut off that device from the internet in my router software and only access it from outside via a VPN. Not that this whole screw-up should

    I always thought that the main selling point of their devices was that you can run your own Ubiquiti server at home and keep everything local? They are always portrayed as the not-so-shitty IoT company.

    With the limited internal storage there is not much future-proofness to me. A folder I sync to my device with PDF, books, etc. is close to 6GB. There is not much room left for others. The way it looks remarkable wants to introduce a paid cl

    Maybe the expectations of a "cloud city" should also be lowered. I guess it would be more like the ISS and less like Lando's station. The general idea of colonization of other planets is in general much farther away than your
