They said straight up, "I googled you and couldn't find a Twitter or Facebook account. What are you hiding?" I had to teach them who Armand Jean du Plessis was.

Opting out of social media these days is considered inherently suspicious. It definitely came up the last time I had to undergo a background check for work.

It's pretty nice. The REST API for running searches makes running SearxNG worth it, if nothing else.

I've tested wifi calling on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. How well it works (call quality, whether or not the call gets dropped, how often it gets dropped) has always been a crapshoot. Using a real VoIP client to connect to my Asterisk box? Significantly more stable and usable.

No. There are easier and more reliable ways to backdoor stuff that don't run the risk of somebody's fuzzer stumbling across it. Which, I hasten to add, can be installed in such a way that disabling it bricks the device (which means that nobody will bother).

I usually don't take the rewards - I like to pay it forward for the few times I really needed them.

I usually just say "Nah, no time, just ring me up."

Grocery stores. Picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy (there have been a couple of months where I couldn't have afforded the cost if there weren't discount points on 510-867-5309). Stuff at the hardware store. Target, occasionally.

You missed the point.
