My parents are American and I spent almost half of my life in the USA. Like you I have also traveled around the world. Possibly my view is skewed because I'm currently traveling around the Gulf states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) on vacation and they are super poor, but to claim that the US is better than almost anywhere in Europe is crazy to me. Japan and South Korea and New Zealand also seemed nicer. Heck, you only have to cross the border to Canada to get to a place more more rational. Every place has problems, and not every place is great for every person, but the US is far down on the list of places that I would want to live ever again.
I'm not sure since I haven't really used Windows for 20 years or so. I don't think though, since there are separate CURSES libraries for Windows which don't operate using escape sequences.
It's a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆
For some reason I remember a lot of ANSI terminal escape codes. They were used all the time on DOS machines, and work in a similar way on Unix terminals.
i2p is a bit like Tor. Both are overlay networks, meaning that they use the "normal" Internet as their lowest layer. They use similar method of obfuscation using multiple hops.
i2p doesn't rely on special nodes, I think, which Tor does. i2p also does not connect to the "normal" Internet (basically).
Like with Tor there is no need for a VPN (or rather, little need for a VPN... probably both i2p and Tor are safer than any VPN, but nothing is 100% safe, so some people use double VPN, or Tor over a VPN).
Tor is not designed for torrenting. It assumes TCP connections - mostly for web stuff - and doesn't handle torrent well. They also don't want you bogging down the system with your filthy porn. 😆
i2p solves this by forcing you to send data for other users in order to download anything. This helps make your traffic harder to track and helps the overall network. It also means that downloads are slow. Very slow. Like, basically start your download and come back in a day or two. Not a problem if you have four or five downloads in progress, but it makes spontaneous watching impossible.
Anyway, I'm hardly an expert but this is my understanding!
According to this page there is no quarantine in Finland, you just have to wait a specified time after vaccinating your cats:
I've only been to Helsinki, and only in the summer. It was lovely but I couldn't really say if it makes sense to live there. My wife's best friend is Finnish and is a bit mad, like every other Finn that I've ever met. So... good luck!
Dutch does that but there are limits. Four, five, six words smashed together?! Doe normaal! Germans... always going a bit too far.... 😉
People tend to hire people that they like. You don't really know who is best for a job unless you've hired multiple people and they have been working for a while.
Having employees who happen to have the same background as hiring managers is not the same as having the best employees, but that's what we have.
If you'd had DEI training you'd know this. 😉
I don't watch a lot of TV so it's enough for me. Although to be honest if my partner ever gets smart and leaves me I'll drop all streaming and just use i2p. 😆
So many home instructions are so much easier with a photograph or two, or better yet a video.
WTF, mate?
