Isn't this how it almost always goes? Workers getting phished and downloading something they think is harmless has got to be how 90%+ of ransomware is able to infect a business.

Okay, so I'll be set in the next few days. Many thanks!!!

Seems like this is still disabled, is it now in play for the foreseeable future? What about setting a time frame in which no images can be posted until it's surpassed? Or maybe have an approval required for adding the avatar and banner?

I text and call my friends just to chat way more often then to hang. It's definitely a little bit of both, but I stay in touch regularly using signal. I'm an oddity these days for sure, yet it's still an option and way more private vs social media.

Are people you follow and who follow you really friends or is it primarily just about increasing the amount of followers? I've never had any social media aside from MySpace, but I consider my friends as family. Sure, I bet a lot of Instagram accounts have more followers than I have friends, but we're all stoked to know one another and it has nothing to do with appearances.

I've taken it for years, only thing to be sure of is to cycle it. I go for a month on month off, but definitely see what your doc's rec is there over mine 100%.

Just for clarity, according to mountsinai.org "Cysteine is an amino acid, a building block of proteins that are used throughout the body. When taken as a supplement, it is usually in the form of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The body makes this into cysteine and then into glutathione, a powerful antioxidant."

I haven't had any major issues at all, it's been great all in all. I run Proton's VPN and NextDNS on my devices as well as router too.

While it's not an eReader, Alexandria in F-Droid is amazing. It allows you to download books from LibGen as well as convert the books into a different format if needed for whatever eReader you select. Definitely a nice app to pair with your new eReader!

It's always dependent on the time of day, as the more folks in your local area connecting to the local node will slow down everyones speed. Are you using a free VPN or do you pay for the service? This can drastically impact the speed as the number of Proton users on the server you're using also can reduce your speed.

Alternatively, do you use a DNS to filter BS connections only there for tracking? Paying for the VPN + using NextDNS to stop unwanted connections has resulted with my speeds being a minimum of 3MB with a max around 150MB. I have a 300MB connection, but the time of day, DNS filtering, as well as routing through a VPN all influence your speed. Thankfully these speeds are more than enough for my use case and also add to my ability to have online anonymity.

Edit: I use the official client but use the WiFi settings in Fedora to connect to my DNS server. There's also a setting to increase speeds in the Proton client, maybe give that a shot too if you don't have it turned on.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine, commonly sold under the name NAC, is an amazing over the counter liver aid you should think about adding to your med list. It's one of the most energy intensive detox molecules made by your liver. Taking it orally provides your liver a helping hand and allows it to focus more on detoxification rather than producing the required tools for detox. But definitely talk to your doc about it all, yet it's something you can do to help out without much worry as its basically a fancy amino acid.

"The truth is now treason to the US empire", well put by R.A. right there!

Great list, this post is getting saved without question! I don't see Kolourpaint though, which is a great FOSS digital art program. I'd say it should be added to the list as it's my go to for light weight photo editing. Also, Obsidian isn't FOSS, which may not be what your looking for specifically as it has a free option. I prefer Standard Notes as it's FOSS and great for managing notes privately across devices.
