Ah! Guess my memories are a few years out of date, from before r***it still existed.

Good to know! Still have to watch out for that every service you receive is counted as "in-network". I've read horror stories where somebody with an emergency goes to a hospital that their insurance promises them is "in-network", then later receive a surprise bill because one of the doctors that attended them at that hospital was "out-of-network". Why was the doctor at that hospital then? It's just something they do apparently.

/s I hope?

  • eating meat -> vegetarianism/carnivorism -> environmentalism/global climate change/ethical treatment of animals/ethical treatment of humans -> politics
  • additives/plastics in food -> government regulation of ingredients/maximum allowed pollution levels/rules limiting plastic packaging -> small/big government/regulation vs. personal freedom -> politics
  • ethnic food -> immigration/integration/multiculturalism/isolationism/white cultural genocide -> politics

I don't know why there should be a divide on beliefs about climate change between Republican/Democrat political parties, but given that there certainly currently is, climate change and everything related is now political speech.

On the order of hundreds of thousands to over a million dollars without insurance, on order of $50k-$100k in copayments with insurance. Either way will wipe you out financially, effectively forcing you to go through medical bankruptcy and resetting any savings you have to $0. In addition, the equity in your house and car can also be seized, above some personal homestead exemption ($250k in New York for example, where the average house price is $2M, and $5k for vehicle). Not sure if they kick you out of the house immediately, or put a lien on it that comes due when you die/move out and house is sold. The only savings that are safe from bankruptcy are retirement savings in IRA and future social security payments.

As NT-master race, had to look it up:

can be configured per application

wireguard can too using network namespaces

not exclusively as an interface in kernel mode

Which devices are you people running where you want VPN/proxy but don't have kernel permissions to run wireguard? Firefox on iPhone? Porn on wifi washing machine?

but hopefully for the last time

That's what they said last time. "Never again" etc.

Curious, what is SOCKS5 used for that regular wireguard cannot do? I'm only familiar with the use case of telling Firefox to connect through a SOCKS5 proxy, which may be convenient as a form of split tunneling - only firefox traffic goes through the VPN and everything else through clearnet - but wireguard can be configured into a split tunnel form as well with a bit more work, and works for all software not just the ones aware of SOCKS proxies. Is it for use on a system where your permissions are too limited to turn on wireguard but not so limited that you cannot change Firefox proxy settings?

In theory, the rich can just continue paying off each other spending money on rich people stuff. 80% of the economy consisting of activities like robot-staffed billionaire-owned construction companies making and selling super-yachts to oil billionaires, who made their fortune selling fuel to space tourism companies ferrying billionaire designer bag heiresses to the Moon. The rest of us can starve to death and the economy won't even blink.

The retirement age gets raised every time she gets a birthday, just for her.

10TB written on a 1TB looks fine. They are designed for something like 300x write cycles.

Can also try badblocks (or btrfs-scrub) to check for bad blocks specifically.
