"I'm sorry, is 'your rear is as creamy as a bowl of oatmeal' not a compliment?"

I was raised by dyslexic wolves in a dixie cup full of turds and was basically educated by punches, so naturally my encyclopedic repertoire of words is aptly humbled by the plentiful platitude of my somewhat planar pronunciation.

I'm not blaming the current Dutch government, I'm blaming the old privateering regime. Same way that I can say that the British have blood on their hands for every escalated conflict in the middle-east, that does not mean that I blame the current British administration for it.
Given the Dutch's colonial history, these aren't necessarily mutually exclusive statements
Aye-yai Cap-ten!
Ah okay. I have no clue about macs. I guess the equivalent in Linux would be OpenSnitch
What is stealth mode?
I hear you, but I disagree:
It buys you enough time to check the journals and see that a group of IPs have attempted various ports giving you enough time to block the IP altogether.
It also buys you disinterest from the malicious host, since probably there's a hard limit on how many ports they will test, and they will flag your machine as "too much work" and try another.
Again, I agree with you that obfuscation is not security, but it sure does help.
Normally I'm very much anti "lets use robots to replace jobs", but this is one case where I think it would be a win for everybody. The robot won't care, and the elderly person won't feel their dignity lost, and all is taken care of behind closed doors.
My grandma started losing control of herself towards the end, and my mother did overtime in taking care of her and cleaning her. This sounds sweet, but it was a bad situation for everyone. My mother essentially started treating her own mother like a baby, often in front of us, and my grandmother (a proud and strong woman my entire life) essentially lost her sense of dignity and independence. I still remember her as the strong and proud woman she was, and I do my best to forget her last year.
We need robot caretakers.
I still use catharsis in the way one might use "recieving one's just punishment"
(Cathartic: It's the feeling of excrement. A bowl movement. Cleansing yourself after eating a bunch of chilli dogs and coming out the other side fresh.)
