CORRECTION: In a previous version of this article, we reported that that the UKHSA had refused to release data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths, as it argued that “releasing the data would lead to the ‘distress or anger’ of bereaved relatives if a link was found.” This was inaccurate; the UKHSA did not argue that the data could lead to the distress or anger of bereaved relatives if a link were found. In fact, it argued that the data could lead to “the families of the deceased being subjected to unsolicited approaches by the media and anti-vaccine campaigners”. This correction has been published following a partly upheld complaint to the Independent press Standards Organisation.

It appears that it's the Cloudflare Security Center scanning service? This would also explain how my unpublished service was located as I use Cloudflare for my DNS.

I run an unpublished service used by 1s of people and was hit by an influx of supposed OS X user agents that didn't correspond to my actual user base.

`unattended-upgrade` uses only a subset of repos (ie security) and does this for you. If you actually wanted to schedule reboots, it can do that too.

I was pleasantly shocked that Forgejo is literally a single binary with a relatively easy config. All my internal services reference my Forgejo instance so, if I need to bail on GitHub, it's low friction for me.

Scroll down to the section that mentions Americans for Tax Reform and links to the presentation: Doing taxes keeps citizens aware of the tax burden imposed upon them by the government. A Return-Free scheme would allow the government to raise revenues invisibly

In case you're not aware of Norquist, https://gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/1...: The paradox for taxpayers is that visible, painful taxes are the taxpayer's best protection against runaway government spending and taxes.

If you've opted out of netplan, then you need to configure one of systemd-networkd or NetworkManager manually (on server, NetworkManager is only present if you've installed it).

I personally used to be opposed to netplan but I had to do some very esoteric network configuration which was super easy with netplan.

Fumbling with your phone sounds like a silly statement but so did fumbling with your wallet.

I really don't know how you're linking MPG ratings and maintenance costs as some sort of collision. Maintenance costs certainly seem like they're increasing but I attribute that to cars turning into fickle computers that happen to have wheels and require specialized knowledge to diagnose. I do routine maintenance on my car but am terrified of doing anything that touches the 480V system.

That being said, I doubt that's the core issue in this case.

Apple - consumers give the company for hardware which is locked into a closed ecosystem. Apple extracts extra revenue by enforcing this closed ecosystem. There can be no competition other than not purchasing their hardware in the first place.

Google - consumers sometimes give them money (for both hardware and services) which Google then uses to push their other products to the detriment of their competitors. Due to Google's size, the competition is at a massive disadvantage. Also, given that most consumers don't give them money, Google needs to make money off of their consumers and the most profitable method is to monetize PII.

Meta - consumers basically never give them money (excluding Oculus) so Meta needs to make money off of their consumers. The most profitable method is to monetize PII.

I have a little more sympathy for Google and Meta's situation as the EU wants them to maintain their free services while simultaneously reducing their ability to monetize their most valuable asset, consumers' PII (note that PII ultimately belongs to the consumer but it's still the thing that the companies use to make money). There needs to be some sort of happy medium here when people want something without paying for it but also don't want what's valuable about them being a user - their PII - to be monetized.

To be clear, these multi billion/trillion dollar companies don't need anyone defending them. However, it would be interesting to see what the EU's position would be if Meta started as an EU company.

Basically, hospital employees have reasonable access to patients/records as part of their care but CPS needs to go through a process for the same access. This particular employee wore both hats to obtain alleged illegal access to the children/records.

I do enjoy my Arch desktop but it's a labor of love.

It sounds like maybe you've had issues but the process does typically work.
