The US Dollar is up against almost every major currency, uncluding the British Pound. It's up against the Franc (though way off of ath's), the Yen, the Krone, etc. It's a safety trade, the European economy is much more fragile than the US's. China and Russia are testing the waters on how far they can push things, so the dollar gets bought up. If Russia cuts off Nord Stream it will be quite disastrous for most every country in the region sans Norway because it's essentially a petrostate.

People seem to think that if Ukraine collapses and Russia just takes it that the EU/US will just be able to back off, but that's not in the cards.
You can't in Austria - you can additionally get a private insurance, but it's by no means mandatory.

Although I pay most of my urgent stuff in cash, and get it back later (not everything), because otherwise I have to wait 3 months + for a simple scan :/
Interesting, thank you for sharing. I didn't know. (I assumed it was like France, where it's also mandatory at 7.30%+1.30% (in some regions))
My conjecture is that happiness will not be found by a job switch. Having a stable job that gives you the money and enough time to pursue your life’s passions is very valuable. I think an artist with a day job would be happier than an artist that scrapes by selling their art. Quitting a well paying job that provides free time _right away_ adds unnecessary lifestyle pressure. My advice is to find and foster your passions outside of work before making career changes, then reorient your life with renewed focus.

You single and don't have a personal vehicle? I'm Married, and have kids, in a lower COL area. I paid ~9% federal income tax, ~7% state income tax, ~1% of that in property tax, without attributing for healthcare insurance every paycheck, and uncounted more in sales tax, gas tax, etc etc. I have spent ~90% of my take home income trying to barely survive in the last year.

Being able to save 50% of your income is a level of privilege many don't have regardless of effective tax rates.
> I charged about what I was making as a full-timer, but padded my hours. Typically work 2-3hrs, bill for 4.

This is illegal. To anyone considering solo dev work, do not do this. Charge what you are worth and bill accurately. That typically means salary/2000 for hourly and then 2 or 3 to cover overhead. If you're making $200k that's ~$100/hr and consult at $200-$300/hr.

Careful what you wish for. We (in the UK) fund the NHS significantly to the point that it's now a political football - freezing funding to it and wanting it to be better run is political suicide, but wanting to cancel a piece of national infrastructure (HS2, our second high speed railway) that would demonstrable add to the country's GDP, and cost a tiny amount in comparison, is fine.
From top of my head:

A- If you want to be able to restore to any point after installing your system: LVM/ZFS/BTRFS snapshots got you covered.

B1- If you want to install your system the way you want, you have Kickstart (RedHat family) and Preseed (Debian family). You can provide an installation template to the installers, and they install your system the way you want.

You want to get your /etc/ afterwards the installation? Either provide it on a disk, or your local network, or anywhere on the internet. Either integrate it to your Kickstart/Preseed end hooks, or do it after your first boot.

B2- If you want something more fancy? Create a FAI installation media which installs the system you want.

C- You want to transform an existing Debian system to something you want? You get the dpkg package selection state and set to the target system, apply the state so the system is converted to your own selections. Apply the /etc via git or any way you want.

D- Want something more programmatic? Run an Ansible playbook locally (This is how GitLab installs and configures itself during install).

E- For fleet installations there are XCAT and network variants of B1, but they are out of scope for personal systems.

We use E in our system room. I used B1 for personal systems and B2 to deploy an installation country-wide via USB sticks. I used C in the same project for a small subset of servers. In these cases, all systems are operational in the first boot, starting from a known state.

I know a lot of people using A, and nudging me to try/use it. GitLab uses D every time I upgrade it.
Ok, I don't follow the details so closely, I assume you are correct.

Which Russian companies still have significant income in foreign currency? I thought trade has mostly stopped. Except for energy, but that is dealt with in a different way anyway as discussed above, because still excluded from sanctions from the West and the Ruble requirement from Russia.

Then there is of course China and India which seem to intensify trade. No idea what currency they pay in and whether the increase has already been significant during 4 months.

The Communications Act Section 127 was based on the existing Malicious Communications Act (1988) passed by the Thatcher government. And the UK has had plenty of other speech restrictions like blasphemy laws (abolished by Blair) to suspiciously broad offences against obscenity existing since time immemorial.

The Online Safety Bill is the brainchild of a Conservative government, included as a flagship commitment in a Conservative manifesto aiming to appeal to conservatively minded voters, a successor administration to the Conservative government who brought us the national porn block. Nothing makes it easier for such legislation to be passed more than revisionist nonsense about how the wonders of negative liberty meant we never needed any of the positive protections this law specifically supersedes and it's all the left's fault anyway.

"pH will drop to pH7.95 by 2045, and most marine life in our oceans dissolve."

As someone who considers themselves an environmentalist, I find this sort of language to have a net-negative impact on our collective cause. The paper fails to provide comprehensive evidence for the idea that a pH change of 0.08 will result in all carbonate-based marine life dissolving.

When 2045 comes, and the coral still exists, our populace will be further trained to ignore the warnings of climate scientists.

Some aspects of the license covers "any games"... like not being able to sell copies. Some only impact games with an online component, like AC here. All these restrictions come from the license agreement you buy.

You're purchased "good" was a license to use some software. That license defines the rules for using that software. If the license says they can remotely disable your game then they can remotely disable your game without violating the license or committing fraud.

There is of course some question about the enforcement of licenses, particularly click through licenses, but the legal doubt doesn't help due to the arbitration clauses in those same licenses and/or challenging them in court being ridiculously expensive.
Syria’s far away from Europe and in reality no refugees from there have the right to protection from Europe. The EU being the moral superpower that it is helped them anyway, so I think it deserves praise, not criticism.

If and when they start policing political views of their maintainers, it would be fair to criticize them. But the theoretical possibility of such a thing happening has no relevance to whether 2FA is a reasonable request.
When I was growing up, fairly young still (13), the shuttle blew up shortly after liftoff. It set the whole program back by many years, crushing many of my dreams for rapid expansion into space (it was also fairly traumatizing to watch the repeated coverage).

Just don’t go into these states when you don’t live there. Don’t remain if you are not fond of sharia law. Don’t remain if the uncertainty surrounding this law puts your profession at risk (such as ob-gyn vs liability). Let them stew in the own juices. The tax rates and the lack of winter aren’t worth the ethics hit. Unless, of course, you’re in it for the money.

Those that remain, well, choices have consequences.
I would strongly disagree

It is not that government = bad.

It is that government having data which allows for influence of people == destruction of democracy as the government is supposed to reflect the will of people rather than the other way around. It is an incredibly short path to: autocracy, oligarchies, dictatorships, etc.

I cant remember the last Marvel film I watched, it may have been Endgame. I find them to be rather grey, passionless affairs, lacking in any depth or decent character development.

I watched Top Gun Maverick last week and it was so much better as an action/adventure film than the multitude of Superhero films released over the last 15 years. The ariel dogfights were a hundred times more exhilirating than anything in a Marvel film.

The sitting part is actually not in the original quote (“Tout le malheur des hommes vient d’une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos dans une chambre”). It was just about staying at rest in a room.

Note that “at rest” being specified, it really was about doing nothing. And sure, Blaise Pascal was extremely active, extremely prolific since his very early days, and he probably couldn’t stay still doing nothing for long.

It won't exist in the ocean. This language is accurate, based on what we know, and appropriately conclusive.

accurate.
What you describe seems to be a lack of setting a personal goal for yourself. A goal that gives you a sense of purpose and personal growth.

Things you considered fantastic when you where younger are, of course, still fantastic (if not to you then certainly to somebody else). Once you achieved these things, you realized that many of these things are still very important but more similar to carrying a responsibility than providing a sense of fulfillment beyond this responsibility.

It is probably fine to not have any meetings, but how many meaningful conversation do you have with people you care outside of your family (at the job, while enjoying a hobby, when talking to people in your neighborhood) on a regular basis?

What is certainly human is to reflect on paths taken, to think about possibilities, to think about what could have been. This is natural but not necessarily very helpful. The key is not to live in the past or to live in the future... the key is to live in the present and learn to see and enjoy the good moments in life while they last.

You wrote you have a good relationship with your wife and that you have healthy kids. Congratulations! You are blessed with something you can`t buy with money or status. Make the most out of it.

PyPI asking for 2FA is in no way different from an open source project asking you to run their unit tests before submitting a PR. Sure, it puts a burden on you, the open source contributor, but it is balanced by removing a burden from the project maintainers.
