My primary banks apps, and websites, work fine on Graphene, with the exception of anything NFC payment related. I do miss that convenience, but I still have a debit card and cash as needed.

So then you have to run those apps as root user, or does sudo to your own user work? I wouldn't expect it to with those perms set. Seems more dangerous than just dealing with the cruft.

Can never predict your future. Enjoy what you will, when you can. I was in a motorcycle accident in 2021, TBI, hospitalized for 3mo, induced coma, and rehab for 9 months after. I am back on the horse. It is just a zen and still relaxing tim

So the `OnCalendar` stanza is the same as a Cron job; without the helpful comments of the ordering? And that is considered _easier_?? Just use Cron. It does one thing and does it well.

The spend is going to AI (which is 70% Reddit sourced); of course its being wasted. You don't need KPIs to tell you that.

The man (character) was a rightful, respected, hard-ass. But made good points with evidence to explain the _why_; a true leader.

Mortgage loans and car loans in America also ask for your W-2 or proof of that said income. Can't prove it, they won't let you use your claimed income as basis for loan approvals.

While the most well known, there are other points of presence doing the same thing. Easy and trivial to duplicate traffic at line speed. It doesn't affect the traffic flow itself.

Did the genetic genome tests from the biopsy, from a third party company. Helped guide the treatments.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that connection either. I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, but was identified as 'genetic' and not caused by diet or lifestyle. I used to be a heavy runner too, done a few marathons, an

IMO, it goes against 'self-hosted' too. Self-hosting for your own data, control of it, and handling of it. Self-hosting to learn new things and scratch your own itch for a niche product. AI vibe coding doesn't have any of tha

Interesting. I was a LEO, moved gradually into infosec. I think the stresses are different, but LEO was way more actively stressful.

Listing an active US security clearance on your LinkedIn or resume, is a sure fire way to get malicious actors trying to "hire" you; and makes you way more of a target. Especially combined with your technologies, company and time
