I use SMS/RCS. Not everyone uses Signal, and I won’t install WhatsApp.

But the US can impose a few inconviniences on you:

“You lose immediate access to all the main credit cards that go through the Swift system, which is controlled by the U.S.,” she said. “My Amazon and Google accounts were closed. You cannot pay for your utilities, your subscriptions. You’re completely crippled when it comes to booking hotels, trains, flights. You can’t buy dollars because your name is flagged.”.

I have to use Windows at work, but I can use WSL on the developer laptop. Also I develop for/on Linux servers via ssh, so it’s good that I know Linux from home.

Keepass2Android can use an sftp server. If something was changed on the desktop, Keepass2Android will ask if it should merge the changes.

You forgot the -print0 at the end of the find command. In the read -r -d '' you want to read NUL-separated strings, so you must tell the find command to also use NUL characters between the filenames.

I found uPnP is not advised due to security risk

There are different uPnP things: one that lets apps open ports in your router (security risk) and one with media renderer (safe).

You said you/I/everyone can use multiple shells, I said: no, I can’t, at least not on all the machines that I have to use.

Some people work on machines where they are not allowed to install anything.

There’s jc (CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries).

I didn’t know that, thanks for pointing it out!

If you’re not allergic to Amazon, a FireTV stick might be enough, at least for Jellyfin, Youtube/Netflix etc. (not sure about streaming from the browser).

They could buy a chip card.

I’m almost sure that ./ is the directory of the compose.yaml.

Normally I just run docker compose up -d in the project directory, but I could run docker compose up -d -f /somewhere/compose.yaml from another directory, and then the ./ would be /somewhere, and not the directory where I started the command.

There are also some SAT receivers that run Linux, see e.g. https://www.opena.tv/app.php/atv_images

I use ctrl-r.

What happens if you put “police your_city” in your favorite search engine? I tried it with my current city and the village where I grew up, and both led me to the phone number in reasonable time.

The Raspberry Pi Zero in USB gadget mode can be used for GPIO. If you don’t want to setup gadget mode, get Pi Zero W.

Does it have more than one video output? If yes, you could try the other one.

Also there’s a timeout setting in the same file.

You can update and it won’t break anything, because Intel microcode won’t be loaded into AMD CPUs. If you run apt show intel-microcode it tells you that there is a amd64-microcode package as well. If it is not already installed, you can install it, and then try to remove intel-microcode. If it doesn’t want to remove anything else (e.g. the kernel), you can remove it. If not, just leave it installed.
