Not from the US but currently living here. I would say the Disability Act is the gold standard worldwide. The amount of consideration for people with a variety of disabilities that almost universally applies is exceptionally amazing. It's kind of shocking to see the dedication to adhering to that law while otherwise abandoning that portion of the population (e.g. Healthcare, SSDI, etc.).

That really depends on your use case and how valuable web search is for your daily life.

I've personally tried Google, Bing, DDG, Brave search, and ChatGPT. Kagi is consistently able to find what I'm searching for more quickly and accurately than anything else, which has been very valuable for me in my personal and professional life.

It's easily worth the cost in result quality and time saving for me personally, but that doesn't mean the same will apply to you or anyone else.

As far as stand out features, there aren't really any that I can think of. It just gives me the results I'm looking for without any bullshit to wade through.

It's a very minor annoyance and well worth it in my opinion.

I was searching for a book quote for over a year. I tried every search engine, tried changing the terms, checking back several times every few weeks or so, but couldn't find anything even close. I tried kagi and it was literally the very first result on my very first search.

I haven't looked back and have never had an issue finding what I'm searching for since.

I use playlet on roku which uses invidious, but I recommend setting up your own invidious instance since YouTube has been cracking down on the public instances.

After reading the article I'm pretty sure it's the former. It's an inkjet printer with "advanced print head technology," whatever that's supposed to mean.

I'll stick with my laser printer for documents and dye-sub for photos.

Honestly I don't think I would have filed for divorce before the medication. I was convinced that I was not only the problem, but that I was an evil villain, and that I was making the world a better place by killing myself. Suicide was the noble and heroic action in my mind at the time, and it's only with the benefit of hindsight, continued medication, regular therapy, and reassurances from my family that I'm able to recognize how toxic my former situation was.

Oh damn, I have no idea. I haven't been on -the-site-which-shall-not-be-named- in over a year. That's really sad if true.

For me personally, it didn't really feel like anything. Kind of like taking an over the counter pain medicine, it's not an obvious change but the pain that was there before is numbed or even entirely gone. Not noticeable unless consciously thinking about it.

It took a while to find the right dosage (roughly a year, multiple hospital visits, and a divorce from a toxic marriage), but I went from being obsessed with suicide and doing multiple attempts every day to being horrified at the thought of suicide and wanting to live as long as possible.

I really wish Sr Grafo joined the fediverse. I miss his comics and haven't found a suitable replacement yet.

True, but I was more thinking about the issue of reconnecting in general when you just nuked sshd.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Sure, I suppose as long as sshd is up and running in the ramdisk environment (which you mentioned in another comment, along with all other services) you could always reconnect. Very neat and clever!

What happens if the SSH session closes before dd finishes? Sounds pretty badass but I don't think I would trust this approach in prod lol
