I'm wondering if this is a real threat, or a conspiracy theory. If it's a real threat, wouldn't be the same with the NSA?

What song did you love until you found out what it was about? in c/[email protected]

Tears in heaven from Eric Clapton. I always liked this song, and didn't have a special connotation. But after learning its backstory, now I just feel sadness when I hear it. :-(

I remember when I saw this movie, I couldn't stop thinking how an "advanced" civilization that cannot cope with water decides to land in a planet that is 71% water. What were they thinking? A simple rain will solve the problem. Biggest loophole ever :-)

What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about? in c/[email protected]

Another thing I learned from Australia is to use www.airbnb.com.au to check prices. If I got it correct in Australia is forbidden to have hidden charges, so, what you see is what you pay.

which VPS do you recommend? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I'm also a switcher from ovh to hetzner. Good service, good support, fast machines, the administration website is very good (ovh was slow and ugly), snapshots and backups are cheap and directly available (AFAIR ovh snapshots required a monthly fee). Hetzner is Germany based, good for GDPR, and now they have data centers in USA too.

What single book/text would you recommend for people and what skill can it help them learn? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

The 7 habits of highly effective people. Stephen R. Covey

I like so much this book, it teaches so many things, one of those that I preach more is the 4 quadrant matrix for effective time management: An enlightening tool for people that live their lives solving crisis after crisis.

What's a handy terminal command you use often? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

haha, I can relate to that :). formerly I had the compulsion to execute sync frequently. Now my compulsion is to push Ctrl-C like 4 times every time I need it. I read somewhere that's common because of ^C has a lack of feedback to the user, so, a script showing an alert that the clipboard received some information helped with this compulsion.

How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm the type of person who gives money back to a cashier when they make a mistake by incorrectly giving me more money, that's very rare in the country where I was born.
