The great firewall isn't designed to protect those inside from the outside. It is designed to isolate those inside from getting outside. It's like saying a prison wall is there to protect the prisoners from invaders. Sure in Fallout they worked out to be useful for that, but that isnt what it was built for and would have needed modifications like turning the barbed wire outwards to make it work for that purpose better.

I use NFS shares for all of my volumes so they're more portable for future expansion and easier to back up. It uses additional disk space for the cache of course, but i have plenty.

When I add a second server or add a dedicated storage device as I expand, it has made it easier to move with almost no effort.

I never got this kind of porn. I mean I like porn as much as anyone, but why would I want all of the people to have basically the same, "perfect" body parts and skin and such. That's so boring, IMHO.

The only reason I might be interested in seeing a celebrity nude is to see what their individual body looks like after I've been scintillated by seeing them in something sexy. There are tons of attractive porn actresses if I want to see a sculpted body or someone else's body. Though, for me, lack of consent is a big turn off. But I get that doesn't apply to the majority of porn users. They like the scandal of it and think of it as a taboo around an object rather than an invasion of an actual person's privacy.

Anyway, if you consume a lot of this type of porn, doesn't it get boring really quick?

No Zuckerberg is just part of the fascist movement now, since the right uses corporate social media and is more tolerant of ads than the left now. Before he was more interested in attracting technically literate people who would actually use the platform and were more tolerant of user experience changes as they tried to become more profitable, which was more the left. Now that technical literacy is allowing them to move to platforms where they aren't a product, so the profit is in the people who are stuck with the platform.

Reduce space used by cars and give it to the robots. Increase funding for public transportation to compensate. Overall, this will improve lots of things and the problem is being caused by corporations, not pedestrians, so if people don't like "giving up their cars", then they can complain to the corporations instead of complaining to the cities.

Also Canonical has added a lot of problems to promote their monetization strategies lately. Mostly aimed at business rather than regular users, but still causes problems for home users.

I generally prefer RHEL based distros over Debian based ones, so Rocky Linux for servers is my current go to and Fedora for desktop, though Fedora is heading in a similar direction as Ubuntu I feel...

Yeah, probably best bet is to uninstall and purge settings. Depending on the district you're using and it's package manager, you it may be as simple as apt purge vim. And just to be sure remove all vimrc files from all user home folders including root.

Did your keyboard mapping get changed? Try running this to check the current locale:

localectl status

Other settings are generally dependent on the distro you're using.

I think mailcow only supports Pushover for notifications, but it may have changed.

Signal is the easiest with true end to end encryption with keys stored on the endpoints only.

Also Google on 2008: "By saying “common”, we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage."

Yeah, they now no longer censor things like saying that LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill or that women are "household objects" or that all immigrants are criminals (regardless of immigration status). So, yes they stopped censoring hate-speech that far right people don't consider hate speech because they consider those things as accepted facts.

This issue is more likely about the perception that anyone with an interest in technology is a cyber criminal. Same reason that the Bush administration's NSA flagged subscribers to the Liinux forums. Knowledge is power and they believe anyone who wants knowledge is a threat to their power. They'd prefer to go back to the dark ages and die of dysentery than accept women as equal, gay people as human, or brown people as neighbors (which is even more ironic when coming from other brown people).
