Issue was not Pamac related, if it was then I’d have understood. They just saw that I had Pamac on my system and shut down my posts.

I’d disagree about that being the worst case scenario.

When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn’t ask me if I’m using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.

I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.

I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don’t remember the reason they gave for that.

That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.

Telegram isn’t e2e encrypted.

Really not much of a podcast person, but my favorite has to be the Stronger by Science podcast.

If one of the two sessions is cardio, then it’s not too bad. But yeah, lifting weights twice a day would be extremely difficult to recover from.

In my experience, Immich is way better for Photos.

I use a VPS. They don’t charge based on CPU utilization so I run Folding@Home on it.

Don’t forget it

Do you want the files to be automatically shared? Like there’s a folder on both your computers that’s synced

If so, syncthing is the way to go.

Mostly all the natural beauty and the low cost of living.

I visited for a few months and loved it.

power goes out 12 times a week, water’s on for only 5 hours a week, internet drops out every 2 hours, (only alternate option is musky),

I visited for 2 months the only one of these I experienced was the internet going out once.

no cops, no fire dept, no schools

That’s just not true at all.

trash is just piled up with no plan whatsoever,

I’m from NYC, so I guess I’m just used to trash.

no public transit

That’s true, but apartments in the middle of the city are so cheap that most things were within walking distance for me.

more superfund sites per sq mile than any state,

I’ve never looked at this when deciding where to live, but I just looked it up and there are way more within 50 miles of me than there are in all of Puerto Rico.

more taxes than in the USA

Still way cheaper cost of living than where I live.

hurricanes, earthquakes and narcos.

Those are the only things you mentioned that are an actual concern to me. Since I work remotely, I’d have the luxury of leaving temporary if there was a massive natural disaster.

I’ve been thinking of Puerto Rico.

Do Data Scientists count? I run Bedrock Linux with Hyprland WM and Alacritty as my terminal manager.

I use Jupyter Labs for almost everything. Then Emacs for anything else. I don’t like the default config at all, and I’m not that well versed in elisp, so I use Doom Emacs.

Everything on the planet eats everything else on the planet.

I believe that’s called the appeal to nature fallacy. Something happening in nature doesn’t mean it’s morally right. Lions often commit infanticide, but that obviously doesn’t make it okay for humans to do.

Most wouldn’t be alive anyway if they weren’t grown for food.

That would be much better than breeding billions of animals and putting them under the conditions we do, just because people like how they taste.

Those 100 people would still be eating 90% as many animals as they were before. People don’t need to eat animals to live, so expecting praise for eating 10% less is pretty funny.

It’d be like a criminal deciding to decrease the amount of crimes he commits by 10% and expecting people to encourage and praise him.

Vegans don’t eat animals for the sake of the animals, because they believe killing them unnecessarily is morally wrong.

Saying you’re only going to eat animals once a day is like saying you’re going to halve the amount of violent crimes you commit and expecting praise for it.

Someone who exclusively ate meat for some reason who moved to chicken would have a greater impact than someone who exclusively ate chicken and went vegan.

But that first person could have an even bigger environmental impact by becoming Vegan instead of only eating chicken.

If they just sit around and you don’t play them, I’d probably just sell them. Emulating is so much more convenient.

But who cares what I’d do? Your life is your own. If collecting retro games brings you joy, then go for it.

Firefox’s app puts me at “∞”. I think that’s what they put if you’re above 100.

I’ve hit the limit for what I can chuck into retirement funds so I’m not sure what I’ll do when the money number gets too big.

Invest into non retirement accounts. When you have 30x your yearly expenses invested, you can safely retire.
