No bother!

For customization, you want a MUD client rather than a standard telnet client. I used zMUD back in the day, but FLOSS was harder to come by back then. These days, I’d go with mudlet.

I never really paid attention to the level gain ratio. I’d look here for that kind of question.

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

But it would not work on older non-GNU versions of tar.

GNU introduced the “–foo” style long options, and it was a long time before Unix versions began adopting them.

Not tipping only punishes the victim, not the employer.

Not everyone that disagrees with a law is in a position to immediately change it.

Because it’s a shit job with minimal pay, physically demanding, and the hours are usually cut in the off-season.

That wasn’t luck - it was best practice backup strategy.

Tell me you’re bi without telling me you’re bi

IT has a level of access to systems that makes management nervous. The fear is that an IT person in financial trouble could use that to embezzle, or be pressured to sell access to a malicious third party.

Common in IT roles as well.

This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.

At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it’ll just be GNU/systemd

It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt just to prefer snaps now.

FTFY

Only reason it wouldn’t work is Canonical killing the .deb package. That was an unforced error. So no, still not a good idea.

The way this works in the server world is “95th percentile” billing. They track your bandwidth usage over the course of the month (probably in 5 minute intervals), strike off the 5% highest peaks, and your bill for the month is based on the highest usage remaining.

That’s considerably more honest than charging you based solely on the highest usage you could theoretically use at any time point in a 24 hour period (which is how ISPs define the “max bandwidth”) and then charging you again or cutting off your service if you use more than a certain amount they won’t even put in writing.

Depends who you need privacy from. I recall Stallman’s advice about VPNs - that to avoid having your information turned over you should choose a VPN from a country whose government is no friend of your government. Depending on your threat model, I could see this being the same principle

Probably not. It looks like it’s setting the fake address before reading the tunnel parameters, where the real address is stored. Probably a kludge in case the connection address is undefined so the program doesn’t crash. So check whether the address is included there.

Also check the function that establishes the connection. 10.1.1.1 is not a public subnet, so unless there is a VPN device listening at the local address, the tunnel should fail to establish and throw an error, triggering the exception clause in that code. Again, you’ll want to confirm that in the code.
