tartan, to linux in what hardware should I buy for storage purposes? what brands?

WD/SanDisk have completely gone to shit. I’d go with Seagate. I have a bunch of IronWolf Pro drives that have been fast and reliable.

tartan, to world in Pope tells Italians they need to have more babies

Lol. Will the church spend even a tiny fraction of its wealth to help families? No? Didn’t think so. Get fucked🖕

tartan, to privacy in Thoughts on VPN providers?

They own some of their servers and rent others. From their FAQ:

All of our VPN servers are encrypted and are either owned by us or dedicated servers that we rent.

  • Our rented servers are all dedicated, meaning they are not shared with anyone else. We do not use virtual servers.
  • With the servers that we own, we have physical control over these, which means they tend to be faster and more secure.

When connecting, you can filter to only show owned servers.

Mullvad all the way

tartan, to fuck_cars in France: Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to massive investment and it's not stopping

Ones I’ve personally heard:

  • parking (either insuficient or too tight)
  • speed of service in restaurants
  • “why don’t they speak english?!”
  • accessibility for the disabled (this one is actually pretty fair, but it’s also very hard to fix)

Edit, PS: the lack of public toilets is also a fair complaint. It’s also a pretty common one, even in New York and London. Amsterdam comes to mind as a decent counter-example, at least for men. There are urinals strewn about most everywhere in the city.

It won’t. They’ll still visit in droves and complain about the parking.

tartan, to upliftingnews in Over 7,000 students see their lunch debts wiped after $1 million donation

Respectfully, but what the actual fuck are you talking about? I grew up in the shittiest of shitty SE-European countries, and we had daily lunch coupons that we could spend at any restaurant, cafe, grocery store etc. I never once went hungry at school, or went into debt. The very concept would absolutely abhor every European person I know.

Yes, we have our own problems. Tons of them. Some very serious. But the safety and basic human rights/needs of children is absolutely not one of them.

TIL that students’ lunch debt is a thing that exists 😳 In the words of Lauren Mayberry, “Americans are fucking weird”.
