It’s your IPv6. If you change to IPv4-only they do not ban. You can check with ip addr if it shows v6 addresses. You then can disable them by various means. Had to do the same to reeable freetube and yt-dlp.

My Linux doesn’t expire for now over 10 years. What’s your sales pitch exactly?

Care to explain?

Thanks for stereotyping. I have and am still paying rent for all my life and the rest of it.

“Should” is meant here for a better/good way do do things. If it is not possible, a “should” just is not applyable, it is a “should” after all.

Maybe this is a language/cultural/mental perspective misunderstanding.

Yes. Because we live in a setting of specialists.

I am no specialist at efficiently growing healthy food. So if I try it, it will be objectively worse than if someone else more proficient does it for me. And if that one is worse in doing something I am better in, we both are off worse and everything overall.

So if we both would do things we are good at, the resulting products/services would be better, the processes would be more efficient (time, ressources, waste), which in return benefits all participants and the environment at the same time.

Actually that is so efficient, it is possible to pay for the store’s rent, the wage of the people transporting, managing and selling that stuff to me. If I ineffectively grow my own food, all these are out of their jobs or have to (badly) grow their food at home, which they cannot afford anymore and they even do not have the necessary space for a field to do so.

What? How can my comment possibly be voted down?

You should shop by ingrediends and ecological reasons. That’s sadly not represented by $/g.

The heavier product with the better “bang for the buck” is usually the one with the poorest quality and lots of sugar/additives/flavours/etc.

Discounter products like “Great Value” can easily have a better quality than stuff produced by “Kraft” and other Unilever/Nestle/etc. products.

Checking the ingredients list and the nutrition table should be a natural first instinct when grabbing something off the shelf.

you could add another layer of swap in between ram and disk by using zram. as it compresses swap in ram with a very fast compressing algorithm it effectively expands the ram size

btop makes the dedicated gpu turn on, wasting energy and disrupting its power saving. yes, this can not be disabled in btop, so it happily shows no load on the gpu. gee, thanks.

Ubuntu was once an okay-ish distribution, many many years ago. Then Canonical got rogue, made some very sketchy and irritating decisions (walled garden, snap, advertisements with Amazon, now advertisements in their package manager, … so much more)

Ubuntu is the bane of Linux. Use upstream Debian if you like apt; Linux Mint for an easy entry; Arch, if you’re quick of wits and want to widen your knowledge and skillset.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Looks like my response was not very comprehensible, sorry about that.

I did not recommend to block the trailer for them but to have the suggestion of using blocks in front of the wheels to be enough in the conversation about that trailer being in danger of rolling away.

I’m not sure I understand that

Why wouldn’t you? I suppose they would be thankful because you show considerations about their stuff and wellbeing. Some wooden blocks in front of the weels should probably be enough.

I take offense they are called “alcohol FREE”. That’s just false advertisement, whatever is in the fineprint.

Read the comments in this post. They are worded like “yeah, I like to have a beer sometimes, but without alcohol, so I chose an “alkoholfrei” beer”. When they, in fact, are drinking an alcoholic brewage, still.

“alcohol free” is not free of alcohol but can contain up to 0.5% alcohol.

This could be fatal for people having had an alcohol addition because that sets them right back into the circle of drug abuse.

Check, check, check, check. Wow.

i use arch btw

Once in a while I check the installed packages for a possible dependency on GTK and when I find a program which has one, I look for an alternative to have one dependency less.

The last time I replaced simple-scan with skanlite and it is a much much better scanning program and with a more pleasant ui on top.
