I have an old tractor, and the manuals for it were unavailable except for one company which scanned them, put their own cover on it, and demanded $20 for access to the PDF (over $60 for printed).

Rather than give them a dime, I located original copies of each and every book associated, purchased them (only around $25 each), scanned them myself, and uploaded my versions to Archive. Now my copies are the top result when you search the names of the manuals.

Fuck those guys.

I have one hen who is a cross of buff orpington, barred rock, and various random breeds. She is a pretty bird but that is a gorgeous one.

Ah, that's a problem. I use the Eternity client and while previews are compressed to oblivion while scrolling, I simply tap to view the full resolution.

Works, but I prefer a single image since I can more easily tap > share once and be done rather than repeating for multiple images.

There are some traps I'll consider a calculated risk.

I'm just going to leave this discovery here.

I currently (until I eventually get around to setting up a jump sever) use this exact setup. This is because CF tunnel is free, easy, and bypasses any ISP-level tomfoolery that blocks port forwarding, which the last being the most crucial to me.

I will eventually get around to setting up my own equivalent tunnel, however that's not free and not as easy as CF tunnel.

Several years ago I had raw milk on a farm and it tasted incredible. I imagine that has more to do with the fact that that it gone from cow to mouth in about 30 second than with pasturization, right?

For clarity, that message appears on all system apps which can be disabled. Even apps like the calculator will show it.

The reason system apps can only be disabled and not uninstalled is because they're shipped as part of the OS. Unless you're rooted, the OS is read-only, making traditional uninstallation (deleting the app data) impossible. What disabling does is effectively just tell the phone to ignore that the app exists and to just not load it.

Also keep in mind that if you do as root uninstall a system app, it often comes back on any system update because many updaters work by simply redownloading a fresh, full OS image.

Arch, because I use niche software and the AUR doesn't always get along with Manjaro very well (ungoogled-chromium-bin is the worst offender). Switched to arch, configured it identically to my manjaro install, and all has been well.
