This is a good thing if you love non-fascist governments. The rule itself is something to support, but it was created in the way of fascism and so needed to be struck down on that basis.

The task now is to rebuild the rule in the correct way.

The bigger point about cloud that most miss is make sure you are paying them a reasonably price for the service. So long as you are the customer and not the product the cloud can be good.

That has not been my experience. There is always more work to do than I have time. However it doesn't pile up because lower priority work just doesn't get done.

First question: what will you do about data backup? Nextcloud and Immich both imply important data that you don't want to lose. You say you have some harddrives, so look for some computer that can take more than one harddrive and then setup RAID with snapshots. I'd go for a RAID setup such that you need two drives to fail before you lose data, but there are plenty of debate. We often say RAID is not a backup - you should start thinking about the next step in your backup setup soon.

Used vs new is always the question. In general the newer the system the less power it will use to do the same work. However ARM will almost always use less power than x86 even if the x86 is much newer. I specified work here, your computer will nothing most of the time so idle power matters too.

People don't cross tracks for fun. They cross when there is something on the other side. Thus good city design (look up desire paths!) will ensure the places people really want to cross are safe and they can leave everything else alone. The picture is too small to get a clear picture of what all is around the track, but I see no indication there is any reason for anyone to cross in this area.

Nobody who has been following data (including satellite pictures) has said anything for a while that I can find. I assume government spies have good information but they are not talking.

About a year ago the predictions were late this year, or early next year. At the time Ukraine was typically getting about 60 artillery per day, for the last several months it has been around half that most days. Is this because Russia is better at protecting artillery and so it will last longer, or because they are seeing the end is near and so not using as much - I have no way to know.

If anyone knows of a source of information that is reasonably accurate who is talking let me know. I don't follow many such sources, but generally the sources I do follow will report when others share useful data.

In the cases where I've been asked to do things like this it was instead of my regular work, not on top of it. US labor laws are tricky, but in general they need to assign you an amount of work that can be done in a reasonable amount of time. (contact a lawyer for details)

Various reports have stated that because of the way Russia does meat assaults it is more like 990 dead and 110 wounded. There is of course no way to know for sure (at least not public information, who knows what classifed data shows).

There are also an unknown number of POWs and surrenders that are not in the 1100 number.

I can think of few things teens do more embarrassing than making someone else change your dirty diapers.

I'm one of the lucky few who have a pension. I do not have enough savings to last until the pension kicks in, and in any case the pension is less than my current income, but I could live off my pension and social security alone.

They make that impossible. they track surveys of how much ai helps - but the lowest grade possible is 0-5% improvement. No way to mark that it cost me time vs writting code by hand. If you can't measure it you can't improve it - and they are not allowing measures
