Sounds horrible!

A parent can sign a paper voiding the rights for their child?

Parents can sign a contract with a school which allows staff to physically assault their kids.

How can this be legal, even with a paper with a name on it?

I had a Raspberry Pi once and wanted to move file from the current folder to some other folder. I typed mv /* /path/to/folder/ and move everything in the root directory and down to this other folder.

EDIT: Meant to say that snapshots are cheap backups. I ended up reinstalled the OS.

Correct would have been dot slash: mv ./* /path/to/folder/

Which software do you use for backups?

Install Virtualbox (or some software to handle virtual machines).
Install Debian (or some other OS of your choice, I won't judge if you prefer Windows).
Update your OS (apt update && apt upgrade -y on Debian).
Take a snapshot of your VM's current state after updating. Saves a lot of time if you mess up or want a clean slate.

Now you decide on what you want. Do you want to install n8n or Node-RED for automation? Do you want to use Immich for pictures? Paperless to save papers in a digital format? Audiobookshelf to listen on your books or podcasts? Jellyfin to stream your media? Set up a Minecraft or Factorio server?

Once you have decided on what you want to do, try to do it in your virtual machine.
Once you understand how to set it up and configure it to your liking, decide on how you want to host it. I took an office computer, added a few HDDs and replaced the case with a bigger one and it's now my home server, but any old laptop will do. Just make sure to take backups.

I used to have a Dell R710 and a virtual machine for each service I hosted, but I have moved to docker because it as simple as taking the often provided compose file, tweaking it a bit (where to store data etc) and running it with docker compose up -d.

Why does it have a picture of flour when it tells me to use floor?

European centralism of the Nobel prices that I don’t really want to rant about

I'm curious. Nobel Foundation is private, so what can anyone do about it?

Okey, so I got curious how they rendered all those people so fast. Turns out they use background-image: url("url-goes-here") and set the width and height to (I assume) make it at the correct amount.

I asked my mother the same when I was a kid (why did you not become a boss), and she said she did not want to. Once I started working, I understood and agree 100%.

Hey, that was a good list. More people should join unions.

The issue seems to be with free VPNs.

Instead, the authors recommend using paid VPNs, which are generally considered to be more reliable and secure. For example, no serious privacy or security issues were found with Lantern, Psiphon, ProtonVPN or Mullvad.

maybe I’m in the echo chamber

I always try to have that in mind when I talk to my SO. I usually say "I've read X and lemmy but lemmy is VERY left bla bla". Not to invalidate what I read here, but to be mindful of my sources.
