Atheist here. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Atheism is merely about trusting what's been proven, or has some evidence backing the claim that can be verified without doubt. Being agnostic is being indecisive about everything, even things that are completely made up.

You shouldn't be charged for unauthorized requests to your buckets. Currently if you know any person's bucket name, which is easily discoverable if you know what you're doing, that means you can maliciously rack up their bill just to hurt them financially by spamming it with anonymous requests.

The good thing about getting one from the start is that you can set it up to your liking from the get-go and won't have to do it later. You'll also get used to using it daily and see how managing two devices works for you.

Yeah this is what I use to create and manage a work profile on my device to keep my personal and work data/apps separate.

You could sandbox it into a work profile that doesn't have access to your main profile. Storage is completely segregated, and the work profile can be easily disabled when you're not using it.

The best solution is obviously to choose another platform and convince your girlfriend to use that, explaining how this little extra effort on her part to use another app goes a long way with you in terms of appreciation and understanding of a partner's boundaries and comfort zone.

It's possible to manually find communities on a given instance instead of using an indexer. I'm guessing that's how most people found it.

I know it's been around for a long time, but I just heard about Real Debrid. My current setup is Wasabi + Rclone + Jellyfin, plus all the *arr services. What's the benefit of Real Debrid over this setup, aside from cached torrents?

What a sorry state Canada is in when people are hired out of desperation without proper vetting to ensure they are suited to their jobs, even if there is a nurse shortage.

EDIT: Ah thought I was in a Canada community, my mistake. But I guess there are worldwide problems in healthcare these days.

How do people like this even make it far enough to get this type of job?

Whoever thought it was good at coding? That's not what it's designed for. It might get lucky and spit out somewhat functional code sometimes based on the prompt, but it never constructed any of that itself. Not truly. It's conceptually Googling what it thinks it needs, copying and pasting together an answer that seems like it might be right, and going "Here, I made this". It might be functional, it might be pure garbage. It's a gamble.

You're better off just writing your own code from the beginning. It's likely going to be more efficient anyways, and you'll properly understand what it does.

The only way to guarantee you can see exactly what you want, without being at the mercy of anyone else, is to run your own instance.

Conduit is a great Matrix home server. So quick and easy to get up and running with very little fiddling around. It's a no-brainer to deploy.
