When you pick up, you verify to them that the number is active.

When it rings they already know it’s an active number. The level of activity to be defined, but an active number.

Answer the phone, wait 3 sec. then put it on mute. Now lay it down and ignore it. Never had one that tried more than twice.

their calls are not free. not expensive but not for free.

Then you probably are on the star wars side ;)

( it’s from a scene where he was tortured and they tried to break him. He only had say seeing 5 lights while there are only 4 )

so we are doing it the same way ;) I only have tree mailboxes. My mailbox, Another for my system alerts, and one big cach-all box

No! For mail I subscribe / register to because I want to, it’s often <company-name>@mydomain.tld. So I can identify quickly who it comes from, create rules, and see who sold/gave away my email.

For crap that just demands email, I use a 10 minute mail account. If that does not work, crap goes to crap : hotmail of gmail.

In your case, i’d buy a second domain to separate work and private. I don’t run a business but some money goes around in my hobby (way way below tax thresholds) and that’s how I have it…

I really thought I opened the “not the onion” community

They are missing the part where everyone pays to give them these things too.

a thing trump hasn’t : decency (but even that only goes so far)

he just might have started a path where it becomes normal for real leaders to openly laugh at trump

spoken as a true narcissist … always anyone’s to blame but him.

Morally Wrong

Starting to think that’s why he does it, for it’s the common factor in everything he does

And yet … there still are people proud of having their backups in the cloud.

Maybe ‘smart’ isn’t that smart after all /s

Russia started it, Russia can end it. It’s just Putin’s fragile ego that’s preventing the war ending and a retreat from Ukraine (Crimea included)

Run your ai in sandbox, and don’t give it git access.

Enough break-in reports of AI these days … I would not rely on a sandbox. Air-gapped.

Also

Good thing you added that. I’m so old-school/paranoid that I must have ownership of and physical access to the backup media to be able to count them as a backup.

That’s the new normal.

Maybe for some but then i’m happy to be old-school. I can live with the fact not everyone can/wants to follow the 3-2-1 strategy but expect no sympathy if you have no backup’s at all

If you don’t include .git/ in your backup you simply have no backup.

The .git folder is the heart of a Git repository. It is the hidden directory that Git uses to store all the information necessary for managing your project’s version control history. This folder is where Git keeps track of all the changes made to your files, allowing you to revert to previous versions, collaborate with others, and maintain a complete history of your project.

That’s on you then. Restore from backup and accept having lost a day’s work.
