Pretty much this.

I was part of the piracy scene in the early 00’s, and it pretty much went like this:

• Be early. It gets people’s attention when you’re among the first to provide something fresh.
• Be prolific. It builds a brand when you have a lot of scene releases to your name.
• Provide quality. It causes people to prefer and redistribute your releases.

It’s from Everything Everwhere all at Once

That’s why I much prefer the alternate universe equivalent movie Racacoonie

Being loved isn’t what should drive you. Your love for something or someone should be.

External validation is always nice, but you should be able to function without it. If you don’t, then you have a truly uphill battle in front of you if being loved is your end goal.

Good Work summarized it better than I ever could: https://youtu.be/W0ltbBby9FU

I can count your ribs faster than I can look up government documentation, and even that’s assuming you’ve already been identified.

Yup, that’s my point. I don’t think a government (should) need this.

On that note, I learned from another commenter that in Germany you can have your gender deleted from their database.

I can think of a handful of ways of confirming someone’s biology without checking official documentation. After all, hospitals still check blood types and tissue types

Does it need to be tied to the legal system, though?

Yeah, that’s what I think some of the replies is missing: Whether or not it needs to be tied to the legal system. I can think of a decent amount of ways of confirming someone’s biology without checking their passport or drivers license.

As for rights and legal protection, I fail to think of a situation in a just society where the same rights and protections shouldn’t apply to both/all.

Optional extra, which I do: Change the SSH port to something non-standard. It’s not more secure, but it does cut down on the logspam.

Same. GoT always struck me as scripted misery porn

Highly niche requirements not serviced by available hardware without costing waaaay too much. For example, we’re currently using Cisco Meraki MX85, and even they’re not quite there.

1 sounds slightly NZ to me
2 sounds like non-english, trying to come off as English
3 sounds slightly Scottish

So my answer is one of these:

• South Africa, because the saffers I’ve met spoke wildly different dialects
• UK, because I don’t know all of the UK dialects, and person 1 and 2 can just be from an area I’m not familiar with

Just for the record, English is not my native language.

Right now I’m using a Fortigate 101E, but eons back I used a simple PC built as cheaply as possible, installed Linux, ip_forward = 1, and iptables.

I am, however, tempted to build something semi-professional based on a banana pi, as I need something custom for work.

Succession
Mulholland Drive
Kill Bill

The defense can call me as a character witness, and I will attest that she’s a good girl

Octarine

I am not ashamed to admit that I have their first album, and it’s a solid one with quite a few solid tracks on it. However, I always hated that song, which by far became the most popular one.

I don’t know much about their later stuff, though.

Not much has changed since this question was asked 11 days ago.
