The hospital administrators are starting a meeting and "you need to leave"
  • For context it's a palliative care facility. Everyone in the family room is there visiting patients being treated for chronic pain, mostly terminal.

    I'd guestimate bout a third of the hospital is the administrative wing.

    And seeing the way the staff are treated the admin can go suck the big one.

  • The trick is to have the things obstruct the door, so you're forced to become consciously aware of them as you leave. Nothing short of that (or a spreadsheet for packing if you're going overnight) works for me.

    To whomever made Dolphin's "Extract here, autodetect subfolder" feature - I love you
  • It's one of the very few things I miss from Windows - the 7zip shell extension had the same feature, but literally put the autodetected folder name in the menu so you knew what it would be before even clicking. Such a small thing but so significant a UX boost.

    Billing-wise Mullvad bills in Euro and IVPN in USD. IVPN standard (2 devices) is priced about the same as Mullvad (5 devices), or IVPN pro is about another third higher-priced but has a 7-device limit. See IVPN pricing, Mullvad pricing. Mullvad is most likely the best bang for your buck of the two.

  • Sorry for the late reply.

    Per @rambos@lemm.ee it depends at least to some degree on your needs. Mullvad is a popular and well-respected option (though it is the very provider rambos is alluding to because they recently removed the port forwarding feature because there was no way to implement it without negatively impacting privacy - a positive thing for privacy, but a negative thing for those who need the feature). I'm also a fan of IVPN because they open source all of their very high-quality clients (as do Mullvad) and they cater to a more technical audience. Proton has been getting some decent press recently for open sourcing their clients, but there's a rumor going around that they're actually reselling NordVPN which is one of the less reputable providers.

    Happy to provide more points of interest with more context on your needs.

  • Short answer by making a few assumptions: Don't patronize PIA unless you can't or don't want to pay for better, and the built in torrent client is fine if you're happy with it, but qBittorrent would be a good match with your desktop environment if you want to try something else.

    Happy to answer questions in like 10h when i'm awake again lol

    Edit: For context, some of the other cast used to call her that because she often fawned over male guest stars. Not intended as an insult.

  • ZigBee is low-power radio (think Bluetooth but simpler), so there's no Internet involved at all unless you connect it to an Internet-based device, and there you have many choices including open source or home-grown solutions.
