This is really unacceptable folks. There are those of us that have to keep these sites up, and it's seriously been a few years of nightmare scrapers and botnets, and stupid things like this that you are trying to legitimize that will make this worse. If a site doesn't want you, you should go away. There's a reason for it. Not every website is backed by a billion/trillion dollar company with the resources to absorb things.

Happy pass user for ~8 years now, have ~1300 passwords stored. No issues whatsoever. Use git to sync it across devices, totally awesome.

Absolutely, ms365 too. Definitely a worthwhile tool, and if you have a big job or do it more than once a year you should purchase it.

Real-ID is such a farce. I have had an ID since I was 15, and presented my birth certificate and ssn as a minor to do so. There is no instance where I am not "real".

I have a US Passport that took less effort and paperwork to get than a Real-ID. I will never submit.

For what it's worth, we're trying to do a lot of our server upgrades with the Elevate scripting to Almalinux, but man can it be a pain. We have a 30% success rate in testing, and even when it goes right it tends to be 2-3 hours of downtime. The alternative though is to rebuild every server on spare hardware and manually migrate data and configurations over. So it's still a better option once we can figure it out. I'm hoping to get downtime <1hr and >90% success rate before we start really pushing through these by April.

Funny how it completely ignores the fact that covid sent everything to hell, and bureaucratic crap caused funding to not even be dispersed for over 2 years after passage. Of course programs that you judge based on an imaginary 3 year timeline will fail when they have only had maybe 8 months to do anything.

Ubuntu died for me when I upgraded to a new LTS and they replaced my deb firefox install with a snap version that used some non-standard mouse cursor.... Only in firefox. It apparently took them ~2 weeks to fix it, but in that time I rage-wiped by ubuntu install and switched to linux mint, which I also regret, but is snap free.

These arguments are always idiotic. You don't need a traumatic brain injury to know that hitting your head on the ground is a problem. Helmet laws are not in fact about cars. Even riding in the middle of nowhere on the dirt can lead to an injury. Most of the world is not a city.
