Conservatives love to say free market works, shop for best price, blah blah..... When you are having a heart attack, you don't stop 911 from sending help until you shop around for the best ambulance service..... You take the closest one, go to the closest hospital, and get service from the doctor on call.
Fuck insurance, we should have Medicare for all by now.
I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.
I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.
I run Minecraft server
I run home automation server
I run a media server.
Proxmox backs everything up on schedule
All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I'm all set.
It's really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple
They are just delaying the vote for another time... Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won't be a huge backlash of discontent.
If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.
Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.
In 6 months Congress just renames it the "I love kittens" act and sticks it on a must pass bill.
Ooooo. Can't wait till a hurricane is coming and they raise the price of water and canned food.
I wonder how much price gouging will be permitted. If they can raise the price of water when it's hot then could they raise it "just enough" to not get in trouble with the state when a hurricane is coming
They make you buy the machine... The data is collected for doctor review, but instead of letting me use the open FOSS reporting, it's encrypted so that I can't see my own data.
After that experience I'm certain sleep apnea machines are a huge insurance racket. 45 dollars for a replacement plastic tube.....lol
For example, my sleep apnea machine had a wifi for home and a LTE modem. Data gathered by the machine was sent off-site...no reports available on the host. Privacy policy read it would gather info, run diagnostics on itself and the local network without explanation of what it was doing.
My sleep data could not be viewed by me, only through the 3rd party, so I ripped out the wifi board and LTE chip. I haul the machine into my doctor office so he can cycle through data on the tiny display.
He hates it, but I remind him he picked the machine without asking me if I agreed to to the data collection.
Plug and pray
