Six? That sounds excessive, even compared to some of Germany‘s complicated recycling systems.

Metal, glass, paper, plastic, compost and other?

I think I set that up back when Let's Encrypt didn't offer wildcard certificates. In the end, it serves pretty much the same purpose.

Read the other comments in this thread. "female" as an adjective is fine, "female" as a noun is often abused by misogynists to imply women are less human than men.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't judge someone who doesn't know better. I'm not a native speaker myself. I just wanted to clarify as good as I can because it seems like OP wants to make an honest effort to use it correctly.

I don't think the question was about misgendering people but about using "female" instead of "woman".

I feel like a lot of answers here are dancing around why people find it offensive without really addressing it.

As an adjective "female" is completely fine to distinguish between genders when applied to humans. As in "a female athlete" or when a form asks you to select "male" or "female" (ideally with additional options "diverse" and "prefer not to answer").

Where it's problematic is when it's used as a noun. In English "a male" and "a female" is almost exclusively reserved for animals. For humans we have "a man" and "a woman". Calling a person "a female" is often considered offensive because it carries the implication of women being either animals, property or at least so extremely different from the speaker that they don't consider them equal. This impression is reinforced by the fact that the trend of calling women "females" is popular with self-proclaimed "nice guys" who blame women for not wanting to date them when in reality it's their own behavior (for example calling women "females") that drives potential partners away.

So in itself, the word "female" is just as valid as "male" and in some contexts definitely the right word to use but the way it has been used gives it a certain negative connotation.

You know what's even better? You can point traefik to your own ACME-compatible CA (I use step-ca) to get certs for LAN-only services. And you can even configure per service which one it should use.

CrossCode! A modern topdown action RPG with gorgeous pixel art, great music and Zelda-like puzzles in dungeons. The full version is available for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch and there is a demo that you can play in your browser.

Disclaimer: I'm friends with some of the devs but I would still recommend it if I wasn't.

Basically it means that they can handle lots of cases at the same time while still giving each one as much attention as it needs. Winning or losing a difficult case can often be decided by how much time and expertise you can put into it. When you have a lot to lose, would you rather have a team of lawyers, each specializing in a different aspect that’s relevant to the case or a single lawyer who is overworked because he‘ll have to prepare a different case after lunch?

Edit: typo

Look into the Framework 13. There are no touchpad buttons but otherwise it has everything you need and is fully upgradable and customizable. The laptop has four expansion ports that can hold a variety of hotpluggable expansion cards. The manufacturer offers USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, 2.5G ethernet, microSD, audio and SSDs. There are also some community-made ones like LTE and dual USB-C.

This sounds a lot like what Stack Overflow does. And you know what people think about that community. It’s elitist and hostile towards newcomers and anyone who doesn’t know the convoluted rules for how to build their reputation.

If I want to interact with a community to ask a question or comment on something I found interesting but can’t because of rules that were made explicitly to keep newcomers from posting, I won’t stay and gain reputation. I leave.

Well, what do you expect it to do?

Well, I wouldn’t be concerned about someone saying they want to rest once they’ve lived 80 years. Wanting to rest right now would be more alarming.

Okay, entirely different interpretation than mine. I read it as content with what they have, not indifferent but you may be right.

Well, life is the same everywhere because you are the same. I'm glad that you have found a routine that fits you and makes you happy.

But someone else may be entirely different. They would find the way you lead your life utterly unbearable. Some may merely object to individual elements of your routine while others can't imagine having a routine at all. There are people who need a lot of variety in their lives and doing the same thing for more than a few weeks - maybe even just days - would drive them absolutely crazy.

You are happy to do what you are doing for 80 years and then cease existing and that's totally fine. Someone else might chase entirely different goals. They want to see the world, meet as many people as they can, learn a dozen languages and try a different job every year or no job at all. For them, 80 years may not be enough.

Life isn't basic. It's incredibly diverse and exciting and chaotic. But once a person finds what they need among all this chaos, things fall into place and it starts feeling "basic" in a good way for them. And again, I'm happy that you found that for yourself. I haven't. But I'm getting there.

I have a portable switch dock (it's the size of a small power brick) and the cable that came with it broke. Finding a cable that supports the exact spec that the Switch needs to both get enough power to put it into docked mode and transmit the video signal took a few tries.

Not sure whose fault it is but the ports on the AMD-based framework laptops are a mess. The framework 16 has four different specs across its six USB-C port and the framework 13 has three different specs across four ports. Meanwhile their intel-based laptops have four identical ports with USB4, USB-PD and Display Port.

There areways to get around this. Give every indexing job to multiple nodes, decide the result by majority vote between those nodes and penalize (i.e. exclude) nodes that repeatedly produce results that don’t match the majority. Basically what distributed research has done for decades.

Getting the details of such a system right wouldn’t be easy but far from impossible.

Oh yeah right, I totally forgot 3.x.

Well, ackshually akshually - drink German beer. With very few exceptions, it's only allowed to contain barley, hops, yeast and water. That law has existed in some form for over 500 years.
