Word of warning. Netbird does use maginally more data than Tailscale when idle. While you might be tempted by the Jetbird thirdparty app, I found it used ALOT more data and didn't work consistontly even with lazy connections.

I haven't had problems with NetBird on Android and Linux. I have also used tailscale and found it comparable.

Likely not the best approach:

I had ~200GiB. I selected below 10k files at a time to upload in the web UI (selected all 2014, then 2015). It was fine. More than that many and the UI became unusable.

External Libraries seem like a good option.

They have also recently improved the background import in the Android app so I have heard so that might be worth a try.

I'm not sure I agree or understand where you're coming from. Side-loaded Android apps are still bound by all the same permission restrictions as any app installed by the Play Store. The only difference is Google didn't review it (for what little good that does) and that I didn't get the app from Google.

If I side-load a camera app, it still has to ask for camera privileges the same way any Play store app does.

Is there something in your message I missed about how it relates to this article or is this just being uninformed about side-loading?

In my case it's because the title on this post is more interesting.

I've seen half a dozen Mac users and none of them maximized the window very often. They usually had a mishmash of like 12 windows open and randomly all over the screen. Then they used the Alt-Tab to get between them. Basically wherever it opened is where it stayed.

There is in the Purrr app if you install and open that.

I have had a great experience. I can find what I'm looking for and I can block or down-rank sites that are constantly shite. I did find that Google over the past few years has sucked but my Google results were always miles better than most peoples until a couple years ago.

It's interesting to hear that you can't find what you wanted easily on Kagi.

All those cases also have huge penalties or effective costs associated with them. Is there an accurate "shame first, then penalties came later" stand point?

Automobile safety in my life has only changed after fines. Sexual harrassment still happens and doesn't seem to be helped by shaming someone as much as firing them. Though we often don't have the guts or legal backing to publically shame someone.

Yes. I have started doing this with an Obsidian note for each project. Any ongoing lists go there, and each day has a heading with todos and thought process while solving the todos. Then in my main todo list or kanban I just link to the project with one sentence on where to resume the next day.

Buildkite also seems to have a free option but I have no concept of how the value compares to the free option for GitHub Actions.

Well, if the majority of candidates are applying to a job where they only meet four out of five of the requirements, if the employer can add a sixth requirement they may naively think then applicants will have five out of six requirements. Alternatively, if they receive too many applications, a solution is to be more specific so they receive fewer or they can filter out more earlier. Adding additional requirements is one way to do this, even if the requirements are not necessarily connected to a successful candidate (knowing how to write in languages that aren't used in the company, for example); some recruiters don't seem to know that some of those requirements are completely irrelevant to the position.

Plus by making that fee optionally replaced with time spent writing the letter, people who don't have the finances to pay a whole bunch of application fees can still apply for as many jobs as they're willing to put in the time.

They get too many supposedly unqualified applications.
