Well, you couldn’t pay me to be in the USA

You are commenting through a service that neither forces you to sell your data or pay a subscription fee and yet you don’t recognise that option? :)

The best solution in that situation is to have a work phone and a personal phone. If your own private phone cannot install the work apps then it’s up to your employer to ensure you have the tools you need for your work.
From an IT Security perspective that is what your employer should want too as that allows them to confiscate the phone if letting you go.

Test with a fedora 42 live usb to verify it isn’t bazzite I’d say

No personal knowledge of them but a couple would be sabre/dav and radicale:

• https://github.com/sabre-io/dav

• https://sabre.io/

• https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale

• https://radicale.org/v3.html

edit: and for Android phones the DAVx⁵ is a great caldav and carddav client

Correct, you need to keep a pristine copy in your torrent folder and make a copy elsewhere.

How does that differ from Bitwarden?

On the other hand, using bitwarden might require some level of trust. How much should I trust the company to use the free service?
How do I know if my passwords would be safe, not being exposed to the wide net?

Wouldn’t these questions be as true of the VPS service that hosts Vaultwarden as of Bitwarden?
If my internet at home was better I would be selfhosting Vaultwarden and use a full vpn on my laptop/phone/tablet when leaving the house.
Now I’m using KeepassXC with my home pc as the true source and syncing copies of the database to my laptop and phone.

Seems some tweaking helps the game run smoother

I went for an AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT when I built my machine and I dearly regret not aiming for 16GB memory on my GPU. Even when playing at 1080p I’ve had games fill my GPU memory and then crawl to a halt for a short while until enough memory has been freed.
AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is supposed to be released in the middle of May and will come in both 8GB and 16GB flavours. I’d aim for the one with 16GB even if the estimated price point is $330-$380 according to the sites I’ve checked.

I would recommend trying out Cockpit (Github) and Portainer (Github).
Cockpit gives you a WebUI for Linux and Portainer gives you a WebUI for Docker.
Personally I usually run Debian Stable for servers, but choice of distro matters little if you run stuff as Docker containers.

Depends on what parts of banished caught you. The mod lets you build much more visually pleasing cities by adding lots of different housing styles and so on. It also add many more production chains. Was many years since I played it and I think it was an earlier version of it.

Seems to still be up on the workshop too:

Switching to management then, have you played Banished?
Have you played the mod Colonial Charter? Latest version is 1.76 and I found a GDrive download here:

Mod makers site seems down.

You desperately need to add a Summary and split the text into paragraphs with some Headers
(or if that’s too much work go for a short tl;dr in the bottom or top.)

It only changes it so that you get your +5 choices if you have even one skill up in the category.
Without it the best way to play is to choose your main skills as Minor Skills and skills that are easy to avoid leveling up (and preferably easy to level up when you want to) as Major Skills to always get 3x +5 every level up.
With it you can let your character have major skills that you actively use during gameplay without gimping yourself.

Original is on GOG for 1/10th of the price too, tons of great mods to improve both graphics and gameplay.

A must have for me is the All Plus 5 mod so I don’t feel forced to power game my starting skills.

A classic one would be to go for BG1 and BG2
Then either play the enhanced editions with EET or play the originals with Baldur’s Gate Trilogy to allow you to play all three games as a singular campaign (as well as running BG1 in the same engine as BG2 if you go for the originals)

Options if it’s to protect against local disasters such as fire:

1. Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
2. Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
3. Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own “cloud”, definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.

Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they’d enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn’t in the hands of Amazon. I’d go for option 1 if my internet was better.

Before spending too much time troubleshooting Linux Mint I would try something that’s a bit further along with the kernel updates considering your gpu.
Personally I’ve had good luck with Fedora KDE - https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde

If you still wanna go for Linux Mint look into how to install the mainline kernel yourself:
