It's a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. ๐

For some reason I remember a lot of ANSI terminal escape codes. They were used all the time on DOS machines, and work in a similar way on Unix terminals.
Maybe not. It depends.
First, there is a long list of countries where you can deduct a lot of money from your salary if you pay tax in the other country. I think it's like $90 thousand dollars now? So if you make less than that you don't pay US taxes on top of your taxes where you are living.
Second, for basically the same list of countries you can deduct your taxes paid there from your US taxes.
The upshot is this only impacts countries the US empire doesn't deem worthy (I don't know which, sorry), or people who make a lot of money in low tax countries. I am told that both Switzerland and Japan fit that description.
So if you make $150k in Saudi Arabia then you'll end up paying US tax on most of that I think. ๐
The US system of taxing their citizens abroad is unfair, but people living abroad vote in the last place they lived in the US, so they don't have enough concentration of votes to matter. No politician is going to care if 0.02% of their constituents whine about unfair taxes when they have doners at home to appease.
I have met a lot of Finns and they are all pretty great. All a bit mad, but kind and fun.
Plus they don't mind when I make fun of their insane language. ๐
I mean, the right wing efforts worked. Trump has objectively done way worse things than Nixon while he was President, but is very likely going to be elected again.
i2p is a bit like Tor. Both are overlay networks, meaning that they use the "normal" Internet as their lowest layer. They use similar method of obfuscation using multiple hops.
i2p doesn't rely on special nodes, I think, which Tor does. i2p also does not connect to the "normal" Internet (basically).
Like with Tor there is no need for a VPN (or rather, little need for a VPN... probably both i2p and Tor are safer than any VPN, but nothing is 100% safe, so some people use double VPN, or Tor over a VPN).
Tor is not designed for torrenting. It assumes TCP connections - mostly for web stuff - and doesn't handle torrent well. They also don't want you bogging down the system with your filthy porn. ๐
i2p solves this by forcing you to send data for other users in order to download anything. This helps make your traffic harder to track and helps the overall network. It also means that downloads are slow. Very slow. Like, basically start your download and come back in a day or two. Not a problem if you have four or five downloads in progress, but it makes spontaneous watching impossible.
Anyway, I'm hardly an expert but this is my understanding!
According to this page there is no quarantine in Finland, you just have to wait a specified time after vaccinating your cats:
I've only been to Helsinki, and only in the summer. It was lovely but I couldn't really say if it makes sense to live there. My wife's best friend is Finnish and is a bit mad, like every other Finn that I've ever met. So... good luck!
Dutch does that but there are limits. Four, five, six words smashed together?! Doe normaal! Germans... always going a bit too far.... ๐
I'm curious why you think Python is unsuitable. Both of my kids picked up Python pretty easily.
If a serial killer runs into a school you don't bomb the school. Well, I wouldn't consider it justified, but apparently Israelis do.
People tend to hire people that they like. You don't really know who is best for a job unless you've hired multiple people and they have been working for a while.
Having employees who happen to have the same background as hiring managers is not the same as having the best employees, but that's what we have.
If you'd had DEI training you'd know this. ๐
Paying with card is convenient. If the amount is below an amount the card holder sets then you don't even need a pin. It's about the same time as each party counting money and so on.
