• I don't think there is any email provider more secure (as in hard to hack) than Google. However, I am also somewhat wary of Google knowing too much about me, so I ended up using both Protonmail and Tutanota. Given this story, it seems that something indeed may be fishy about PM (not to mention other interesting tidbits…

• @Abdullah: Thank you for testing the same machine with different operating systems! m_ _m I'm assuming you didn't tweak any of these and were just running YABS on a fresh install? Any thoughts on why Ubuntu might be having ~30% lower IOPS than Alma or Rocky with block sizes other than 4k? In my amateur eyes, one would…

• I'm not sure what you're trying to say here? I was arguing that the assumption of energy prices rising due to green energy adoption doesn't seem to be true, not that everyone should immediately use it, and only it (which is what you seem to be implying here)... But, since we seem to have agreed by now that, similarly to…

• Thank you for answering! (Although the crux of green being expensive still remains a mystery to me ;) ) Just because it's new (BTW, is it? B) E.g. hydro seems much older than thermal, not to mention nuclear...), doesn't mean it's more expensive - see the data I linked to above - according to various reports, green energy…

• ??? Could you clarify please - how is this happening in your opinion: green energy promotion -> energy price increases? Most recent data suggests that green energy is the cheapest newest energy source - whereas continued usage of existing nuclear is deemed to be the cheapest one overall - so unless by 'green energy…

• Four things: * First of all, could you please post the name of the provider? Or at least the server location (ideally, the city, not just the jurisdiction) so that we could exclude at least some of the usual suspects..;) * " I have never had any outage with them of any kind. " - sorry if I sound too skeptical, but, are you…

• Good question! It seems that some are indeed supported (albeit unofficially, and sadly, without accelerated graphics): https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/build The same organization has a Debian repo too, but I'm guessing it's the same as far as GPU support goes: https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/debian-cdimage Older…

• What's wrong with Ubuntu, or is that not mainline enough? ;) (using it on Oracle Cloud without any problems)
