Well I didn’t know about that before, so thank you for the information :)

Your system sounds a bit complex when compared to the German one. For comparison here in Germany we basically have 3 important documents:

• The ID card that you get as a citizen. You can use it inside the country for basically all govermental buisness or to travel freely in the EU/Schengen area.
• The more powerful (and expensive) passport that you usually only needed when travelling abroad
• Drivers license - that you can also get when you’re not a citizen

So if you’re an immigrant/not a citizen you basically can’t have an ID card or passport and get a temporary residence card instead.

Just FYI - outside of the US bubble - an identity card is standard in most countries.

That’s a Velaro

Not sure what this sentence means, but feel free to use pigeons instead.

Oh this stupid discussion that we have like every 3 years

Here some other memes from the last time this came up:

When you’re getting notifications/newsletters from legitimate platforms like e.g. Amazon or GitHub it’s smarter to unsubscribe from these specific mails. Otherwise you will be screwed when some important mail somehow ends up in the spam folder.

but I’m absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000

WTF are you doing with your e-mail address that you get these amounts of mails. These are more mails than I got in the last decade.

At first maybe try to unsubscribe whatever you subscribed and stop putting your address into random services. Use a temporary mail for stuff like that.

Also mail filters can help with sorting mails from certain senders into folders. Bascially every provider has them and if not programs like Thunderbird have these built in on the client side.

Most are those annoying notifications like “Your security code is xxx,” “Your parcel has shipped,” and requests to rate my experience.

Uhm simply delete them when you e.g. inputted the code or got your parcel? Or change the settings that you no longer get them?

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters…

Under your circumstances no provider in the world can do that, because nobody can determine if your “Your security code is xxx” mail is spam or legitimate… YOU have to determike that for yourself.

Uhm who buys gas stoves anymore in the first place? Electric stoves are cleaner, more efficient (e.g. induction cooking) and don’t cause random house explosions.

Is this an US only thing because gas is so cheap there?

I did basically the same a few months ago, works really well in combination with DDNS.

Just make sure to keep WireGuard up to date from time to time to get rid of any potential vulnerabilities :)

Welcome to TomsHardware, where we do 0 research in our “journalism”

Good morning TomsSlopware, maybe stop using Internet Explorer for your research.

This was already reported 2 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46394327

PSA: In the video (not the retarded posted article that has 0 proofreading) it’s stated that he used Windows XP 64 bit

At first: Stop posting Tomshardware! They just bulk repost ad-enriched low quality clickbait content without validating anything (cough 9700X3D). Just post the original video.

As the video creator said in it’s disclaimer, the test is probably not accurate:

• I’m having serious doubts about the test setup. The laptops are all on a carpet directly facing a wall. There is a 0% chance that this is using proper air circulation and this will likely effect heat dissipation.
• Some tests (e.g. Video editing, Battery life) are extremly hardware dependent and shouldn’t be used in a OS comparison.

Is this your board? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Fh-VTAf3U

You sound a lot like the Soviet Union after Chernobyl exploded and the first thing they did was publicly speculating how bad the reactors in other countries are.

PS: Your git is misconfigured and doesn’t line up with your GH account…

NPEs in Java usually have 2 causes and they are easily preventable:

1. Parsing or deserializing data that must be present but is not. Fix: Add a validator or (introduced in Java 17 - 4 years ago) use records and do simple null validation there
2. Devs coding weird shit that might or might not return null. Fix: Use annotations like NotNull/Nullable or the Optional wrapper (introduced in Java 8 - 11 years ago). There is also progress underway to be able to explicity declare type nullness, however - as always - Oracle invests more money into it’s lawyers instead of their devs, so it will take some time until this will be available.

The problem is not really language specific because quite the same can also happen in any programming language, the symptoms/errors are just different.
