Are you sure? I thought that what you describe is what packages suck as NikGapps did, while MicroG is a reimplementation of the code. It does call Google webservers, but it doesn’t run Google’s blobs (which is also why it’s severely limited/fragile compared to packages that run them)

Are you running the container in rootless mode (perhaps via Podman)?

Rootless containers run on an emulated network stack (slirp4netns for podman, not sure about rootless docker), since the runtime doesn’t have the privilege to touch the real one - which is the point of running rootless.

This emulation uses a decent amount of memory and torrent clients in particular open a lot of connections. My slirp4netns process eats up several gigabytes whenever the torrent container is active.

Wonder what it would take for KDE to become the default Fedora DE.

Spotube.

Note that it’s not really a Spotify streaming app, rather it uses your (free) Spotify account for playlists, search, recommendations, etc. and then goes and find the song you want to play on YouTube, and the lyrics from scraping websites I think. Pretty clever.

Afterlife in 40k is poorly understood, both in and out of the universe. The few guys who are special enough to resurrect, one way or another, don’t seem to report a universally applicable experience.

We are given to understand that human souls eventually fade and merge into the warp, whether under the auspices of Emps or of other warp powers. But we don’t really know how long that takes (time is meaningless in the warp) nor what the process feels like. We can make an educated guess that it’s horrifyingly painful, based on the fact that if a living human enters the warp without a Geller field they meet a horrifyingly painful end. But it’s only really a guess.

However, there’s no need to wait for the afterlife to see Chaos worshippers pay a price. It’s never “yeah I’m exactly the same person as before, only stronger / smarter / tougher / sexier”. You’ll handily defeat your enemies thanks to Khorne, then slaughter your family in a fit of rage. Your visions will let you achieve your greatest ambitions, and will also never let you have a moment of rest. You’ll stop feeling pain, and you’ll eventually stop feeling joy or love too. You’ll feel pleasure greater than ever before, and you’ll have to look for ever more extreme pleasure to get the same kick again.

All of those “side effects” (but they’re really main effects) will lead you to double down and ask for ever stronger boons to deal with them. Make me a mindless berserk so I forget about the loved ones I killed. Give me ten brains so I can follow all those maddening clues at once. Put me in a hole to rot so I don’t see what I am missing. Make me feel pleasure from pain so I can tap into another source of sensation.

Rinse and repeat, until you either meet a grisly end to the laughter of the thirsting gods, or you become the one in a billion that ascends to daemon prince i.e. stops being human altogether and turns into a living concept.

Incidentally, this is why Abaddon is such a big deal. While we don’t know exactly how (ask ADB to get back to writing Black Legion books), he’s found a way to play the four gods against each other, so that he gets a bunch of boons from them, while they block each other from taking control over him. He’s much less powerful than he would be if he gave in and started to worship the gods, but he’s still himself.

Email blocklists are based on spam and malware.

I’ve never heard of an email operator refusing to send or deliver SMTP messages to/from a certain provider because too many of its users support the wrong political party.

You don’t need insync - most people just automate rclone sync commands using whatever task scheduler their system runs by default (cronjobs or systemd units, typically). For those who prefer a GUI, KDE has a Scheduled Tasks app.

On Android, you can use Round Sync which is a wrapper around rclone and can import the same configs.
