I've been a happy customer with joker.com (Germany) for at least 10 years.

I think it's easier the other way round, find all symlinks and grep the directory you want to move from results.

Something like 'find /home/user -type -l -exec ls -l {} ; | grep yourdirectory' and work from there. I don't think there's an easy way to list which symlinks point to any actual file.

Reddit has always been down every now and then. And it's pretty much back online after few hours of DDOS or whatever. When I was an active user there (10 years or so) this kind of thing happened at least once or twice every month, it's nothing new. And next one will come sooner or later. Business as usual.

Downdetector shows that they have some problems, but as @tankfox@midwest.social already mentioned, this is not the right community.

Can you link a case where that actually happened?

Cases where salary was paid by government aren't directly available online (at least in Finland) but I personally have recieved money trough them and followed the process from the side as my previous employer was bankrupted. Also in here the tax office is the biggest entity which drives companies to dept collection and eventually to bankrupt if they don't have money. So, yes, it happens pretty much all the time. Most of the time those are businesses which are going down anyways so there's nothing to get, but there's no mechanism preventing that happening to any company which doesn't play by the rules.

Good luck with trying to evade payments.

I don't know how things work in Germany but here in Finland we have an government agency which pays salaries if company can't or won't as a safeguard for employees. After that they go after the company with pretty beefy lawsuits which eventually say that either the company pays for the salaries and some extra for the trouble or government just seizes and sells enough property that they get what they're owed. And if company doesn't have money nor property then it'll go bankrupt and that's it. I assume Germany (and most of the other European countries) have similar mechanisms.

And then there's of course the union too. They can just decide to either stop coming to work altogether or go in a 'sitting strike', as in show up but don't do anything during the day. And they can enforce that, you can't just hire new people to replace those on strike.

people using it are not secure at all.

And this is very much not limited just to signal. No matter what software, protocol or any other way you use to communicate, both you and the receiving entity/entities are the weakest link by a long shot. I don't expect even my closest friends to hold our everyday conversations secret if for whatever reason their wellbeing was threated in any way. And even if I did there's always other options, like targeted social engineering, to get trough pretty much any reasonable safety concerns on digital communication.

Of course in everyday life if our chat histories were publicly available it would not be too big of an issue, but it's still something worth keeping on mind when interacting over any digital or any other written medium.

I also vouch for bags. Just purchase two boxes with the vacuum and make a habit to rip the model number out of the empty box and add it to grocery list immediately after one is empty. They're pretty cheap, mostly made out of paper so they're not that bad for the environment and the bag acts as an additional filter which saves actual vacuum filters and motor in the long run.

Exactly. You can build rules with ufw and view them on iptables. Maybe the one thing ufw does better out of the box is persistent rules and simpler "firewall on/off" switch, but specially on this particular question I don't think they matter.

I haven't got a new a vacuum at least in a decade (more likely 15 years or few more), but I'm on a market for a new one too. Current one is Miele and it's been abused by dog hair, kids, house remodeling and pretty much whatever you can think of. It still functions but the plastic is starting to fall apart.

But, based on that one model, which hasn't been available in years, it seems to be a pretty reliable.

Investors will adapt if the global agreements are clear. But that's a pretty damn big "if". Nato countries (currently without US) might build up something which works for them, but that still leaves roughly a half of the globe out of the equation. UN is not even close having enough leverage to make that happen, even if Hague would technically be the place where this kind of decisions would naturally fall into.

And the situation we have right now with global west (mainly EU, USA, Canada), global east (China, India and some of the Russia) and global south (BRICS) is way too unstable and scattered to make any global "best out of 3" vote impossible (and I obviously oversimplified the situation).

Maybe we need to reach out to some extraterrestial court to decide about this...

if they meant plantains, which are bananas but different

Which I did. In here they're referred as 'food bananas' or 'cooking bananas', I just didn't bother to look up the correct name.
