Exactly --- this is ~10GB every 6 hours (which is probably a reasonable amount of time to run a backup while not interfering with active Internet use).
Basically the only backup-worthy content I generate is casual photos and videos, and these are nowhere near that size (Immich database backups also take up a bit but I could certainly be smarter about how I handle these backups).
Yeah, I would additionally like to see fines be in units of revenue --- $50M means wildly different things to different organizations.
We "only" have ~35Mbps upload, but that's plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.
But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!
Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync'd over (I don't generate a ton of data, so it's mostly just photos from my phone).
For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I've done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It's maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo...
In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).

Many time zones: You get to a new place and look up what time zone you're in.
Well, sorta --- but it's no effort at all because my timekeeping device (phone) does this automatically.
For me, the time of day is internalized in a way that I think is hard to switch. Same as how I was raised with imperial units --- even though I prefer (and use professionally) metric, the intuition can be a little harder to get. But to each their own of course :)
I prefer the current way --- I can be in another state or another country and I know that 7am is a good time for breakfast, around noon is a good time for lunch, and so forth. (If you don't change latitude sure, just go outside to figure this out, but it's complicated if it's overcast, or the latitude isn't what you're used to, or...)
Time has a number of meanings --- UTC is great for machines, local time is (IMHO) a good concept for humans.
Aviation is also mentioned, which (to me) is a bigger deal here. The only viable alternative to burning jet fuel is to get from A to B much, much more slowly. Which is great and something we should be doing! But realistically...not gonna happen anytime soon.
I like the "this can't really be compared to Windows or macOS" aspects of tiling window managers. I like it when the window manager sort of "gets out of the way," but that's just me.
It could grip it by the husk.
Yeah people don't seem to understand taxes wrt stock at all. RSUs are definitely taxed!
Only thing I can think of is they're thinking of options? Afaik those can be advantageous, tax-wise, because you are taxed when you exercise, not when they're granted or when they vest (this is my understanding --- I could be wrong).
Search the Internet for RSU tax liability in the US. It's taxed as supplemental income and is subject to withholding.
Are you thinking of options? That's different --- "stock grant" afaik almost always refers to an RSU grant/vest.
Because a foreign power influencing an election is fundamentally different than a domestic campaign. The foreign power has their own interests, which are potentially at odds with the interests of the electorate.
Ostensibly, if you campaign in country A and are a citizen of country A, then you're "in the same boat" as the electorate. Of course, with economic stratification this becomes increasingly less true (fast food worker may live in same country as $$$ donor, but they are effectively living under different policies).

As darkly humorous as this is, I believe "out of network" doesn't apply to ACA compliant health insurance for an ER visit --- so even if this happened to a normie, it would ostensibly be covered.
Edit: added "ER".
What people choose to do with their own lives is kinda up to them --- the proverbial self-inflicted gunshot wound is, well, self-inflicted.
It's the children, elderly, immunocompromised, etc. getting caught in the crossfire that's scary. (Not to mention the new breeding grounds for nasty variants.)
"South Korea as a nation dodged a bullet, but President Yoon may have shot himself in the foot," said Danny Russel, vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute think tank in the United States.
I bet my man Danny came up with that line in the shower. I dig it.
