The fidelity credit card is exactly this if you use Fidelity for your checking account. 2% cashback on everything, goes directly into your bank account.

But the website and app UX for their credit card is awful. Everything is a hassle.

With your setup (which I assume has one GPU) can the GPU be utilized by more than one user simultaneously?

I believe the main bottleneck for that would be finding seeders for a collection that large, not a lack of storage.

They basically did with CIV Beyond Earth. It was very mid.

Fastmail makes an excellent email client, but there are significant privacy concerns that have not been adequately addressed in many people's eyes.

Namely, that Australia (where Fastmail is based) passed laws that require all Australian companies to give any/all data on their users to the Australian government, and are not allowed to publicly disclose what is given.

Not that Google is any better.

If you want a privacy-focused email that "just works" consider Protonmail or Tutanota. Alternatively, if you're feeling bold, you can self-host your own email like I do, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in it for the fun of it!

They say they made significant improvements to Linux support with this 12th gen model. Here's hoping!

I'm only somewhat versed in networking and proxies - how is this different from something like SquidGuard?

The NFT had nothing to do with the takedown. According to the Vanced team, it was taken down because the logo they used was too similar to the official one.

I'm a 23 year old software engineer, and though I want to do this so badly, I struggle with the logistics of having a steady income throughout.

Is the move just to get a remote job in the US and work overnight across the world? Try to get a SWE job in every new country I go to?

Anyone have any advice?

Genuinely curious - could you elaborate on why that is so unacceptable? What does requiring authentication imply, or lead to in the future?

I really hope the self-hosted option becomes a thing, but unfortunately "we are not averse to the idea" means especially little in the tech world these days.

That being said, really really hoping for your success! It finally fills a MUCH needed gap in 2021 consumer image viewing software.

There are many many gaps in it right now. Synology is basically the only self-hosted photo solution that grandma could use. Honestly surprised that more people aren't taking advantage of the opportunity.

Very surprised no one has mentioned Synology yet. This has been done. And it's awesome!

I currently have a self-hosted google photos clone and I only paid for the hardware. Highly recommend.
