<p>Spectrum was the first company that came to my mind, too. Last week, my mom recently signed up for spectrum & she bought the traditional TV + Internet + Phone package, when she only needed Internet. I've been putting off calling them since I don't want to deal with talking to anyone.<p>& yep, it is very easy to upgrade your subscription on spectrum's website but there is no way at all to cancel/downgrade online.</p>

<p>I'm in a similar situation. Distro hopped quite a bit, (OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian).<p>For 5 years now, I've ran Fedora on an old laptop that resides at my parents house, 5000 KM away from me. In that time I have not once physically been in contact with that server. I've done all updates via ssh, including full system upgrades (e.g. Fedora 32 -> Fedora 33) without any hiccups.<p>To me, that's amazing.</p>

Interestingly the west's bumblee population isn't listed as being in trouble.</p>

<p>apparently, turkeys have a pretty understandable language. There's a documentary, My Life as a Turkey [1]; he was able to decipher what each call meant (e.g. which squawk meant "snake" and which one meant "eagle"). So, if you were walking with a turkey, and you saw a snake and wanted to warn it about it, you could, in theory, communicate with it.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/my-life-as-a-turkey-introduction/7268/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/my-life-as-a-turkey-introduc...</a></p>

<p>As a bug bounty hunter, I can attest to having an awful experience at times. The three companies I have worked with @ HackerOne have all taken forever to payout or fix bugs. Currently, I have been waiting 4 months to be paid by a company on HackerOne, for a pretty dang high impact bug that leaves all their customers vulnerable; I checked today, & they still haven't fixed it, let alone paid out.<p>You also have to be aware of policy changes. I've noticed companies remove language that told how much they'd pay out. Some companies have a mandatory pay out of 7-14 days but they are rare; with everyone else, you just have to hope they pay you, and they do, I guess... whenever they feel like it.</p>

<p>I coded[0] a very simple CMS for my blog around 8 years ago. I wanted something fast and I wanted to use python instead of PHP. so I went with nginx + uwsgi. The website[1] runs on an old laptop. 8 years later I've edited maybe a handful of lines of code.<p>Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't get why these articles pop up so frequently as if making a blog was some super complicated thing that required the latest CMS, etc. Most people here (including me) would suffice with a nginx and plain html/css, no CMS required, based on articles like these, at least.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/sfttw/avanti" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sfttw/avanti</a>
