Furniture was a “luxury” item. We had very a few and ugly options, produced by socialist / plan economy manufacturing industry. Quality wise these were meh… Even then one needed to jump through the hoops to buy the ugly and not very affordable furniture. Rumours about new batch coming to a local store and you have a long queue waiting for hours, sometimes days. Anything better imported from abroad, was super difficult to get hold of. Unless you’re a member of the socialist gov and have connections.

As a person who grew up in a socialist country, I say be careful what you wish for.

I love Americans 🤦 There’s the whole world out there with working people depending on cars.

I was recently surprised by Debian 12. Tried it on my Dell laptop and getting better battery life than Pop!_os. Try this installer which makes life so much easier :)

Sorry, I couldn’t manage to read the whole post. Anyway, you may want to try authentik 2024.6 or later. They “reworked proxy provider redirect” in that version. I find it much more stable, but still not perfect. OAuth works great though. Note that 2024.6 requires Postgre db upgrade.

Interesting to observe how our intuition is failing us while dealing with digital products. When someone gives you something for free on the street, naturally you get suspicious and start asking yourself “where is the catch?” But when there’s a free app - no second thought. Everyone is using it so it must be ok. Well, Google and Facebook are nothing but glorified advertising agencies. The whole reason of their existence is to make money on ads. Edited: typos.
