Picard can help you sort through most of it. It can identify most things even without tags. Just be careful and check everything it wants to do before letting it do its thing.
The desktops themselves persist however I have it set to reset to empty desktops on boot. There is an option in KDE settings to automatically restore previously open applications when you boot up, but my workflow is never the same from project to project.
I'm not sure anymore which is the default behavior. I think I remember having to change the setting at some point and that's how I know it exists.
The way Trump is going we're not going to be a world power let alone a superpower much longer. I can't t see Canadian businesses moving to the US as being to their advantage. Plenty of disadvantages, but not many advantages.
It's been a while since I've done a clean install, but I think the only thing I do to KDE is install Yakuake and set up 4 virtual desktops. Very handy when I'm working on my more involved projects.
For the average home desktop/laptop user, you probably don't need it. It won't hurt, but unless you're really downloading and executing random files off the internet, it won't do much.
If you run a server that is publicly available on the internet that allows folks to upload files to it, then you will almost certainly want it.
Degradation of privacy and security are not on or off switches, but rather a sliding scale dependent on your actions and choices.
What are you trying to protect and from whom?
What are the probable attack vectors?
What conveniences are you will to give up?
To prevent online services ( like google and facebook) from knowing who you are you have to completely disconnect from them and their networks.
Tails when used in combination with a VPN is secure, but only until the service you are trying to protect your privacy from put together that you are using them (usually by you logging into an account with them ).
When I was younger, privacy was something we were less concerned about. We were more concerned with preventing our systems from being hacked. Folks liked to say that the only secure computer was one that was locked in a solid concrete bunker on the dark side of the moon, with no data connection to the rest of the universe, and even then there would be some fool out there with a space suit and a jack hammer trying to get into it.
I've been running KDE now, almost exclusively, for almost 15 years. KDE works (by default) in a way similar to the way Windows XP worked in the late 90's - late 2000's. It felt familiar enough that I didn't have to try and figure out most things that I wanted to do. The few things that didn't work the way I wanted ( or felt they should) were easy enough to change. XFCE was similar (had a Windows 95-98 feel) but was not as configurable.
Gnome 2, I rather liked as it had a feel similar to Mac OS 8 from way back when I was in school, however I just never got along with Gnome 3. Everything felt... off. I can use it, Just don't care for it. Same for most other DEs.
The only formal training I had was 20 years ago in high school when I took a pair of A+ and Networking certification electives. At the time I wanted to get into Systems Administration as a career, but no one was hiring when I graduated. Went into trucking instead.
20 years on though, I don't really consider selfhosting a hobby, but rather the most cost effective way to achieve whatever I'm trying to accomplish for my family or myself. SAAS and subscriptions have kinda gotten out of hand, so I've "voted with my wallet" and just done them myself.
Mostly. I pay for email. That was a pain in the ass.
Do I still enjoy it, sure. But that's has become secondary as my objectives have shifted over the years.
There are quite a few in the US. Two off the top of my head are Slant3d and PCBWay. With all of them though, you may have to do some final post processing depending on what you are printing. 3d printing services just print the item, they don't do much beyond that.
About the only upside to this that I can think of is that maybe, just maybe, programmers will start being more frugal with their memory usage. Everything else just sucks.
Currently, just 6, Proxmox, Nixos, and 2 each, Ubuntu Server and Kubuntu.
When we moved last year we went on a massive cleaning purge throwing away anything we didn't need or want and I included digital files in that. I went from 68TB used down to about 20TB.
From memory, I had just about every Ubuntu server release since 2008 in both x86-64,and ARM roughly a dozen releases of Kubuntu, a couple copies of Knoppix, Gentoo, Silverblue, RHEL, Fedora, plus about 20 other random isos from when I was distro hopping, before I settled on Ubuntu and NixOS.
I think the isos added up to 15 or 20TB of what I deleted, the rest was just random junk I thought I might need, but based on access dates, never did.
The oldest iso I deleted (based on timestamps) was a copy of Windows 98, circa 2004
Which might not be a bad thing in most cases, given the problems we have in policing with over aggressive behavior, lying and general "us vs them" mentality.
Not every security or safety problem can be solved by throwing bodies at it.
Before my last printer died 5 years ago, I was getting good results with Hatchbox filament. Not sure about their current state, but they were the most reliable I had found at that time. Looks like they currently have one I would call navy blue.
My new printer is supposed to arrive today, so I'll be going through the filament evaluation grind again soon.
I'm using NameCheap. I don't recall them ever asking me to provide ID. They do have an api (didn't know that till now) though I'm tired enough at the moment that I can't make much sense of their documentation.
Not sure if it's the simplest way, but this is how I did it. I set up a reverse proxy service in a vm using caddy and then used pihole (also in a vm) to set up a local DNS record pointing to the reverse proxy. The systems need to be set up to use the pihole server as their DNS resolver.
How it works is you type audiobookshelf.local.lan in the address bar and it queries pihole which says it at 192.168.1.100 or whatever. The Caddy web server at that address then passes the request on to the service at 192.168.1.60:8080.
That website is painful.
Tldr is that two Bangladesh soldiers died while test firing a Chinese Type 57 tank when it exploded.

It's more an organization thing.

Essentially, it's bittorrent under the hood. IP addresses are public to others watching the stream at the same time.
Depending on where you are, I would turn on your VPN before clicking that link.

Pretty much, but I keep getting burned by "free" and sometimes non-free online services. It's a large part of why I self host the things I do.
And alot of folks are still bitter about Google Reader being shut down.

Meh.
Their soapbox, their rules. You don't like their rules, self host and make your own.

Hell, a death tax on assets over $10 million would probably cover it.

Setup is a bit tedious but it has worked for me.
