I run the container locally, and set up 127.0.0.1 as search engine on my browsers. It works for me, as I do not use search on mobile as much.

The custom here, about names, is to have more than one "first" name, and at least both dad and mum's last names. So I can go with not remembering the name you have just told me, to remember the full name for life.

It was waaaaay cheaper to buy a... mmmm... lesser quality movie on a Betamax cassete than renting one and have to pay late fees, or rewind fees. Ah, and in case a "new" release came, you could just ask your provider to get it next week.

You could also bring back your cassette, and get another movie for cheaper.

VHS? DVD? Get off of my lawn!!!

They already do import the water from external sources, mainly the Cutzamala system, which is not quite enough as there are parts of the city that has historically suffered from lack of water supply, like Iztapalapa.

The city is indeed a valley, with an altitud of more than 2k meters above sea level, so meteorogical inversion is a given condicion,

A fix to their issues is to bluntly stop growing (it is expanding), and decentralize the gubernamental institutions there so their related weight can be sparsed along the country, but that is a political debate that may never be opened to discussion

Edit: forgot to mention the heavy rains periods. Being inside a valley, on top of a former lake, and an almost impermeable surface, you can now begin to imagine why the city floods on the rainy season. The sewer system is decades old and in a really bad shape, so the rain mostly has to wait for evaporation (good luck for that during an inversion event)

I am glad not to live there anymore.

It is even more complex than that. That land was originally a lake, so the city was built in top of that. Then, the extracted water is hard to replenish due to the permeability be near to 0 as it is now an slab of concrete, and due to the heavy construction density and population, after water extraction the soil gets compressed.

Usually, under btrfs filesystems containing system data you can get snapshots and rollback flawlessly, but some subfilesystems do not get those snapshots by default, like /var/log or /home, so you may need to set them up in order to enable snapshots, and manually create one when you start tinkering with your system. You then can revert the full snapshot, or even individual files
