No surprise. Same with Amazon's experimental drone delivery robots and likely all the other automated delivery systems.

Not sure that's true. And mining on a CPU is even less efficient. Your hash rate will be way lower unless you've got a really high-end system with a really low latency bus and RAM. And if your hashrate is too low, it would take months for you to find a single block unless you're pooling with a bunch of others and splitting the profit. It's quite variable, but very, very few people can make profit on any popular coins. Too many people to compete with to find a block.
Oh and don't forget cooling cost. The fans in the computer, the fans in your house, and your air conditioner in your house need to disipate the heat and there's a lot more generated per clock cycle from a CPU than a GPU using comperably old technologies. If you live somewhere that you're producing more electricity with solar than you consume, then it's probably not a cold climate.
This sounds like the same complaints math teachers had when pocket sized books or calculators or web search or many other technologies started becoming ubiquitous. And the same answer is true, these are tools they will have in the real world. It's just as useful to learn to use tools as it is to learn to do the thing without tools. Test them without the tools available for those things they need to know from memory and with the tools for everything else. Make the tests, essays, etc. so the tools aren't able to do the entire set of work in the test.
Wasn't as big of a problem when text books helped with this like making lots of math problems that calculators couldn't solve in a dongle step. The real issue is that textbook manufacturing consolidation has made text books fairly useless, so teachers are left to craft their own lessons if they want them to be worthwhile. And they don't have time to create their own lessons from scratch because of some aspects of our education systems that are too much to go into here.
They've been consumed for training already, but that data is harder to hand over as evidence in a court filing. It's not really human readable and isn't necessarily going to contain exact queries done by users and the output of those queries which is what the news orgs want.
That makes them think you aren't available, but if you have any kind of voicemail it means they know it's a real number so autodialers will probably still try later. I think this request is how can we fool the spammers (automated or otherwise) to think the number is totally invalid so they stop calling it.
That is difficult since there's probably some indication from the phone company other than just a voice message that indicates a number is invalid/unallocated.
That said, muting is the way I do it, but now most autodialer systems are configured to call twice in a row to get around the Do No Disturb settings on most cell phones, so it is more annoying now.
I'm hoping that means fewer police there to protect the bigots when they inevitably attack.
You still have an upstream DNS server that you rely on to provide updates to your unbound server. Problem is that corporate or extremist government controlled DNS servers can track all of your requests as well as censor any domains they don't approve of. And if DNS servers or their users don't use secure protocols, then those requests additionally are tracked by ISPs or any other systems the requests travel through as well as them having the ability to block individual requests they don't want fulfilled like the Great Firewall does or most corporate internal systems sometimes do to prevent employees from accessing social media or other sites they deem not work related.
Yeah, video streaming is not a good thing to put on a limited bandwidth server either directly or as a VPN or proxy passing data.
Best bet would be if you can set up a reverse proxy on your router and have that accept all inbound requests and direct to the correct internal server and port.
Yeah, that kind of defeats the purpose of using a "stable" distro though. As you mentioned, other better distros are available.
Problem with Manjaro is they have their own opinionated repository that is not always in sync with Arch because they try to introduce more "stability". I found this actually caused the opposite in most cases as there are a lot of dependencies that end up being behind and so you can't install more stable versions of a lot of software. With the complexity of modern software dependencies, it has become a big problem. Also, they have in the past caused lots of problems with AUR and have let their SSL certs expire multiple times. Overall, they just haven't been reliable IMHO, so I moved to Fedora a while back.
Yes, these are not "private" services, they are "secure messaging" services. Commonly confused issue. Privacy requires controlling the communication infrastructure. Security only requires controlling the items being shared.
Personally, I find Traefik much simpler than Nginx, especially with Kubernetes, but even with pure docker, but it's definitely not as performant. That's balanced by the fact that it does a lot of automatic detection and has dynamic config loading so I don't have to break other services when changing configurations.
