I use Liberapay and have been pretty happy with it. Have found quite a few of the people and projects to which I would like to donate, but not all.

I use Runbox, and have for many years. Overall I’ve been happy with them. I think they have the features you are looking for.

OVPN has been RAM only for a long time as well, the describe it on their website.

Definitely! There are so many jobs with heavy lifts where something like this could help. Spanning all the way from construction to health care.

I would have guessed that this was an authentic photo based on them showing up correctly in the mirror. Can AI image generators handle mirrors? That would be seriously impressive to me.

Blood Meridian is a pretty unforgettable read. I didn’t really know anything about it when starting it beside it being a western and known as a book worth reading. Let’s just say that it was quite different from the stereotypical western that I expected. It’ll be very interesting to see how the movie turns out.

Also read The Road a long time ago and for whatever reason I never realized that he authored them both, although I should have expected based on the bleakness of them both.
