Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most profitable entertainment franchises in the history of games. It came along as a return to form after what many fans would argue was a misstep with the more gritty and realistic GTA 4. Originally released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3—yes, it spans three console generations—developer Rockstar has supported the game's online mode with continual updates adding new content, new areas, and even all-new mechanics.
GTA V was such a runaway success—and GTA The Trilogy: Definitive Edition was such a dumpster fire—that Rockstar gave up working on a Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC, and has now reportedly abandoned plans to remaster more of its beloved older titles to instead focus on both further GTA Online content as well as the development of GTA 6.

Naturally, expectations for GTA 6 are incredibly high, and given the advanced age of GTA V, fans are chomping at the bit for any bit of news. That's why there's so much buzz around a report at Bloomberg that focuses on Rockstar's new corporate culture. Company co-founder Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020, and ever since then the development house has been trying to reshape a corporate culture that the report refers to as being "like a frat house".
Given the nature and tone of the humor in the Grand Theft Auto series, it's really not surprising to hear that the atmosphere inside Rockstar was juvenile and chauvinistic. The report remarks that the workplace culture at Rockstar was "full of drinking, brawling, and excursions to strip clubs." That may sound like a good time to some, but it's admittedly not very professional.

As part of the report, author Jason Schreier casually reveals that GTA 6 will have at least two playable protagonists, and that one of them will be a Latina woman. This technically isn't the first playable woman nor even the first playable Hispanic woman in the GTA series; the very first GTA game featured a Latina named "Katie" as one of its eight playable characters.
Still, very few of the series' modern fans even remember the old DOS-based Grand Theft Auto, so we can forgive everyone for forgetting about poor Katie. Regardless, the new girl will apparently be part of a Bonnie-and-Clyde-like crime duo, calling to mind the partnership between Claude and Catalina in the beginning of Grand Theft Auto III. Hopefully the partnership between the new player characters in GTA 6 doesn't end the same way that one did.

Hello legaladvice! This question recently occurred to me and I was wondering if there was an answer.
I really like the movie Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, and streamed it for a friend and I to watch via Discord one night. Earlier today, it made me wonder about laws governing the distribution and broadcasting of TV and Films.
For example, I imagine most movie theaters have some sort of license agreement with a movie company in order to offer viewings of that film. However, where is the line drawn for an individual private citizen? As with the example above, am I technically breaking the law because I paid for access to the movie but my friend didn’t? Does the law specifically detail a setting/number of people where it would be prohibited to broadcast or stream a movie or TV show? (I.E. the local haunted house that has hundreds of guests every day during Halloween, but is also projecting “Monster’s Inc.” and “Ghostbusters” onto a screen every night). I would assume in some cases, you could simply get permission from the copyright holder of the film in order to play it for consumption by public masses, but it more or less made me curious and got my brain working. Any input or thoughts on this appreciated!

Want to get away from it all? Or maybe you’re in the business of vacations and profit off of those wanting to escape their dreary, boring lives. In this game pack, the world is centered around a stunning resort focused on fun outdoor activities, scenic views and beautiful culture. I think a Brazilian themed world could be awesome, including rich cultural foods, dances and architecture in a colorful coastal community.
Hotel Features - In the middle of the map is a huge resort lot (uneditable except for rooms) that has these venues that don’t need a loading screen to enter: - Waterpark with New Slides - Lazy River with inflatables - Surfing Pool with Waves (can increase level of difficulty, new skill: surfing) - Beach with Surfing, Wakeboarding, and a giant cliff for cliff diving nearby! - Can rent out boats and cruise around, watching fireworks - Hiking trails and cable car overlooking the city - Event rooms with arts and crafts for kids and samba dance classes for adults - Beaches return and beach lots are back (similar to Island Living)
New Lot - Arena - features a racetrack where sims can watch car races
New Careers - Race Car Driver, Hotel Manager, Travel Agent
New Event - Carnaval-inspired festival with dancing and floats that go down the street
Gameplay

• New AirB&B like system where you can rent out your property such as homes and apartments
  
• Can now own more than one house/apartment
  
• Can get positive or negative reviews and can leave positive or negative reviews on lots rented. Can change property to better suit reviews (get a maid service, include more leisure items, etc.)
  
• Land Baron (own and control land and properties) or Getaway Giver (give guests an amazing stay at your rental properties) Aspiration - but be careful! The community around it may dislike your improvements and rally against you, trashing your property and sending complaints!
  

Feel free to add any ideas below! Thanks for reading

So we had a guest coming to our house. (She was my roommate's neighbor's daughter in India). She was everything I wanted to be (atleast before meeting here). She was 34, senior manager in big Tech, earning more than half million dollars per year, owning big house etc.. She was extremely successfully career wise (getting to senior manager at 32, is very rare) and I wanted to listen to her story and get some tips on how to succeed in this field.
However at one point the talk went to marriage and she started crying. She said she always wanted to have a caring husband and at least one child. She was drop dead gorgeous, conventionally attractive and fit. But during her initial years she wanted to focus on her career since she was very ambitious. At 31 she thought she was reasonably successful and started looking for guys via AM & dating. However she couldn't find any decent match for next 2 years. And now she is extremely lonely.
​
According to her, most of her friends are married now and have children. She says even though she is very successful, her life is unfulfilled, on the contrary her friends have extremely happy lives in their small world. Her friends who decided to take career break for children, were easily able to get back into corporate world and would catch up with her in next 4-5 years. Infant couple of her friends who decide to become SAHM to care for children are way more happier than her. Even her relationship with her cousins are not great since moved out of India when she was 24, and didn't interact much with them (they just grew apart overtime). She still dates but most men she met are either (1) Dont want to marry, fwb or casual flings or (2) Dont want children or (3) Not Indian (she only wanted to marry fellow Indian). I said it might be because guys intimidated by how successful she is. She said that is something more like a defense mechanism to console myself. She said at this age most people are content with whatever they have and dont compete with strangers that much and she also dated people who are much more successful than her (startup CEO's, hedge fund managers, consultants) and they still fall into above 2 categories and the fact that they can get much younger girls. At 34 she barely has anyone to talk to outside of work.
​
She ended this topic saying "if I had to re-do her life I would have gotten married as soon as I became independent around 26-27 years, especially since I genuinely wanted to have kids. " As someone who considers herself ambitious but also wants to have children, seeing her in this miserable state made me very sad.

Last month I (29F) invited my two friends to visit me in the city where I live. They are from back home where I grew up. My one (29F) friend who I've know for 12 years asked if she could bring a 3rd random friend (24F) I don't know. I agreed (learned this was a big mistake) and the three of them stayed at my apartment. I now know I should have asked them to get a hotel. But the weekend was fun and I was a kind a gracious and patient host. Basically what happened was the random girl started arguing with my 4th friend from the city who also joined us for the night. I tried reasoning/compromising with them until the random girl started arguing with ME in my house. I continued to try and reason, and she just wouldn't stop!! I kindly asked her to stop until I calmly and sternly said "don't push me." (It was all over a half hour difference in time of going out to bars) (we were all sober btw) She then stopped and my actual friends from home eyes widened at me and jaw dropped. (In my view, this person was very rude and a poor house guest)
Now, I don't really care about the random girl. But what I do care about is my friendship with my actual friend who I've known for 12 years. But this situation made me feel like she didn't have my back and doesn't support me. She should have told that girl to get in line! I'd go as far as to say she's spineless! I opened my home to them, was kind, patient, took care of them all weekend and continued to be kind and gracious when the random argued with me. What do you think, Reddit? Am I overreacting and should I let it go?
I just have a hunch that they feel stuck back home and see I'm on a good path and I'm actually happy with my life/career and are not happy with themselves. Any thoughts or input? I'm not sure if I should just create healthy space between me and my friend from home for now....

The 3 basic parameters of hashtag #Valzubiriagenda:

1. We artists and everyone else can write and self-publish art- and artist-related books: memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs. Books are forever. Pamphlets and brochures are not books.
2. We announce a schedule of increasing prices of our art pieces, which includes quantities (scarcity numbers) per price point and overall (the total quantity of art pieces we might ever make). This helps art traders, art investors and art collectors speculate or even stop speculating and instead join a community of investors working together to hopefully skyrocket to the higher announced prices in a shorter span of time.
3. We can use the NFT world, because NFTs provide the tracking (who owns what) and trading.

We can also not be involved with NFTs. Stores and individuals can help sell art using online presence and our catalogs in the stores. If this trends, or once this trends, even expensive art can be sold by neighboring businesses, without exclusivity. Commission systems do not have to be standardized. Art investors can produce their own catalogs to leave at the cafés. Even the cafés can produce their own catalogs.
Valzubiriagenda NFTs
NFTs only came about a few years ago. But I had been working on this since the 1990s. I wrote a book, Valzubiriagenda, along with fellow artist Silverio Perez, and released it in 2018 (Amazon and elsewhere), tackling everything related to #1 & #2. We'll come up with #3 in a later book/ memoi marketing book.
Any artist, including tangible artists can release 10,000 NFTs if the artist chooses to do so. For tangible artists, the NFT first becomes an Art Commission Contract for sight unseen, yet-to-be made art. Once the art is made, the NFT becomes proof of ownership that the actual, tangible art is theirs.
Warehousing our tangible art
Another related idea is that the tangible art may be warehoused by the artist so that the NFT traders continue to trade. This means that even 10-ton 10-foot tall sculptures can be owned and traded by anyone without worrying about shipping, reshipping, scratches, smudges, parts breaking off, etc. The newness of the pieces remain because they are stored by the artist, source, gallery, etc. The art piece gets shipped to the art collector, the ultimate owner.
An artist who makes ceramic coffee mugs - smaller art pieces, can release 10,000 NFTs with a schedule of increasing prices so that NFT traders can trade immediately. The 10,000 coffee mugs can get damaged, so as they are made, they continue to be stored by the artist, until the time when art collectors decide to have the art pieces shipped to them.
Why only now?
I decided to write as many book-length memoirs as I can before I came out to promote this.
I'm an artist and an author. Both need time to "master." I would not even fully use "master" on myself, because there's always something new, even to my own art, my own writing and publishing.

I am now claiming that I'm the visual artist who has produced the most artist memoirs in the world. I have 5 on Amazon. I count Valzubiriagenda as both a marketing book and a memoir-of-sorts, because it has a lot of my own life lessons on writing and publishing. I would not care to contest my claim of having the most memoirs. I will release 5 more over the next 3 years.

BARTER! Get help to write, photograph art and publish your books!
Anyone can hire 11 ghostwriters for 11 memoirs. If you can make art, but you cannot write, then barter your forever art with those who can help you produce forever books.
I don't feel the pressure of writing and publishing because I feel my focus should be on art students and art experts who would study my art and my books 100 years from now. Don't expect relatives and friends to read your books.
I call myself the Dollman
For my NFTs, I am proposing to make dioramas - my original, costumed, bejeweled porcelain dolls in backdrops that will also have precious metals and gemstones. This way I can incorporate precious metals and gemstones in my work, to make sure that people perceive my art as expensive, just in case I myself don't become "famous" - there's no need to get world famous. We are artists and all we need to do is to satisfy the art niche.
Use your laptop now!
I will encourage you to start writing your book-length memoir. Write, Edit and then Self-publish it. Get help. Why wait a hundred years for someone to write about you when all you need is a laptop and a nearby coffee shop.
Don't start counting chickens before the eggs hatch. I have encountered a lot of would-be writers who immediately see themselves as bestselling. world famous assets to society. Two even wanted me to sign NDAs (Nondisclosure agreements), because they did not want me to steal their book ideas.
Here's a suggestion. I would not personally do it. From one manuscript can come 2 books: The Original Draft (unedited, with misspellings, considered to be an art piece, scanned pages(?) of your handwritten original effort), and The Final Edition (edited).
PROVENANCE!
Another way to enhance our investability, tradability and collectability is PROVENANCE - how art ownership proceeds through time. The way this can be done is also through publishing books. Everyone can write their memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs, including traders, investors and art collectors. In effect, we artists can continue to be included or mentioned in even more books, without any additional effort by us.
You as an investor, reseller, trader, art collector should be able to publish a catalog with 250 works by 250 different artists, but they need to agree to this right from the start - it's your money, you should require them to follow your version of the hashtag #valzubiriagenda parameters, which preferably should include permission for you to publish their art. Why would you track down 250 artists later?
No exclusive contracts
If you're a café, you can call for artists, and come up with a book with for example, 30 artists, with a chapter devoted to each artist's profile and images of the artist's art.
You can distribute your catalogs to businesses and individuals near and far and online.
The book Valzubiriagenda even cites that funeral homes and janitors closets can sell art, with or without exclusivity. Airline catalogs can include million dollar art pieces. Car manufacturers, showrooms and even car repair shops can sell art as well. Everyone should be able to do this, anywhere in the world, especially not just because of the pandemic, but right now, we are in really bad economies.
What's with the name #Valzubiriagenda
I was into conspiracy theories in 2018, and this term, "The Mandela Effect," was popular. I had read many times that an artist coined the term, but I had to research online, for her name, many times, before remembering it. I'm not good at remembering names. It took me a year and a half to finally tell you that Fiona Broome coined "The Mandela Effect."
I also thought I might have to research trademarks and copyrights just to come up with a generic name. So I decided on "Valzubiriagenda." I was not really sure at first, but I decided to use it as the title for my book (with co-authoartist Silverio Perez) so that there would be no turning back and I can move on.
Am I a FUTURIST?
Someone I recently met this May 2022 just called me a futurist.
In the 1990s, I proposed to a pension fund that they can raise billions of dollars, especially for emergencies, or as needed, or out of desperation, if the pension fund purchases a quantity of art from an artist who not only has a current, reasonable price, but an announced future price that the artist wants to reach.
That future price would obviously be higher than the current price. The art commission contract for multiple art pieces can be taken to the fund's financial lender for a loan. The higher future price can be used for financing purposes.
The pension fund's treasurer, a publicly elected official, said this idea might work, but we had to keep this a secret and discuss this some more, because other pension funds might copy and do this prematurely. This idea had to come from the two of us. The treasurer needed his votes and I needed credentials.
Added into the pot was my idea that I, as the artist, will also write one book-length artist memoir. This was and still is a strong factor, because the leadership and marketing books I had read then mentioned a strong tip. If you want to advance in your field, write a full-length book that is related to the field.
Unfortunately, the elected official, the treasurer of the pension fund, who was also a friend, passed away - he was old and had ailments. At that point in time, I cannot just approach another pension fund treasurer to share this idea with.
I realized I had to write a few memoirs. I needed to set an example for other artists, so I needed to write more than one memoir. Then I felt I should also make ready another book - the how-to of what I'm up to. I wrote Valzubiriagenda, which was a memoir of sorts. I knew how long it would take me to write a book, so I had to make sure I can also consider this book a memoir.
In 2008, I imagined that someone like Bernie Madoff, or a fund like Lehman Brothers, would be desperate enough to use this to save themselves and their companies. I was not ready. I had only written 1 manuscript for a memoir.
In 2012, I released Dollman the Musical, A Memoir of an Artist as a Dollmaker. Once again, I was not ready because writing it depressed me a little, and I knew I had to write more.
In 2014, I released 3 memoirs, and re-released Dollman the Musical. Besides releasing regular books, I released special editions of the 4 books, which had a "Special Secret Insert for Bankers," which explains my ideas of an announced schedule of exponentially increasing prices, to satisfy investors, and the publication of artist memoirs, to satisfy art collectors.
In 2014, I also issued out a press release. Google "Can Billion Dollar Artist Save Investors and World Economy Valentino Zubiri PRWeb August 19 2014" and you will see the press release.
What I did was stake a claim on my ideas. I did not promote my books and the press release. I just wanted them to stay online, like a sleeping giant or a dormant volcano. I even designed 3 of the book covers to look like indie books from the 1980s. I was planting the seeds, thinking they will eventually grow and bear fruit in the future.
In 2015, I was interviewed by Richard Syrett, about one of my memoirs, Hocus Pocus Lately. This book is my memoir with paranormal stories. I could have pursued promoting my paranormal stories, but I wanted to be known first as a visual artist and memoirist, so I allowed myself one interview related to Hocus Pocus Lately. Richard Syrett has(had?) his own syndicated radio show, The Conspiracy Show with Richard Syrett, about the paranormal. He also guest hosts on Coast to Coast AM, another internationally syndicated show about the paranormal.
In 2018, I released Valzubiriagenda (co-authored by artist Silverio Perez, a fellow artist). Finally, this book is "the how-to of what I'm to."
I'm going to end this with some strangeness. In 1986, a lady at a religious gathering went into a trance and left a good number of messages. Supposedly, anyone who got into a trance would have messages, but once the trance was over, the person would not remember what was said.
I was not part of the group, but the lady turned her head to face me. She "foretold" that whatever I would decide to do in the future, it will take time, but it will be the right thing. This is one of my stories in one of my memoirs, Hocus Pocus Lately.
The Tulipmania of 1634-37
I discovered that there was this incident of rare tulips becoming collectible during the Dutch Golden Age. There were tulips so rare and so well-desired that their prices equaled to that of a house. You can read more about this online (Wikipedia) or watch a few YouTube videos about it.
Here is the most useful idea that I gleaned from the Tulipmania. The tulip bulbs remained safe inside nurseries. The traders were carrying the deeds of ownership to the tulip bulbs.
Then NFTs came to the forefront
I started learning PHP, an HTML scripting language, and MySQL, the database that PHP can connect to in the background, in 1999, when there were only 3 books about PHP and MySQL at the bookstores.
By 2014, I was trying to figure out how to make the "ledger," or database that can be used to update ownership and who can be contacted. If we are trading art, then the art ownership should be updated.
Then NFTs came about. This can be used as our ledger. Everyone can immediately trade NFTs of future, yet-to-be made art pieces, especially because it takes time to make tangible art.
NFTs actually went a step ahead, by allowing digital art to be traded.
The only setback with NFTs, in my opinion, is that it still lacks a commission system for resellers and representatives.
For example, if a café wants to represent me, then they can promote me at their café and on their online pages. If I make one piece of art that will be exclusively represented by a gallery, then that commission will be different and more specific. As ownership is transferred, the subsequent owners should be able to reset the commission. We should also have the option of giving commissions to hundreds of representatives at one time with different percentages if need be.
The recent crypto crash
Lately, we have observed that NFTs and cryptocurrencies have been behaving like the stock market and other markets. They have been fluctuating.
I believe that it is time for a trend which discourages fluctuation of prices.
I have also seen YouTube videos where social influencers are encouraging us to be on the lookout for exponentially profitable ventures, because we have all seen this happen with the exponential increase of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Let's see if #Valzubiriagenda trends
We can announce present and future art prices. The galleries won't do this (yet?) because they follow a more traditional approach to the business of art.
We have a choice of using incrementally or exponentially increasing prices. We still reserve the right to change things in the future, so everyone should know to follow the latest update.
If this trends, if you as an artist simply announces that you will write an artist memoir, or that you will include the future works in future art books, you might have more art traders, investors and collectors approaching you.
Get your pen, paper and calculator
Imagine yourself as an artist, where you are right now. Let's just say you still do not have a book about yourself and your art yet. Imagine now that you have a memoir out there. Don't you think it makes sense to charge more than what you are charging now? Writing and publishing books is just the beginning. I'm just standardizing this approach. The books also say to do other related projects. In my case, getting Dollman the Musical onstage is one idea. You will have other related projects, but the publication of memoirs, biographies, art books and art catalogs will help all of us.
You can also imagine that a law firm that has meeting rooms, with someone who wants to form a local #valzubiriagenda group, can have meetings. A local café can do the same. Local photographers for your art, writers, editors, book designers, proofreaders and others can join in.
I suggest have printed books to share. 15 copies of your memoir or art books will be better than an e-reader or laptop or your phone to show. These gadgets can be stolen, sabotaged, broken, have coffee spilled on them, etc. 15 printed books means simultaneously showing to 15 people. You can even give them away to potential resellers, investors, traders and collectors.
When it rains, it pours, as in the days of Noah
There's a saying, "When it rains, it pours." There is a negative interpretation and a positive interpretation.
Negative: When trouble comes, they cascade to even more.
Positive: When opportunity comes knocking, more follow suit. We can assume that if one gets our art because of #valzubiriagenda, more want to do it now, because of the rising prices, and FOMO - fear of missing out. What will they lose if they miss the boat?
As I have said earlier, if the #valzubiriagenda trends, if you announce a future memoir or art catalog, you might have an increase of investors, traders and art collectors who would want to check you out. You might encourage more sales. Just remember to write and publish that memoir and art catalog.
There's this saying, "As in the days of Noah." Imagine Noah, building his ark, with members of his own family, putting all his time and effort into it. Noah was a nice guy. I'm sure every once in a while a neighbor offered him coffee, or chai latte, or whatever refreshing drink they might have back then.
Here's the lesson to be learned. Just because they offered him some type of bubble tea drink, or coca cola, they still didn't make it to the ark. Rubbing shoulders with actors does not make you an actor. I have told my artist friends to write their memoirs. They told me that once they see me succeed, after all these many years of seeing my seemingly useless efforts, then they will write their memoirs and follow the road that I had paved for them.
Good luck to them, but if I were you, act now, get my art or make art. Support the 5-year old artist whose parent promised to release a comprehensive art catalog. If you get that 5-year old's art, and mine, I would be honored to be in the same art catalog that you will produce. I'm already successful at that point. You have gotten the mission just right.
I have already claimed to have written the most book-length artist memoirs in the world. Dethrone that claim. Barter. Use ghostwriters. Success to me means facing God one day and saying, I wrote my memoirs and left the world a legacy of books and art. I will not tell God, smiling and proudly, that I encouraged a run for my art by announcing a schedule of exponentially increasing prices that reached 9 figures. I'm sure God knows we had fun.

Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most profitable entertainment franchises in the history of games. It came along as a return to form after what many fans would argue was a misstep with the more gritty and realistic GTA 4. Originally released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3—yes, it spans three console generations—developer Rockstar has supported the game's online mode with continual updates adding new content, new areas, and even all-new mechanics.
GTA V was such a runaway success—and GTA The Trilogy: Definitive Edition was such a dumpster fire—that Rockstar gave up working on a Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC, and has now reportedly abandoned plans to remaster more of its beloved older titles to instead focus on both further GTA Online content as well as the development of GTA 6.

Naturally, expectations for GTA 6 are incredibly high, and given the advanced age of GTA V, fans are chomping at the bit for any bit of news. That's why there's so much buzz around a report at Bloomberg that focuses on Rockstar's new corporate culture. Company co-founder Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020, and ever since then the development house has been trying to reshape a corporate culture that the report refers to as being "like a frat house".
Given the nature and tone of the humor in the Grand Theft Auto series, it's really not surprising to hear that the atmosphere inside Rockstar was juvenile and chauvinistic. The report remarks that the workplace culture at Rockstar was "full of drinking, brawling, and excursions to strip clubs." That may sound like a good time to some, but it's admittedly not very professional.

As part of the report, author Jason Schreier casually reveals that GTA 6 will have at least two playable protagonists, and that one of them will be a Latina woman. This technically isn't the first playable woman nor even the first playable Hispanic woman in the GTA series; the very first GTA game featured a Latina named "Katie" as one of its eight playable characters.
Still, very few of the series' modern fans even remember the old DOS-based Grand Theft Auto, so we can forgive everyone for forgetting about poor Katie. Regardless, the new girl will apparently be part of a Bonnie-and-Clyde-like crime duo, calling to mind the partnership between Claude and Catalina in the beginning of Grand Theft Auto III. Hopefully the partnership between the new player characters in GTA 6 doesn't end the same way that one did.

Hello everyone, technology/privacy/security have always been of great interest to me and i have refined my techniques over the years and it has come in very useful in my crypto investing so i will attempt to share what i do:

1. Security through obscurity: This means dont tell anyone anything period, it also means try not to stand out so you will not be targeted, some of the tips i recommend will make you stand out with hardened security so it is a trade off you must choose
   
2. Not your keys not your crypto: This means take ownership of your crypto by controlling your keys with a wallet you own, hard wallets are preferred but do not protect you if you dont protect yourself with proper OPsec and basic network and device security, this also means that you must safely protect your keys for the long term so that no one can steal your physical keys you have written down or stored in metal key card, if your house is robbed it should be the one thing they dont find
   
3. Passwords: Many ways to create and store passwords so i will share the secret method i use: I use a combination of keepassXC and an app called password generator i downloaded from fdroid store for android I will explain later about neostore and fdroid and how i protect my android phone and pc, if you search for it the icon has 4 stars like this ****, description is privacy friendly password generator, i use this one for a few reasons i will explain:
   

first you change a few settings: before creating your first password, in the setting menu turn off the bind passwords to device option this allows you to recover your password on any device using your master password that is never stored or transmitted, Then go into expert mode and change the hash algorithm to sha512 and increase the number of hash iterations, these settings will need to be re entered on a new device along with the masterpassword to get the app to create the same password again on a new device if you ever need todo so, now you make your first password by clicking on the plus symbol and filling in the two required fields account name and user name also adjust the slider to max password size and check all four boxs for the strongest password the app can make, there are stronger passwords created by keepass but we choose this method so we don't need to store passwords or keepassfile to have our passwords with us everywhere we go, if the phone becomes compromised there is no passwords stored anywhere and the app will not generate them without the master code, when you create a password for example reddit this is what it would look like: Account name = reddit username = username then i enter my masterpass and it generates a password based on those inputs, if you come back into the app the account name and user name will be stored all you have todo is click on it and enter your masterpass again, the passwords are not stored on the device, next step is to save that password from your phone into your keepassXC so you can have all the wonderful benefits of keepass on your PC which is hopefully well protected and encrypted i will go into that more in a min, some choose to upload or travel with the keepass file, i dont like todo that and also if loose the device on my travel i will be locked out and the file could eventually be cracked, i dont save passwords in my browser, i use a keepass browser extension it its autofill feature

1. Device isolation: For most people this could be the smartest thing you do, device isolation means you have different devices for strict purposes for example i have and android phone and a fedora linux pc i use them both online for many things and have many apps installed this greatly increases my attack surface and increases the chances of infection, so i bought a cheap Chromebook just for my banking and crypto sites only, i choose chromebook for a few reasons, it has secure and verified boot comes secure out of box, but mainly because it is a different OS then my main Linux OS, i also use a 2ffa app on my phone i will talk about that, what this means is that an attacker will need to hack multiple types of OS and layers of passwords and encryption to gain control of my account, i also use browser isolation meaning i do not have multiple sites open with multiple tabs i would instead use multiple browsers for example firefox, brave, chrome ect this is important
   
2. 2ffa not SMS I use the app Aegis for my 2ffa instead of using keepass or sms this requires an attacker to have control of my phone and the code to Aegis app before they can get my 2ffa code
   
3. Phone security I use open source everything i recommend you buy a pixel phone and flash an opensource operating system to it there are many to choose from both android and linux, i use degoogled pixels with lineageOS or GrapheneOS, this was easy to learn and do
   

From there i choose wisely what i install Starting with fdroid and neostore and Aurorastore
I then install RethinkDns and Hypatia, Vigilante and URLcheck, i setup all the blocking scripts in rethinkdns and download updated lists for hypatia i install fennec browser and ublock and setup URLcheck as the default browser, i dont give my number out or install random apps or connect to random wifi, i have Bluetooth and nfc turned off as well as mic and camera, i use rethinkdns firewall settings to block all apps including newly installed apps by default, if needed i run rethink thru tor network using orbot app, i also dont recommend biometric security it is not safe

1. PC security This can be a touchy topic but the truth is windows is not your friend, i made the switch to linux years ago i am very happy, i game in 4k and edit videos and pics, mine crypto, theres nothing my Fedora machine cant do, Fedora has many extra security features not found elsewhere, it is secure out of the box, i set the firewall to public when i am not home, i set the DNS to use quad 9 or nextdns and i only install apps from the built in app store, this reduces so much trouble, i then use a hardened firefox or librewolf browser and practice safe browsing habbits, on firefox i use ublock and canvasblocker, skip redirect and smartrefer
   
2. Network security This is the hardest part and the most important, many ways you can go about it
   

The first line of defense is your routemodem box that probably came from your internet service provider, if they came from your ISP i would recommend you upgrade them both asap and turn on the strong security features of your router, the modem is most likely out of date and should be upgraded to the newest model your isp can run, order it or buy it at walmart it does not need to come from your isp nor do you need to pay rental fees, as for the router i recommend openWRT routers you can buy preflashed or flash your self, whatever router you choose you need to make it secure, change the default password, turn off wps, setup a dns of your choice such as quad9 or next dns i will talk more about that in a min, in the router settings look for an option for device isolation or setup vlans and guest networks so you can have network isolation, the router password and wifi password should not be the same, learning how to maintain router security is very important, i hard reset my router often and set new password, i think i have 4 passwords memorized one is my encryption password to my ssd/bios, one is my masterpassword for keepass/password app, and one is for my phone, and one is for my chromebook, all other passwords are saved in keepass on my encrypted linux machine, i do pc backups to an encrypted flashdrive, i have my ssh keys stored in keepass as well

1. DNS This is often overlooked and is of great benefit to us, a dns provider like quad9 or next dns gives us our privacy back as well as lets us filter out bad sites and trackers, i use encrypted DNS with quad9 you can set that up in your browser network settings or in the dns settings of your router, this uses dnssec and tls 1.3 so nobody can see what site your connected too, combine that with a vpn and you are ghost, this prevents alot of attacks such as man in the middle, the dns block list and dnssec will prevent a fake website from even loading, it will not enter your network and you will not be taken to the bad site, this level of protection with a hardened firefox and Linux machine will make you stand out to certain people who are looking so its a trade off, i do my dns encryption on my openwrt router with dnscrypt proxy v2, but you can set it up very easy by following the instructions on quad9 or nextdns sites

The only thing i can think of past this level would be to use deep layer network protection such as DMZ zones and multiple routers and switches in between you and the internet making all the more difficult to penetrate, i should also mention portmaster and SPN and also the next gen firewalls that are not open source and cost alot more money but also have alot more features, this is my first large post im sure in missed somethings feel free to fill in the blanks or correct me if i am wrong, move smart take care, i hope everyone is well and in pursuit of dreams and goals

Hi everyone, this will hopefully be my last time posting here. I am 18 and homeless since i was kicked out of my home two days ago for standing up against my abusers. Someone has offered to rent out their guest house to me for a small rent per month. I am only a little bit away from my goal to pay the rent. She offered me to pay a small deposit to start living there and she would help me figure out work and the rest. The only reason i ask is because it's starting to get nasty and wet and cold around here again and I'm scared for my safety. Thank you all for reading.

Our catering company handles both the food and beverage package, and the "House" open bar package is included with the price of food ($75 per guest). I am not picky at all and would never notice brands at a wedding, and my parent's don't drink and have no idea. What is normal? Would our guests notice and think the House package is bad? Do you think any of the upgrades are worth it for the price? Upgrading to Call is about the same price as adding another food item to the menu at our cocktail style reception and my mom thinks that would be better.
HOUSE (Included no extra charge):

• Smirnoff Vodka
• Gilbey's Gin
• Barton Rum
• Jim Beam Bourbon
• Seagram's 7
• J&B Scotch

CALL ($4.25/guest):

• Absolute Vodka
• Bombay Dry Gin
• Bacardi Silver
• Jack Daniels
• Seagram's 7
• Dewar's Scotch

PREMIUM ($8.50/guest):

• Grey Goose or Tito's
• Bombay Sapphire or Hendrick's
• Flor de Cana or Captain Morgan Spiced
• Knob Creek or Maker's Mark
• Crown Royal
• Glenlivet or Macallan

Edit: we’ve also thought about asking them if they’d do the signature cocktail(s) with a more premium alcohol?

This is more of a building from hell than a neighbor from hell, but I live in an old building that was constructed with no soundproofing whatsoever. My upstairs neighbor, whose unit has hardwood floors, is an overweight man and I can hear every floorboard creak and feel every stomp when he walks upstairs. House guests have commented on the excessive amount of noise as well and said that it sounds like someone is banging on the ceiling.
I’ve brought this up to him and he agreed not to wear shoes inside and be quieter late at night etc, but to no avail. I’m a light sleeper and wake up to the stomping upstairs without fail. He usually goes to bed around 1am and wakes up between 6-7am and I’m entirely beholden to this sleep schedule. I’ve tried earplugs and noise canceling headphones but still wake up due to the vibration coming from upstairs.
I’m really at my wit’s end here. I cannot function on 5-6 hours of sleep per night and this is beginning to affect my immune system now to the extent that I’ve been sick with colds/flus for MONTHS on end. At the same time, this guy has every right to walk around his own apartment whenever he wants.
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with this situation and are there any soundproofing measures I can take on my end? I still have 8 months left on my lease.

So we are moving this coming week and I plan to put the cats in a base camp as the house is a little over double to size of our current place so I'm concerned about them being overwhelmed. I'm definitely an overthinker so I could be overthinking it for sure. But my one kitty is very skittish to new experiences, still a young kitty.
I'm torn between putting them in the laundry room or guest bedroom. The laundry room is where the litterbox will be in the end regardless of Basecamp location but I'm worried if I move the litterbox there after what if they can't find it? The laundry room isn't small, it's a decent size but the guest room is bigger and there's a window. But the problem with that location is I need to go in and out of it to deal with boxes and unpacking stuff. And I'm worried about that as I don't want to stress them out by coming in and out.
Another concern is keeping them in there, ones a big door dasher when she doesn't want to be kept in a room. So I'm worried how I'll be able to get in the deal with the litterbox, food and water without her slipping out. In theory they should be fine for at least 2 days because they have auto feeder, water fountain and the litterbox. But is that enough time for them to be in Basecamp? I'm so worried about letting them run wild too soon and overwhelming them

So i can't get the mod to work and im not sure what else to do.
