Haha. I’ll own that. And I’ll happily try (and, no doubt, love) the Nutella concoction you describe - but I’m standing my ground and not calling it fairy bread! 😉

No, I mean… chocolate sprinkles?! That’s chocolate ant bread! Fairy bread is white bread, butter, and 100s and 1000s. Nothing else. Australia needs to introduce a Fairy Bread Purity Law to protect our sacred food.

Am I the only one thinking “that’s not fairy bread!”?

Get your own domain quickly! Or you might be myname@myname2.com

The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

• speed of internet
• TB/kg of storage
• storage medium transfer speeds

But of course, they’re only looking at one small aspect of the overall issue. Just focus on the airline industry, rather than actually having decent privacy legislation that prevented any industry from (legally) misusing individuals data?

ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, meaning it’s outside the Five, Nine or 14 Eyes jurisdictions

British overseas territories are outside the UK’s jurisdiction now? 🤔

I like to think that if enough people ended up taking 10 minutes on a support call to validate someone’s identity, when it should take 10 seconds, maybe the companies would learn to stop asking stupid security questions. I like to think that, but in reality nothing will change.

Ah, yes, D7k3y2mHy5lZhbyHa St, I remember it well.

I use my password manager to generate the answer. My mothers maiden name is CzyHcjMKMfwT4tZ7HXbavQrOPo and my first pet was Avhu6FqPTRsWwafA, but we called him Avhu for short.

I used to have an email address “myfirstname@i.am”. I thought it was really cool… until I kept having issues logging into sites that didn’t understand how email worked. I now use “companyimgivingmyemailto@myname.com”, and I just confuse humans who think I work at their company, and that I don’t understand how email works…

Wow. I know Australia Post sucks, but this is bad even for them!

No, that was a different one.

I know you said “no nextcloud”, but I often see posts from people who say nextcloud was overkill for them, but they don’t realise that almost every component of nextcloud can be uninstalled if you don’t want it. It can be pretty barebones if you want it to be.

I don’t see how you’re going to get away from the domain requirement, though, unless you’re just going to connect to your raw IP address? (And if you are, I didn’t think that nextcloud required a domain?)

Sorry I can’t be more helpful with a different solution, but hopefully someone out there knows of something that would suit your needs.

Seems plausible.

I’m not measuring it, just quoting another source. I just wanted to find some numbers to try and understand how Sweden and Australia compare.

If it’s the entire country, then Australians still don’t have to deal with diversity because most of their minorities live away from the white people.

You make an excellent point.

Yeah, I wasn’t claiming it was a highly accurate source, and I was surprised that we rated so low based on those calculations, so thanks for the additional analysis. I just found it hard to believe that Sweden would be “dealing with diversity” more than Australia (or at least, in any significant way). Maybe there’s more nuance to Sweden’s numbers, too?

As an Australian, I honestly don’t disagree with you… but suggesting Sweden has more racial diversity than Australia?! From what i can see, Sweden has “6% diversity”, whereas Australia has 9%. Not a huge difference, granted, but completely different ballpark to USA (49%), and if this is your measure, Australia still “beats” Sweden.
