Mullvad is great, but they just very recently took away the option of port forwarding, so torrenting with it is a problem now when it comes to seeding.

I tried Caldera first, but could never get it to boot. The first one I managed to actually use was Ubuntu 5.10, and that's what got Linux to be my daily driver. Lots of distro-hopping later, I'm still daily driving Linux, Debian these days.

Am I understanding right that you only have the address to look for? You don't know your gggfather's name? If you know his name it would be easier to search for that rather than trying to page through all of Milwaukee looking for his address.

Here's the tricky part: the street numbering system changed in Milwaukee during the period from 1929 to 1931. Bad timing for the census, for sure. If you're looking at a document from a cemetery showing the individual's last residence, they would use the numbering system that existed at the time of the document's creation, which is not the same as the numbering that existed in 1928. Today 3511 North 37th street still exists, and it's between Nash and Keefe streets. This shows the changes in street numbering that took place over that two year span. What ended up as 3501 used to be 1540. So that's why your addresses in the censuses you looked at were closer to 1500. I don't know exactly what number 3511 will translate to, but it's going to be something greater than 1540, probably not very much higher than that. In modern-day Milwaukee there's only one building between 3501 (which we know was 1540 in the census) and 3511. If you find 1540, the house you're looking for is probably just two entries after that one.

Oh, just in case they don't do this in your country, I should note something: when you're walking down a street in the US, the buildings on one side of the street will have even numbered addresses and the buildings on the other side will have odd numbered addresses. So if you see odd numbered addresses on the census, those will be on the wrong side of the road and you'll know they are not the one you're looking for.

That's something that's bugging me. I should at the very least be able to see my own posts on my profile page even with the checkbox off

The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in 2002. Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234. The Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 prohibited "any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture" that "is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct".

I haven't seen or read the language of this Louisiana law, and presumably intelligent law-makers would be aware that a law with a similar intent has been ruled unconstitutional, so maybe they changed enough so that this one will hold up.

I migrated from Evernote to Joplin because Evernote started charging. I migrated from Joplin because the sync was problematic and wasn't working correctly for me.

My biggest uses are my recipe collection, my bookmarks list, and where I keep notes and roadmaps for my personal hobby projects. I don't use it anywhere even close to its full potential. Links, for example, are nothing that I use and I can't find a compelling reason to do so. I use almost no formatting either. I do use tags, tho. I really don't need something with as much power as this has.

Love this app. Been using it for years

My RSS feed seems to only populate with my posts, not comments or saved items. I agree, this probably isn't the intended behavior. Following this post to see if you get any better answers.

Just this afternoon I kept one on the line for 15 minutes, and I don't do it very often.

A computer controlled magnet underneath the table moves and pulls a magnetic ball through the sand to create the patterns. Google "Sisyphus table" or "kinetic sand table". I don't think the clock is part of the table, I think it's just there for the video to show how long it takes.
