Atheist here. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Atheism is merely about trusting what's been proven, or has some evidence backing the claim that can be verified without doubt. Being agnostic is being indecisive about everything, even things that are completely made up.

I think the benefit of knowing the names publicly might be the public's ability to then no longer elect these people, which cuts off the foreign interference at the root, as far as can be done within the country. It might also act as a deterrent for future MPs knowing their names could be released if they too partake in this behavior. It would accomplish stamping out the problem and publicly shaming these people for the rest of their careers.

Not saying it's realistically feasible or prudent overall to actually release them though.

All good points. There's definitely no perfect or even close to perfect solution.

Yeah that's probably the strongest point in favour of letting people pick what they want. But I guess a potential downside of that could be if people start stocking up mostly on only a few select items that everyone else also wants., leaving nothing behind for them. But I guess that's mitigated by seeing that happen a few times then specifically trying to get even more of those select items going forward.

Yeah that's a good point. If you can't see what people are leaving behind, you can't know what to stop taking more of. I guess you need to generate some short-term waste in order to properly tune things as needed, to hopefully reach a point where you're reducing waste as much as possible in the longer term.

I wonder if letting people pick their own items really reduces waste more than the hamper system? What happens to items left on the shelf that no one takes? That's probably the same stuff that would be ignored from a hamper? I'm admittedly pretty ignorant of food banks generally, but I would think that the hamper system would be trying to encourage people to eat whatever they get, to both reduce waste by making sure all items get out there from the bank, and to ensure there's enough of everything coming in to go around evenly? I can see this maybe resulting in the better items going first, and a bunch of less desirable items always being left behind to rot. Does that tend to happen in this type of system or not?

Can confirm, I'm living there right now. People here tend to take proper personal responsibility for their own garbage and mess.

You shouldn't be charged for unauthorized requests to your buckets. Currently if you know any person's bucket name, which is easily discoverable if you know what you're doing, that means you can maliciously rack up their bill just to hurt them financially by spamming it with anonymous requests.

The good thing about getting one from the start is that you can set it up to your liking from the get-go and won't have to do it later. You'll also get used to using it daily and see how managing two devices works for you.

Yeah this is what I use to create and manage a work profile on my device to keep my personal and work data/apps separate.

You could sandbox it into a work profile that doesn't have access to your main profile. Storage is completely segregated, and the work profile can be easily disabled when you're not using it.

The best solution is obviously to choose another platform and convince your girlfriend to use that, explaining how this little extra effort on her part to use another app goes a long way with you in terms of appreciation and understanding of a partner's boundaries and comfort zone.

I can only see this being effective if the Nginx instance isn't also responsible for reverse-proxying the frontend traffic, and if it's not running on the same server as the frontend or backend (ie. decoupled from the infrastructure serving the stack). Haven't looked at the article yet but I'm assuming they would recommend provisioning the infrastructure with that decoupling, or it wouldn't make much sense.
