So you know how the two modern empires got single digit country codes? -
Have US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11?@arclight from everything I've heard, O'Hare was always dystopian, but yes, post-9/11 security theatre made every airport into an O'Hare zone.

SystemD, the universal attack surface, was either a terrible idea or an evil idea. ( I was shocked that Debian accepted it. )
I'm going to look into Devuan &c that allow reverting to old init and plain-text logfiles. But how long can they survive backporting to older APIs? -
Has anyone hired someone to live with them or someone close to you in order to augment memory loss, where assisted living facilities arenโt a good fit?@AncTreat5358

Sad but true.

But for Dad, that was terminal hospice, non-ambulatory, not memory-loss keep-out-of-trouble. Grandfather's is more relevant as I understand it. -

for Dad a couple years ago, approval discharge to home-hospice required a non-medical attendant. A local medical services agency (spinoff of local hospital) provided 7/24 in rotating shifts. It wasn't cheap, and neither Medicare or LTC insurance covered it (although LTC may eventually have agreed to pay some?) which was a cash-flow bite (was it $10k/mo payable in advance? which for ~700 hrs/mo isn't much pay for those folks?). The visiting nurse was covered and they were excellent -

For grandfather at the dawn of this new century, family used an agency similar to an au pair agency; brought in a Scandinavian lass working on improving her (already good) English as (nearly) 7/24 live-in monitor/assistant. [a family member would take a shift once a week to give her a day off?] This was in addition to whatever home-health services were mostly-paid by Medicare etc.
