Due to this snap stupidity, I had to create my own script to replace "df" (which I generally use instead of fdisk -l for a quick overview of storage space):
#!/bin/sh df --si "$@" | grep -v
/snap|sort -h -k 2
With it being so easy to create "magic" file systems in Linux, I can't see why they don't make one single mounted file system that hosts all the snaps as subdirectories instead of polluting the pool of mount points.
How about: df --si "$@" | egrep -v "/snap|tmpfs|udev"|sort -h -k 2

As an example Google and Apple teaming up for a Corona API to make detecting of nearby contacts easier will be part of this new infrastructure. Of course its use is only for "(future) pandemics" but the API will never disappear.

When i read the disclosure correctly this is possible when the attacker controls the access-point otherwise there is no knowledge of the virtual ip to intercept the traffic. So do not use public and free AP with a VPN but use SSH.

Sure when the US had a great reputation on reliability you would be better of. But the US has not. Reality is that the US is rapidly losing support in most western countries. You really underestimated the damage Trump is doing to the relations with your (former) allies.
