it's mostly OmniOS/SmartOS and other Illumos (descendant of OpenSolaris) distributions. All the Solaris 11 deployments i was aware of in mid-late 2010s are now either migrated to some sort of container setup of running on OmniOS.

Look into vxray it works for my wife's family. AmneziaVPN worked for me during my last visit too.

That's called "Apple price ladder". Basically pushing consumer in small increments up the range of products with " but with just $$amount you can get X product with 2*Y of Z!" until consumer hits their limit instead of buying the cheapest working option.

Exceptional report. Surprised to see that much of a confusion on HN about why it is there. MH17 posts with forensics did not seem to be offtopic when they were posted. This fits.

For me smoking was always a social thing, smoke breaks were spent with my schoolmates, friends and colleagues. It was a nice ritual to have. Go out, walk to a smoking spot, chat, smoke one, chat, maybe two, head back, get back to work. This aspect made quitting easier, in a way. Once at work i switched from a tightly knit team that was spending every moment of the day together, to a different smaller team where everyone had their own track and there was no such esprit de corps, and no one was smoking. My breaks became much less enjoyable.

I got frustrated with myself hanging onto a habit like that. I quit cold turkey from half a pack a day because i felt like tapering down was just an excuse to continue smoking while still doing "something" about my addiction. I had weird nightmares for a few weeks, that i do not remember that well but i remember that the main theme was the embarrassment of finding myself smoking again.

It was 9 years since my last cigarette and i still think about smoking daily. I understand that mainly it is not the tobacco that i am missing, but the fun that i had and people i had around me.
