Are there any custom ROMs (or GSIs) for the Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J337W (j3topltecs)? If not, then how do I build my own non-SaR GSI?

For people who have psoriasis/eczema/bad skin, how did you get rid of your dandruff?
I’ve been dealing with dandruff since I was a kid, it’s always made me really insecure and always wear a hat. I’ve tried plenty of different hair products, none seem to work.

Why is folder sharing between host and guest in KVM so hard?
I’m having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only.

How to make it so frequently used sites don't constantly require 2FA? [SOLVED]
EDIT: After reading all the responses, I’ve decided to allow cookies to persist after they close the browser, which I expect will make it so that 2FA doesn’t kick in as often, at least not on their most frequently used web sites. I may also look into privacy oriented browser extensions that might offer some protection, such...

[Question] Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?
I’m looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive.
