The issue is that health insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment. This could very well be a payment plan for a much larger bill, so op is probably paying off $200 a month over a year or more.
Not everyone is so blessed to have a low deductible plan. Most people have high deductible plans. Having a deductible of $6k or more is as good as being uninsured. Most people can not deal with paying $6k for an emergency - it can zero out folks bank accounts or be a hamper on their month to month budget.
There are no public instances left for you to use.
Why ?
Nitter has already been struggling to keep up with the changes Twitter made on their side after 2022.
In January 2024, the Twitter API used by Nitter to fetch data from Twitter got shut down.
Without this, there is no way to run instances on the scale needed for the public instances that got listed here.
That’s unfortunate. But I still want to use Nitter !
If you want to continue running Nitter, you can do so using a normal Twitter account.
Do note however, that this cannot and will not scale, and is in a legal grey-area. Proceed at your own risk.
See here for setting up Nitter if you feel brave enough and don’t fear the command line.
But there are some instances ?
Through he thankless work of some there is a tiny amount of instances left. These will be slow and can not expose RSS to prevent the huge volume bot attacks. The latter one also makes captchas and other anti-botting methods a requirement.
Oh man are we sharing mpd scripts? I have this one that lets me search through music directory and add anything to the play queue (so I can add a single track or an entire album or whatever):
There’s also this one that lets me save the currently playing song to a playlist of my choice. It’s good if I’m listening to a new album or a new artist and suddenly think “yeah, this song really fits with the mood of X playlist”:
The sleeps are to prevent Cantata (graphical mpd client) from shitting itself if I run this script while it’s open. Also notice mpc shuffle instead of mpc random on. It shuffles the current playlist, but keeps the linear play order, so that I can add songs to play right after the current one.
Oooh those are nice! I’ll have to try mpc shuffle out then, and even though I generate my playlists with beets, I’ll definitely try out the save to playlist one!
