Hi. Can I embed this as library? Is there C API exposed? I can't seem to find any documentation. I'd prefer this to a CDP server.

We're bigger than US Steel. First sentence that raced to my mind when I saw this. Hyman Roth; legend.

Any thoughts on the relatively low PWM frequency of the Surface Go 2's display? Do you notice it?

>money-making juju rituals - where human body parts mixed with charms makes money spew out of a pot

Rituals like this never really existed pre 1600s. They are relatively modern and came with west africa's foreign relations. No serious indigenous spiritualist believes this. It may exist but it's most certainly not indigenous. That lecturer's a joke.

It's not really self deception. It's more of faith with a whole lot of ignorance. Ignorance of the old ways. How to go about it. So they get easily scammed by fake priests. Most african indigenous spiritual practices have been bastardized by the influx of islam and christianity. Most people believe in the old gods and are right to do so; but generational knowledge transfer is dwindling because of societal pressure. It's not really fashionable to be a traditionalist in Nigeria.
returnofzyx··on Hetzner Cloud Goes US (Ashburn/VA)
Hetzner's definition of "high risk" orders is certainly geographically biased. If you're worried about invoice payments, consider a prepaid credits model.

Hetzner will actually refuse your order after you submit your documents with no valid reasons whatsoever. At a point, you just give up and ask your EU co-workers to spin up dedicated servers for you.

Hetzner has a seriously flawed fraud detection system. There are multiple documented review complaints. Seriously, try opening an account from a third world / low income country (non EU/US/UK/CA/AU/NZ), your order will be flagged immediately. If they don't want orders from those countries, they should explicitly say so.
