Fair enough. We all have our preferences. :)

ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.

That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven't used it yet though so I can't speak on it beyond that.

Just something to keep mind.

 


Edit: Syntax.

I don't mind self-learning. Hell, if I'm interested in the subject matter, I usually find myself experimenting and researching.

I'm all about that "wait, I wonder if..." mindset. 😎

I work as a cashier at a dead-end retail store in a town of 5000. (Seriously, the closest reasonably large city is like 30 minutes away.) So I don't think there's much of an opportunity at my current workplace. Haha.

But you still make an excellent point and it sounds like a good starting-off point. Thank you!

I didn't know that. Thanks!

Which distros, out of curiosity?

I really appreciate the effort! My dream is to eventually learn enough from free online courses to then take a certification test and then maybe I can get a job even though I don't have a degree. I fear my lack of a degree will doom that goal before I ever get a chance, but I have to take that chance, I feel. Also, I fucking hate customer service. Lol.

Honestly, I had a bunch of little confusions. I thought the input() function was only a string until the user typed in a value when prompted, and then it became either an integer value or a floating-point value depending on what you typed in.

Thanks to Labna@lemmy.world and your other response, I understand that it is always a string regardless until you convert it after the fact.

Also, I meant to type an asterisk instead of a plus sign when typing over my code snippet into my post. Fixed now.

Also, to answer your last question, if I do h+r or h*r, I get "5010" for the former (which makes sense) and the standard "can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'", which also makes sense to me now that I understand the above point.

Oh, I think I understand now.

Thank you for clarifying that to me!
