    A beautiful, lush garden is a wonderful thing. Not only does it look good year-round and impress the neighbours, but its also a great place to spend time in the summer months and entertain guests.

    [10:41] schestowitz__[TR]

    However, a good garden is not an easy thing to maintain. It takes many hours of hard work and toil to create a beautiful garden in the first place, and then many more hours to keep it that way. If you take a vacation or have a few busy weeks, things can start to go wrong fast.

    [10:41] schestowitz__[TR]

    The good news here is that home automation can save the day. With the right tools, you can build a smart garden that cares for itself in many ways and is more efficient, convenient, and even more impressive.

    In this article, well take a look at why a smart garden is the best kind of garden, and some of the smart features you could consider building into your own outdoor space.

    Cashing out was described as relatively simple. "There's nothing easier than cashing out, it's the easiest thing in my job. Just transfer the money to Chinese exchanges, from there to another exchange, then to drop *** cards. You send the *** to the ATM and they bring you the cash," the ransomware group member said. There was no indication of what *** stood for.

    Asked how one put the cryptocurrency received as ransoms on a card, he added: "There are a lot of online services, from cryptocurrency exchanges to exchanges and local bitcoins. I always use different ways to blend in with the crowd."

    Companies that act as gatekeepers in the online economy will from now on be subject to a new regulation put in place by the European Union from this month onwards: the Digital Markets Act.

    [11:12] schestowitz__[TR]

    In a statement, the political bloc said the act, which will be enforced from 2 May 2023, would end unfair practices by gatekeeper companies.

These containers package your application and its dependencies so that it can be shipped and run anywhere transparently. [23:03] schestowitz The idea of Docker extensions is to help developers expand their capabilities by using third-party tools, just like plugins. You can enable the extensions available from the extensions tab on the Docker desktop with a single click, he says.
