As mentioned in the title, after installing and setting up wireguard I can’t update or install anything on my VPS, I’m running Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

It seems there is an outage ongoing on the APT repository. We are also experiencing issues on our side in our CI while using apt and there are other reports of such problems today (see here or here)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
