Borg backup is gold standard, with Vorta as a very nice GUI on machines that need it. Otherwise, all my other Linux machines are running in proxmox hypervisors and have container/snapshot/vm backups regularly through proxmox backup server to another machine. All the backup data is then replicated regularly, remotely via truenas scale replication tasks.

Easily the biggest loss imo. RIP WCD.

… nobody can convince me otherwise

Ignorance isn’t something to be proud of.

So far it’s fine. Not much of a difference on the surface. Except floatplane videos in Firefox have distorted audio now after the update. Might be unrelated but it was directly after updating. Oh and my Application Menu crosses into the monitor to the left of my primary screen which is a bit annoying. Nothing showstopping here.

Apple and Amazon next please.

I self host services as much as possible for multiple reasons; learning, staying up to date with so many technologies with hands on experience, and security / peace of mind. Knowing my 3-2-1 backup solution is backing my entire infrastructure helps greatly in feeling less pressured to provide my data to unknown entities no matter how trustworthy, as well as the peace of mind in knowing I have control over every step of the process and how to troubleshoot and fix problems. I’m not an expert and rely heavily on online resources to help get me to a comfortable spot but I also don’t feel helpless when something breaks.

If the choice is to trust an encrypted backup of all my sensitive passwords, passkeys, and recovery information on someone else’s server or have to restore a machine, container, vm, etc. from a backup due to critical failures, I’ll choose the second one because no matter how encrypted something is someone somewhere will be able to break it with time. I don’t care if accelerated and quantum encryption will take millennia to break. Not having that payload out in the wild at all is the only way to prevent it being cracked.

Do VLANs with multiple wireless and wired clients using OPNSense and OpenWRT dummy APs count? Still haven’t quite figured it out.

Konami doesn’t deserve your money. Buy it used if possible.

yt-dlp continues to be the best option for me.

That’s not what they’re saying. Nuance is important here.

Some people have a legitimate condition where they can’t remember faces. Moreover there’s a lot of different brains out there and some people have very poor memory when it comes to other people’s names or other details, especially if they’re introverted and have anxiety in social situations. It can be helpful to have reminders, like keeping birthdays attached to people in your contacts so your calendar can remind you when it is someone’s birthday. Everyone is different and what you call “effort” might be a physical or mental deficiency or differently wired brain for someone else.

Yeah that’s one thing I think doesn’t get much attention. We actually have a lot of solar in some major countries. In many areas, there’s too much and it’s wasted right now. The efficiency of the grid’s solar intake and distribution is often times worse than the solar panel efficiency themselves. If we can store and distribute that excess with the same efficiency of the panels, it would be a huge stress relief on many systems.

Waiting for Steve and Wendell to weigh in.

Frogs rule!

Given the share price has fallen so hard, I won’t be surprised if Ubisoft just lays off most the workforce anyways.

This is why you don’t preorder! Don’t pay extra to get the game early when they’ll launch it early anyways if sales are too low!

I really wish rider would respect when I turn it off. It just keeps re-enabling itself.

So they… prove that they’re a threat out of spite?

It’s been absolutely fantastic for me, I keep recommending it to friends but they don’t like the $1.99 price and yet keep getting upset when ads play. I’ve started replacing apps with safari links on my home page and YouTube is one of them thanks to vinegar.

Late to the party. Generic designs. Boring uninspired gameplay that did nothing to advance the genre, and basically no marketing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a tax-loss project by the 8th year of development.

Oh wow this is fantastic!! I really hope LMG gets all the masters copied in this quality. What a treat!
