juergen,

What do you care? You are dead.

In general, everything will stick around as long as you paid for it. Your email account and your web site will probably be unceremoniously deleted once the money runs out, and the domain name itself will be freed up. While you use your domain to point to your web site and your email account, they won’t be associated forever: Once they expire, the name is available for someone else to fill it with new content, not to get access to your existing content.

Oooooor: You could bequeath all your online assets to a family member in your will (don’t forget to give them all relevant passwords), possibly along with some money to keep paying for the domain registration, email- and web hosting.

juergen,

The snap infrastructure is indeed what some object to the most.

juergen,

Got one for my wife not too long ago. She uses it to catalog her books.

juergen,

To some extent, the coping mechanisms we (the old people) had to figure out ourselves did work. Stuff got done. The cost? Depression, anxiety, all that good stuff.

Yes, most of us survived - but life would have been so much better (and more productive) if we could have gotten the right help at the right time.

So, yes: We made it, it SUCKED, let’s not make people go through this needlessly.

Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to...

juergen,

I have been using it for a few months, and it is working well. By default, you get daily snapshots, with a retention of 7 days; I believe you can buy more.

rsync.net is no-frills remote storage that gets out of the way of whatever you want to do. In my case, this is rsync over ssh, but they also support borg.

My mom uses Linux, btw

I installed Debian + KDE on my mom’s laptop. She hasn’t had a complaint since. How tech-savvy is she, you ask? I’m sitting with her right now, so out of politeness she put on headphones to watch her favorite soap opera. Mind you, the headphones weren’t plugged into the laptop. She was sitting there, headphones on her...

juergen,

I normally buy games without even looking whether they support Linux. On the extremely rare occasion that a Steam game doesn’t run on Debian, I’ll just get a refund. Sometimes I feel like I should stick to Linux native games on Steam, to send a message that Linux gamers exist - but then there’s sure to be something that I just can’t live without on the Windows side.

juergen,

Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.

And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.

juergen,

Breezewood, PA, I believe.

juergen,

I am clearly not hip to popular culture.

Mass shooting outside Indianapolis mall [Circle Center] leaves 7 injured, all children and teens, police say (www.cbsnews.com)

Police said they initially responded after patrol officers in the downtown area heard several shots being fired nearby. They found six minors, among a larger group of kids, suffering from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds. An emergency medical services crew transported all of them to a hospital for treatment. One of the...

juergen,

It is a kind of fudged up world when your second thought is ‘thank goodness they are only injured’.

juergen,

The fun part is that the primaries seem to be specifically designed to have the parties do that to themselves rather than to each other.

juergen,

Yep. Pessimistic about anything still being useful at this point, but hoping I am wrong.

juergen,

Tchia was that for me. There was no point in the game where I felt pushed to do anything I felt was out of character for her, and gameplay and storyline harmonized beautifully.

Runner-up would be Horizon Forbidden West.

juergen,

There is another reason to use cat food beyond the superior flavor (on which I am just going to trust you): Dog food will often contain bone meal, which is fine for dogs, but indigestible for humans (and cats). Can clog up your guts.

juergen,

OK, turns out they use it much less in dog food, but also to some extent in cat food. So it does just come down to the flavor.

juergen,

I think of Debian as the Sensible Family Van.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

juergen,

So! Much!! This!!!

juergen,

Absolutely do that. But still vote against Trump in November. And due to the aforementioned flaws, in a tight race, abstaining or voting 3rd party may be ideologically superior, but tactically ill-advised.

juergen,

Point taken. Reddit habits die hard.

juergen,

We don’t talk about Bruno.

juergen,

Elon Scissorhands.

juergen,

Yes, he has been saying this. What is lacking is a plan to get there. Against the opposition of the current Israeli government.

juergen,

Right. The principal parties of such negotiations are the Israeli- and the Palestinian Government, with Hamas in the mix, because they control the Gaza Strip.

Anyone outside those groups can make suggestions, demands, etc., but there are limited means for them to influence such negotiations. The US government can threaten to withhold support (at the risk of being labeled antisemitic or at least anti Israel), but I wouldn’t bet my bottom dollar that it would make a difference in this climate.

I did not mean imply that Biden and his government can make a plan, and expect it to be followed. However, I feel that for his own benefit, Biden has to make a public display of making stronger demands for a resolution of this problem. It may not fix things in the Middle East in the short term, but it will demonstrate that he cares, and that the USA cares.

196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

juergen,

Even Geralt of Rivia eventually had to admit the the path of ‘choosing none of the evils’ Just Does Not Work.
