zerbey,

The only people who need the USB 3 transfer speeds are going to be Pro users. For everyone else, it doesn’t matter.

zerbey,

Hardly used it anyway, and when Elon took over my feed was 99% posts by him and 1% porn accounts. So, not worth keeping it.

zerbey,

At a fast food place, Shake Shack is the best I’ve ever had. Burger Fi is also good, but can be inconsistent sometimes. Now, the best burgers I eat are the ones we grill at home, a local butcher makes a blend mixed with Japaleños and they’re delicious.

zerbey,

Glad you enjoyed it, the only one near here is at a place that’s almost impossible to find parking for so we don’t go very often.

zerbey,

Only thing I used it for was when older versions of Notepad couldn’t handle larger text files. Now it can. So, no loss to me. Notepad going away would suck, that does at least get occasional use although Notepad++ is far superior.

zerbey,

I would be broke in about 4 months with $10K in reserve if I dialed back everything to the bare minimum. It would make my job search extremely urgent.

zerbey,

If I was still in my own place I think 2 months would be a stretch, I’m currently sharing a house with my in laws so that’s helping us out.

zerbey,

Stay where you are as long as you can, that’s an amazing deal if it’s a good area.

zerbey,

The only groups I’m interested in died a death over a decade ago.

zerbey,

I must be weird, I kind of like that color.

What to backup so I can keep digitally signing with a gpg key pair

Hey so I’m new to the world of gpg/pgp. Using a test gpg key pair I created, the goal was to digitally sign a odf so I was wondering what do I backup so I could keep signing digitally using this key in case shit hits the fan and my computer no longer works? Using seahorse, I perfer it to the terminal, the options are to either...

zerbey,

Been using PGP for years, everything you said is correct. Create two keys so you have an extra one and make sure your second key is able to decrypt all files (just add it as a recipient).

zerbey,

Putin’s people got to him somehow, it was inevitable.

zerbey,

You are on a trip to disaster. Trust me, I do this for a living. One day you’re going to have a horrible surprise. I once had a guy get fired right there on a support call with me, he lost years worth of data because he wasn’t following good archival processes.

For consumer stuff:

  1. Buy a cheap NAS, plenty out there. Even one with just two drives is better than nothing (that’s what I do). Splurge and get one that does RAID-5, you’ll thank me one day. By the way, I’ve used WD stuff for a long time, and it’s been the most reliable in my experience even though their customer service is a shit show to deal with. 1a. A cheaper, but less effective option, just buy two drives and see if your BIOS supports RAID (most modern motherboards do). If not, well you can do it in you OS too, but hardware RAID is always better.
  2. Subscribe to a service like Google Drive, or One Drive, or Dropbox, or whatever you prefer. If you’re uncomfortable about putting stuff in the cloud then encrypt it first (VeraCrypt, GPG4Win, Password protected ZIP files even).

If you are running a business, definitely go with a good NAS, AND buy a tape library and get into a routine of rotating out the tapes and storing them off site (tapes are no use to you if your building get broken into, or burns down). And, use cloud storage too.

zerbey,

Most bathrooms have foot pulls now, it’s not a perfect solution for everyone but it’s better than the alternative.

zerbey,

Have you ever been sexually attracted to someone you found repulsive?

It happened to me recently at work. I don’t even find her physically attractive, and her personality is not what I’m into at all. But I was still somehow attracted to her - and she also was to me. She didn’t like me, and I certainly am not the kind of man she goes for. It’s like we had a strong connection in one area...

zerbey,

Of course, being good looking doesn’t make you a good person. Plenty of beautiful assholes out there.

Should i take my coworker up on his job offer?

My coworker recently told me he moonlights doing an online job while working our normal job. I asked him what he does and he said that it’s hard to explain but there’s a powerpoint that explains when i get hired. He said it’s all legal and we get paid $10 an hour and pay goes out every week. He showed me he’s made an...

zerbey,

Sounds like a scam, but hey hear him out it may be legit. Don’t draft that resignation letter just yet. I can tell you, with almost complete certainty, that it’s an MLM scheme and you should just walk away.

zerbey,

Cell to Singularity, 6500 hours and counting. In fairness, I don’t actively play it most of the time it just runs in the background churning away.

Is it safe to use a swollen battery(less swollen)

Sorry if asking wrong people but I’ve got a samsung galaxy j3 prime, its a really old phone and i lost its charger a year ago, after that until now I was charging it with a different cheap charger, and one day eventually while using the phone the back cover fells of(it has removable back) and then i realised that the battery...

zerbey,

No it is not, get rid of it and don’t attempt to charge it.

zerbey,

With general anesthesia nothing really, I remember them pushing the meds and a strange sensation as they did so, then the next thing I know I’m being wheeled back to recovery. All times I was still a kid, so may not be the experience an adult has.

Under twilight sedation I never go completely under and usually remember the whole thing, the last time it happened they said I had an unusually high tolerance to the medication. It was enough to keep me calm, but I was very much alert and so I just asked the surgeon to narrate what he was doing because it was honestly fascinating. All those experiences were for eye surgeries as an adult.

zerbey,

We’ve come full circle in a way, let’s hope this technology succeeds.

    zerbey,

    On my regular desktop PC? 1.5TB spread between three drives, not using half of it. My NAS has 4TB and I’m using about 80% of it so will need to upgrade that at some point. For a supposed IT professional I really don’t use that much storage.

    Probably another 2TB or so spread among the various servers and Raspberry Pis I have kicking around the place, but none of them are used for anything important.

    zerbey,

    I know a handful of people on WhatsApp, a handful more on Signal, and a single person on Telegram who is a bit strange and thinks the world is a simulation (he’s a hoot). So, basically I don’t use Telegram at all because the only person I know on there isn’t someone I’d want to communicate with anyway.

    zerbey, (edited )

    It’s Quake II, yes I’m old but they just remastered it and you should check it out. There’s a nice difficulty curve up until the last two levels, which are basically the easiest levels in the entire game. Seriously, the last boss which has been hyped up the entire game just stands in his corner shooting easy to dodge BFGs, and can be killed in about a minute, even faster if you use Quad damage.

    zerbey,

    Google gave me a list of countries as the top hit. Bing did the same. Whoever wrote this article has an agenda.
