As the title said, I customized my system according to what I liked. It’s probably a mess of features and design elements cobbled together from the OS’s I’ve used (or would like to use)....
I wanted to quit but couldn't. I read Allan carrs quit smoking book and how they described what the nicotine does did it for me.
It helped finally understanding how the addiction works, and how I was constantly just trying to get to a normal baseline of living that non smokers just lived at normally.
Ive tried vaping, gum, lozenges, cold Turkey, everything. Almost a year free from nicotine now, no regrets, not missing a damn thing.
Last month marked the official end of the Reddit protests. Any subreddit that had changed its rules or gone dark — or forced its users to post exclusively about John Oliver — has now gone back to normal. On the surface, it seems like a complete victory for Reddit, but things aren’t so simple when a major element of that...
Similar here, I actually comment occasionally. More than that, I've gone back to self hosting multiple things, I've shifted away from Google, all good changes I think. Prompted by reddit changing the api price, who would have thought they'd have such a positive influence on me.
Really mind blowing how few crimes are actually solved. I've had real world experience of being a robbery victim and there was absolutely no attempt at solving it.
Someone told me if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.
I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist....
Anything important I keep in my Dropbox folder, so then I have a copy on my desktop, laptop, and in the cloud.
When I turn off my desktop, I use restic to backup my Dropbox folder to a local external hard drive, and then restic runs again to back up to Wasabi which is a storage service like amazon's S3.
Same exact process for when I turn off my laptop.. except sometimes I don't have my laptop external hd plugged in so that gets skipped.
So that's three local copies, two local backups, and two remote backup storage locations. Not bad.
Changes I might make:
add another remote location
rotate local physical backup device somewhere (that seems like a lot of work)
move to next cloud or seafile instead of Dropbox
I used seafile for a long time but I couldn't keep it up so I switched to Dropbox.
Every time I walk outside I try to remember to bring a plastic bag with me so I can pick up whatever piece of trash I see on the ground. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword really, while it’s nice to take care of the earth around you it’s also quite sad to see just how much trash is around you at all times. Thankfully it...
Good for you bud. That's awesome. I got one of those claw things with a handle that way I don't have to touch the trash or bend down every time, works great. Got it from Walgreens for like ten bucks.
Put on some headphones, put on a podcast, and I go wander around the beach. Feels good and is actually relaxing to me.
Nah, still a great solution if you like. That was my solution for years until just about a month ago I switched to bitwarden because it seemed easier to protect with a yubikey. I've liked it so far.
I took the opportunity to export all my passwords from Firefox, chrome, and KeePass, then spent about a day cleaning the whole mess up and removing duplicates, THEN imported the csv into bitwarden. Still getting used to not using chrome/Firefox for auto filling and storing passwords, but I like that my passwords don't feel so spread out across multiple browsers/dbs.
I've used runbox for I don't know how many years now. They do support a catch-all, as I make up email addresses on the fly with my domain and it works just fine.
I have a cheap Fujitsu Futro S920 running a bunch of services here, but I noticed, that for some tasks its rather weak (and old) CPU simply can’t keep up. The lack of SATA is another weak point....
1password is a password manager, like bitwarden and KeePass. You may have heard of LastPass which is also a password manager, but LastPass I would not recommend.
Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I’m still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I’m paranoid and sorry if...
More importantly you'd want at least 1gb of ram. Most hosts sell plans based on ram/CPU, as disk space is the cheaper part. As an example, right now for $6 usd/month you can get 1 GiB Memory, 25 GiB Storage, 1,000 GiB Bandwidth from digital ocean.
That's plenty of disk space to get started with, 25gb.
Sorry, first ever post to kbin. I'd like to replace my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've used this keyboard for like 15 years, buying a new one every few years or so.
Can anyone recommend something to start with? I am so overwhelmed by ergo-mechs. My reason is my hands hurt, and it seems like y'all have found a better keyboard. Thank you so much, apologies again, this is my first post so obvs I don't know what I'm doing.
Sorry, now I created duplicate posts. Oh well, first try. Mainly because my hands are hurting more these days, and y'all seem to have a better way of doing things with a mech keyboard. Not so much what is wrong with it, but what is better that's out there. Thanks
There's a moment when I am googling and the most promising result that shows up is an answer on Reddit... Like ugh, how bad do I really want to know this answer. Gross.
Got suspended for criticising spez. So now I'm spending my time here and have already setup communities for !pathfinder2e and !talesfromretail. Good riddance to Reddit.
Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!
I hate feeling like I'm just a number to every business, person, or company. Every transaction feels like they just have to do the absolute bare minimum, and if they don't even accomplish that, it doesn't matter because I'm just a number.

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
For me i would just place like random paintings, like NASA would be very confused on why Mars would have paintings lmao.
Does anybody else feel dirty when they visit reddit?
I don't know man, but I feel like I'm supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.
