He’s so weird

Weird

Me too. But mostly because I’m poor and can only afford food and rent. For now.

Mechanical pencils are vapes?

That’s my bad. I set the bar too low.

This is a really good article that should probably be a few articles.

US vice-president JD Vance last week lashed out at Romanian authorities for annulling a presidential election, as an example of an alleged crackdown on rightwing politicians threatening Europe’s democracy “from within”. The country’s constitutional court in December said it took the unprecedented step because the electoral process had been “flawed” by a highly sophisticated social media campaign suspected of having been co-ordinated by Moscow.

I’m having a hard time wording my comment, so forgive the clumsiness. I’m finding it very interesting that for this particular application, we may not have the nerds well distributed enough. Though, we should, since the distribution part is the point.

Nice. Now, let me go brush my teeth to stave the decay.

True, but there are some areas in the deep South where Calothicism is a big cultural influence. However, there is also quite a bit of friction between Calothicism and some more evangelical groups in those same areas.

I think this could at least cause some meaningful friction to public opinion in some very Pro-Trumo areas. Who knows how things will land while people resolve their confrontation with the cognitive dissonance, but friction is good.

Goauld is an alien parasite in Stargate. That’s where my brain went.

Don’t forget to update the safety brief before takeoff. We can go over how to use a seat belt and how to use the emergency Glock.

I came here to say this. I thought humans made the rules!

Is there a Lemmy fednews? I’ve been lurking on reddit solely for this news, but noticed a distinct change in tone in the past few days, and I think they may be drowning in muskrats before too long.

Thanks!

Yes! split-tunneling was the term I was looking for.

Good-enough is exactly what I’m going for, lol. I will get an SSD for backup.

VPN issue – my phone runs VPN regardless of whether I am at home or not, so I would still need to be able to route synchthing outside of the VPN traffic to be recognized as being at home?

I don’t need much space for pictures. I’m at 30 GB I believe. But outside of pictures I could also backup other data and maybe get to around 100 gb.

I’m going to guess that cronjobs allow you to schedule batch scripts to run at certain times of the day. So, as an example, you could rsync copy your library to another location in an automated way.

I’m willing to accept some risk of loss to get off Google, but would like to minimize the risk within my means (not much means). I’m not concerned about theft, nor fire. If I want to avoid hardware failure, I need to purchase an external storage space and back the data up there. I think with the quantity of data I have, I could spend $80-$100 USD for a SSD, and be well covered space wise.

Thoughts? And let me know if I interpreted anything you said wrong. I do computer stuff, but have always had to trust others for this part of things.

1. does synchthing have the same VPN issue? I was separately planning to do synchthing to backup my RSS lists, podcast subs, and some other smaller things.

2. I wasn’t considering this as part of my backup strategy. I hadn’t gotten that far yet, but one of the tutorials I was looking at mentioned backup strategy as the next step. I’d love to hear your recommendations on this. Backups is obviously the big thing I’m loosing moving off of photos.

Haha, friend. You may not feel like it’s expertise, but I’m telling you, your information is valuable and not everybody knows it. We all need to learn on others right now for many reasons. Keep it up, and you’re making a difference whether you realize it or not.

What is TailsOS? Is it easy? I want to reduce the barrier to entry for being safe online. I think a lot of people don’t know where to start, so they get overwhelmed with complex solutions. They end up giving up before they get started. So I’m trying to convince people by helping them do easy things. Maybe TailsOS is a lesson two kinda thing?
