I do this, works exceptionally well. It also works via a USB key.

Three things that have bitten me recently: 1. beware of encryption, especially Microsoft and Apple. I've encrypted Apple disk images with lost passwords, and USB drives that I'm not sure I'll ever decrypt now that I've m

That is unfortunate for both symlinks and for a lack of LAN sync. Not having the ability to deal with anything I throw at it does add risk that the sync isn't true, but outside of the OS I don't use symlinks. LAN sync would save d

Thanks for sharing, I didn't find this option when I looked. This might be a winner for my uses.

Both Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive have had mass file loss events. Local LAN sync is hugely useful too. Upload speed matters, as does conflict resolution. These are features worth paying for.

I'm actively looking. NextCloud is on my list of maybes, as is S3 or S3-compatible services like OVH. I'm using Fastmail files as a stopgap via WebDav, but it's slow, doesn't give offline files, and I'll need to rig

The end result of this will be myself as an adult no longer buying games, as I valid my data privacy and security more than interactive entertainment unless I can self-certify without a third-party service or sharing official documents. I p

I noticed this too. It makes all their articles look like self-promotion.

The 'send' example perfectly illustrates why I would find Material 3 hard to use - it makes it harder to write the message but easier to send. It's less usable.

Zone 2-3 here; Deliveroo is the only service that failed to even turn up, delivered to the wrong address then tried to blame me for "putting a pin in the wrong place" which I did not. Worse service ever.

Here in London, we've already boycotted all the services except Dominoes. Poor practices, delivery to wrong addresses, cold food, worse quality compared to eat-out, and items often missing. It's quicker and better for me to hike u

This. A grouped agenda style would be really good, if it can handle repeated entries properly. On Android I exclusively use agenda mode but it's quite cluttered with recurring events.

I see the benefits in this, it's an interesting concept. I'd find it more useful if it didn't need to scroll on desktop. There's so much whitespace on the sides that could be better used on non-mobile form factors. I use

We use a Roku, which we found out yesterday supports AirPlay from an iPad. It's an old model though, not sure if the newer ones do.

For me, if I click into a post it dims grey and refuses to do anything. It's very user-hostile.

It's just another Chromium browser.

I'm in the top 4% this year based on a Q/A I wrote in 2021 which it gathers a few votes a month. The ranking is an indicator of how pointless SO has become if I'm globally in the top 4% this year having posted nothing. For me

Surprisingly zero on one domain. Not because it's ineffective, but because it hasn't leaked as far as I can tell. The other however has leaked, but that's because it's designed to - it's for social media where the e

I get surprisingly little. There's about 15 addresses that are persistent, and they're all caught by the spam filters. The most important job is to set up SPF and DKIM properly so spammers can't impersonate your domain and se

I run with a custom domain and a catch-all email rule, so all inbound mail goes to the same inbox, so I can use whatever@domain.com. Maybe it's still trackable but at least helps identify leaks.

I have the Pro-I and I get 3+ days on a charge. Right now it reports 21 hours since 100%, and 3 days left. It's been excellent.

No, just the basics is enough, and has been enough for me for almost 30 years. The move to containerised services has reduced the need to SSH to servers for the most part. Personally I've enjoyed using Emacs more. With a good setup I h

One thing you can do is add a canonical to each page, which will help solve the the Bing/Google issue until they realise it's there. Do it before they add one. You're already using Cloudflare, you could try talking to their s

You can get banned from gmail but not all email. There are plenty of alternatives to Google.

This feels a little like "the cathedral and the bazaar" in the sense that it's either controlled by a small group or allowed to fragment and grow organically in a less structured, organised-chaos model. There are pros and con

Ads don't pay for the Internet, they pay for content. The problem is that's it's highly intrusive and mostly unimaginative leading to a negative sentiment. It's also pushing content that I haven't asked for, product

Ironically, it was the walled garden that kept me on Apple for so long. Having at least the illusion that apps were safe and secure gave me some confidence that most of the apps are reasonably safe does remove stress and means I don't

I don't think the French government care much because the EU gives them more bargaining power. If they were bound beyond political pressure then we'd have French or EU embargos against Cuba for the last 60 years. France doesn&#x27
