I see no reason to move away from my synching/keepass setup, it's worked reliably for years and I expect it will continue to do so regardless of what happens with these services. It's nice they exist for less technical users

During lockdown I ripped my entire DVD collection using makemkv. It's as close to one click as you'll get and works brilliantly. All my DVDs are stored away now and I play them from Plex in full quality.

What a time to switch to Windows. It seems like walking into a burning building. My views softened on Windows after years of exclusive Linux use but after getting Windows 11 on a laptop I can't not see the end of the road and want to

I have about 11 years archived as annual maildir tarballs. I archive using thunderbird and export them when I remember to. I don't know why I bother, I almost never need anything from them.

I saw a Youtube video recently that looked like it was filmed using a late 90's webcam. The presenter looked too young to have owned it from new so I assumed it was a lo-fi aesthetic choice but having suffered those cameras at the time

since they can't have their brand's ampersand in a domain it seems better than the alternative: bandq, which isn't correct either.

I remember in the early days the idea of not having physical copies and trusting Steam to continue to provide access to your content was quite a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people. It's somewhat ironic that while they paved the w

I didn't get on with miniflux so I've been using Feeder for Android the past year or so and really like it. I also use Newsboat on desktop which is great but gets used less as I tend to consume feeds on mobile it seems.

It makes no sense, you hire a high end hitman who will make it look like a natural disaster and he goes and does both jobs before the weekend. Is there ball game on?

It's an oversimplification to say it is just about the cost of living, but its an easy to understand reduction of the problem that is far more complex and what I'm saying is that the consequences of high housing prices/rents

Have two kids, I always wanted a family around me and I love having them but I don't blame people for making other choices, it is very hard. We were 34 when we had our firstborn, 38 for 2nd, waiting to be financially stable enough, be

When I left Spotify I remember it being difficult at first, I went around to various competitors who were all objectively worse. I've been using YT music for a few years now too and while it is not as good by a long shot, it's goo

True, and this one has the luxury of living in a data centre kept at a constant 27C and never being moved or knocked over. As far as USB hard drives go, this one is living its best life.

I assumed that but then I've been torturing a usb WD 14TB drive for years with 24/7 writes backing up a busy logging server and it hasn't missed a beat. I guess it's just the luck of the draw?

I'm one of those million as I installed it last week and I've been impressed with it and podman as a whole. Just today I piped a cross-platform image from my M2 Mac running podman to an amd64 Linux server running Docker today and

My mother often talked about children she'd witnessed talking about their past lives. She believed it but I'm sceptical. Then my son started saying things like "when I was a girl" which seemed to confirm it and my mother

It depends how you use it, if you dont need to synchronise the database between machines (much) then KeePass is likely the easiest solution and works very well, beyond that Vaultwarden makes it easy to maintain a single centralised database

The cost in itself isn't a barrier, but it compounds hidden network effects making it a problem. I paid for Threema this month while looking for WA alternatives. I had to pay the money just to find out that absolutely nobody in my cont

yeah, it says I can commute in half an hour, but unfortunately it's 45 minutes on a good day at best. A little too optimistic for me.

Either they really don't understand IPv6 or they are creating a false scarecity to charge you more money for what is essentially a free and virtually infinite resource to them, probably both.

I doubt any amount of damages he'd get would even slightly sting Musk, the worst Musk will get is the bad press about this but that's already happening. At least the guy might get some legal cleasing from the stain Musk put on him

My uncle was the computer guy of the family. I remember playing on his Amstrad 1640 when I was very young. I always wanted a home computer desperately but my dad never had an interest or saw it useful to encourage my passion for it. It wasn
