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.
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.
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:
I used seafile for a long time but I couldn't keep it up so I switched to Dropbox.
Advice, thoughts welcome.
All I've been able to think about since I heard "X" lol
This is just one of the weirder comments I've read, like what did I just read here. Lol
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.
Awesome thanks. Also, now I have experience with my first notification since you tagged me. Learning!
How do I subscribe to a Lemmy community from kbin PWA?
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!
Nice work, that looks really good and inspired me to try a few things on my desktop
