Signal. I use it anyway so it's not an extra "bloated" app and I know all the secrets I send over the app are encrypted.

If you use a password manager, most have a notes feature that works well too.

Yes I have tried whole grains and they still taste sweet to me

Even so, its still difficult to avoid sugar in normal foods like bread. Even the nicer bread brands still have some amount of added sugar and I can taste it

Wasn't this exact scenario posted to r/talesfromtechsupport a few years ago? It sounds very familiar

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's true. i do sometimes have issues with the ZFS package not compiling because of a too new kernel not being supported yet.

Hmm, I put ketchup on scrambled eggs in the morning.

We have speed limits for a reason, why does everyone insist on ignoring them? Serious question, as I live in a mountainous area and cars are constantly crashing because people insist on speeding. The roads are winding and narrow with lots of traffic and wildlife, so you never really know what's around the bend.

I use ext4 for all boot drives and root filesystems. Anything really important goes on a ZFS array. And for my Linux isos, I use a drive with ext4 + snapraid. The parity drive has xfs because ext4 has a 16tb file size limit.

Got rid of anything NTFS as it was unreliable and slow on Linux.

I live in a national park and the Govt just awarded a contract to a private company to build a fiber line to the villages for high speed internet, and the company building the thing will own the network while the govt is stuck paying the bill forever. So stupid imho. No private company should own a network that exists entirely on federal land, and everyone depends on .

I had a cis major and I didn't have issues using Linux all that often. One class we had to write code in VisualStudio, before the Linux version existed. My professor was fine with me using my own IDE as long as the code compiled on Windows, which it did after adding about 3 lines of code to the start.

If we had shared documents they went in Google docs, and libre office, (open office at the time) docs were exported as PDF before submitting. I also had a Windows 10 VM ready to go just in case, but rarely used it.

 

In light of the recently announced price increase, I'm seriously considering moving all my backups from B2 to Storj as Storj is only charging $0.004/GB . As it's mostly just a backup, I don't really need the free egress and I travel a lot so not being tied to a single DC location is also appealing. What do you guys think? Anyone using Storj? What has your experience been like so far?
