Darknet Diaries is such a great podcast.

In the UK, your bank will cover losses to card fraud for quite a large amount. Your banking app can send instant notifications for every card transaction too.

It would work just as well if the icons were flipped. Would that come across better?

I can see the implicit sexism of implying the girl is the less informed. But I’ve also got a problem with gate keeping in the community. Someone might say they are focusing on privacy and use incognito chrome, but they’re ideologically still on your “team”…they’re just a bit behind in their journey and need to find out more about working their way up to making the real meaningful changes. Help em out.

Why is this something widespread? I did chemistry up till A-levels and no one ever asked me to memorise the periodic table and no one gave a shit about committing it to memory. WTF is going on.

Scanning for loss…

No loss detected

I’m using Calibre web to organise books, convert format and download metadata; and then use Kavita to read my books/comics. Works great.

“Thank you for your encouragement and seeing the real me”

Same with music. And video games. And writing books (self-publish to Amazon for pay-per-read). Content creation technology/platforms are very readily available now.

There’s more good stuff to find than ever. It’s just that it’s hard to find. There’s too much volume of content out there to sift through, and mainstream tastes have changed so it isn’t as easy to find since the stuff that’s popular really isn’t your taste. You likely liked the stuff that’s was popular back then. Look harder. Find the niche like-minded communities. Look for content related to what you already like. There are tons of new good movies, games, music, etc out now and you just need to find it. Even for news you can find the sources you like and filter out toxicity.

You brought this upon her! I hope you’re ashamed of yourself.

My organisation has fired a bunch of people and plans to replace them completely with AI. They’re pushing us to use it. Soon it will be mandatory to use ambient, always on AI for all information recording. There’s mention of working areas AI camera surveillance to monitor for efficient use of man hours (don’t know whether the tech is developed enough for this or how practical this is). The guy working above me is doing some sort of degree in implementation of AI in business and his answer to a lot of problems is “AI could probably do that for us”. Meanwhile we get training to tell us that we will personally be held accountable for any errors in the AI output we use, and we will be held responsible if we input any information that was would be deemed confidential or sensitive. BTW, copilot is already activated for all our work outlook, calendar and one drive accounts and has all that data; so not sure what would be considered more sensitive information to give.

Synology. Although I’m sure other ready made NAS machines will probably work and be chapter if you want to explore.

Toilet water is literally right there. If it was good enough for Steve Jobs, then it’s good enough for you.

I’ve gotten good at avoiding being Rick Rolled. But this catches me out way too often.

The state’s attempt to control our every action has gone too far. I call for anarchy.

“Make people study”? You’re mistaken. No one is making anyone study.

Charge people to study? You bet your ass they’ll take as many people as are willing to pay their overpriced fees. Finding a job after? Getting decent pay? That’s a you problem as far as they’re concerned.

Bring a whole laptop to play games? Get a Steam Deck! Or if you want a smaller form.factor then get a Retroid Pocket 6.

Other than this:

1. Learn something (language, art, etc)
2. Read something
3. Listen to podcasts
4. If it’s a private office then do a Costanza and sleep under your desk
5. Watch TV shows or movies
6. Take up knitting or crochet

I’m not the person you asked the question of. I’m a fellow novice homelaber.

I use Kopia to backup my data folders and Docker container data. Works really well. The project for this weekend is to set offsite backups to be uploaded to iDrive.

When I update I use this:

sudo apt update && \ sudo apt upgrade -y && \ sudo apt full-upgrade -y && \ flatpak update -y 2>/dev/null; \ sudo apt autoremove -y && \ sudo apt autoclean && \ sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=7d

Twin stick shooters/bullet hell games are different though.

And I found enter the Gungeon before Nuclear Throne, and somehow was always drawn back to Gungeon. Blazing beaks was fun though.
