Man has his priorities right.

It looks like outerbase studio is primarily written in typescript where adminer is php.

Did you play Penguin? That was the coolest game.

Omg TI-83 for me! Then school admins got all pissed about it and banned it. So the exact game was changed to be Candy Wars. Exact same mechanics except drug names were changed to candy.

Networking is the best way to get a job. If you aren’t going to meetups or making connections, it’s going to be much harder for you to find a job.

I say this as a very extreme introvert so I know the pain.

Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.

There is no “don’t ask me again”. Every fucking time I have to select “Not now”.

I’ve come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.

Waterfox works great on Android.

Looks like you double posted. I’m going to delete this post which has less points.

Mozilla is changing the license used for the Firefox executable/binary. The TOS will be the governing license over Firefox, the branded browser executable. It will no longer be open source, as defined by the Open Source Initiative, as users are no longer free to use the software however they want. Firefox will now be source available.

The source code for the browser, is (at least as of this comment) FOSS under the MPL2 license. People are free to recompile the browser under a different name (e.g. Librewolf, Waterfox, etc.).

This is not FUD. I read through the new TOS, Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy. Since the browser executable was governed under the MPL2, there was little concern from the open source community. I made my judgement from those documents alone.

To paraphrase an impeached president:

When a corporation does it, it’s not illegal.

Edit: corrected the impeachment status of the president making the quote.

Yeah but it’s a corporation. They get more rights than us humans.

Oh matey. I literally just went through this and debated putting together a blog post or similar.

I’m not at my computer so I’m typing this from my phone.

The TL;DR: you need to decide whether you’ll pay for the security by paying for restore upfront, or when you need it.

Since I yarr most of if not all my content, I did not worry about backing up my TV shows or movies. I take a directory listing of my jellyfin and back that up weekly. Music is small enough that I do back this up.

Cloud cost is abstract and hard to compare apples to apples. But the biggest thing you’ll need to decide is how likely will you need to do a cloud restore. The more robust your on-prem backups the less likely you’ll need them so I personally went with AWS S3 using rclone. Glacier cold storage is super cheap and for my needs I’m paying roughly $2-3 a month. The catch is if I need a restore, I’ll have to pay for the S3 retrieval and then the egress which can be roughly $60 one time.

For companies like Backblaze, you pay roughly $60 annual for about 2TB of hot storage, which includes egress 3 times.

I prefer to save the $40 difference year over year, and instead put that in a budget for a break-glass situation.

In terms of hardware, some people recommend buying different brands with the same storage size. Others recommend spacing out your hard drive purchases so that they don’t all fail at the same time. I prefer the latter.

Hope that points you in the right direction

Didn’t the MAGA insurrection use Signal to coordinate their efforts?

Wait wait…yes, follow dear leader to an app that keeps your history and doesn’t encrypt at rest. You have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.

What software are you using? Have you tried vlc?
