Comorbibbity babbity boo.

You’re the one who took what you heard as fact (you made a statement that said something happened that didn’t with no indication that it was fiction or urban legend) without checking but okay, stranger on the internet. A dumbass forum comment like yours doesn’t merit a literary analysis, get over yourself.

The lack of self-awareness is hilarious, so thanks for the chuckle. Some serious malding loser energy to take an offhand joke so damn personally.

I think you heard a fat joke and confused it with a fact.

Both spellings are correct as far as I’m aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d’unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.

If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.

Hopefully the Canadian ban is successfully challenged. It pretty clearly violates kids’ Charter rights and is a total privacy infringement on adults, too.

A court order shouldn’t be necessary for recovery in my opinion, that’s why 3-2-1 is a thing; the backup data should be relatively easily accessible so that operations are interrupted for as little time as possible. If legal action is near the top of the remediation protocol, it’s a bad protocol.

Metric ton (1000 kg), not imperial/long ton (2240 lbs) or US/short ton (2000 lbs).

Yeah, my education is in electrical engineering and industrial automation. I’ve grown up using computers and like to learn, but I’ve never had any formal education on the subject except for high school programming classes, an intro CS course using Scheme, and a Python 3 bootcamp on Udemy. Everything else that I know is just from hands-on experience and using a search engine.

For hosting services and managing my domain, only a basic understanding is necessary, so I don’t feel held back by it. I do wish that I could contribute to my favourite projects, though.

I know, dude. It’s an inside joke with a friend, if you care.

Either way, like under $2000 would have bought them the storage necessary to keep these backups on-site. They still would’ve needed another backup solution for redundancy purposes, but this wouldn’t be the huge issue it seems to be now, where the data is sort of in limbo.

I’m not completely wrong, it’s a joke! Isn’t it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect though? Upvotes, please!

No, but if you separately pay me $15/month, I’ll post in a different community every day about how you’re paying them €10/month.

Tatarstan is on the opposite side of Russia, by the way. Where many ethnic minorities live, such as those that the name implies, the Tatars.

Interesting target on part of the Ukrainian miitary since it’s generally just civilians in the area.

I mean… you could just ignore it.

I’ve had a job where the whole thing was removing dirt and nails from demolished barn boards. Genuinely zero skill involved, just a lot of time spent doing the same thing.

I guess you need eyes and hands? And the ability to show up. Those don’t feel much like skills though.

It really depends on how interesting the people are and how good they are at storytelling. I’ve met super annoying smart people and really entertaining dumb people so it’s not like intelligence is the determining factor.

I’d probably rather be hanging out with either the more interesting or more autistic group because I think we’d get along the best. If that makes me the idiot of the group, I don’t think that’s too bad of a deal.

So a few podcast apps support a service called gPodder, which provides cross-device syncing of subscriptions and episode progress, but the gPodder servers are slow and often time out, rendering the service useless.

oPodSync is essentially a drop-in replacement for gPodder. My use case is that I listen to podcasts on both my desktop and my phone, and I want episodes to be seamlessly accessible on both devices without having to manually do anything.

It’s very resource-light, so if you have any interest in podcasts at all it’s another piece of cool tech that gives you more control over your data. I used to use Player.FM, which is still a cool app, but I was paying them $13/year for a small handful of premium features I didn’t really think were worth that much.

Yeah, no worries if they’re not all useful to you. I still do the actual updates manually, Diun just tells me when to do them so I don’t have to routinely check project pages or follow an RSS feed.

I’ve been needing blood work done for literal years and I just keep putting it off or forgetting because I have ADHD. I am attempting to get it done this Wednesday because I have a doctor’s appointment next week. If I don’t get it done my doctor said I can’t get renewals on medication I need (including meds for ADHD lol) because the meds can cause all sorts of issues if you have high blood pressure or a high red blood cell count, etc. Womp.

If you’re open to an idea for your cats, what I’ve done is condition my cats to expect that they will be fed only when a specific alarm tone goes off at 5pm and at 9pm (my wife feeds them in the morning). I started doing it because they were whining for food at 3pm (2 hours early!) and it was so annoying, which seems similar to your situation. For best results, feed them immediately after the alarm and stay consistent. If you want to change the alarm tone later, go ahead, but expect confusion at first.

Ah, cool. Thanks for the additional info. I never kept up with Watchtower since Diun fit my needs. I’ll check out Degoog; I don’t mind several hundred line config files though, I usually go through all of the config/env settings prior to setting up a new service.
