We tend to forget that all of that is to support people. Tech shouldn’t be an end goal, merely one of the ways to achieve it. And not always the best one at that.

Truely a nice one. The community around it is quite cool as well.

I can relate to the guy that had to put that number in. Prolly went along the lines of « can we get some budget to identify our various processing activities and what processors are involved ? »… to what management said « lol no just put the overall numbers in ». And the guy included the kitchen company in there because fuck it.

Haaaa yeah the kindle. Both loved and hated in my case. Love the form factor, allowing me to indulge in new books. Hate it because I don’t get new physical books anymore. Not that I have any room left for books; that’s the reason I bought the kindle in the first place…

Well they are very good in getting me triggered even though I’m 12000 km away and not concerned by those shenanigans. It’s soooo infuriating.

Holyshit aren’t you guys very big on whatever the amendment that guarantees you free speech ? How’s this not a blatant violation of free speech ?

All according to the plan then? You guys going in civil war would be perfect for other interests…

As long as no sourcerer drops by :)

Yeah definitely a good idea. Routing your mobile traffic through it so your carrier cannot access your traffic and the services you don’t want to share location with can’t snoop as much on you.

I’d say it’s about designing a good strategy. I have local backups on my NAS and a nightly incremental backup to cloud locations from there. That way the capture from my local equipment to the NAS is lightning fast and it’s not a big deal to have it take a few hours to reach the cloud. Also having a NAS on a power backup is a must-have.

True, it’s not at all stage where it’s likely to be a problem. The army of very old persons isn’t at the door just yet ;-)

Same for me. I started to chit chat a bit here and there just to have some more activity but I miss a community I like to be part of.

True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.

Meh. Not like there are shareholders to appraise of growth…

Security cameras with a central continuous recording system + alerts and automations… plenty of fun to be had. Also wifi access points on poe depending on the interface speed. Got those 2 at home and it has been a treat so far.

Amongst all my hobbies (am kind of a serial hobbyist…) I think fishing is the one that turns out the most expensive compared to my initial assumption.

Started with trout fishing into fly fishing the lure then carp… daaamn now I’m looking into a bassboat or a kayak…

Fishing. It’s outside, you get to meet interesting persons, there is a collection side in it and you can reach modest goals which is doing a lot of good.

Those I’ll need to check especially the vst host. Nice :)

I slipped maybe twice by accident via google search results but that’s it. Until I need to get opinions to buy something it will be okay I guess.

Nhaaaa that’s okay I live high enough not to have the water on my doorstep. The refugees though that will be annoying.
