The fact I actually get this because I’m taking linear algebra right now 😭

Wow! That’s really cool! Good for the devs at TreeStyleTab!!!

I’m scared if I bookmark it I’ll forget about its existence or it’ll get lost in the thousands of other bookmarks I have

…27 would be an accomplishment for me… I have tabs in the hundreds

This is genuinely terrifying

M. Night Shyamalan voice What a twist!

It’s a pretty popular writing software, though you mainly hear about it in writing circles so that might be why you never heard of it.

I LOVE NOT FOR BROADCAST! I was there when it was just episode one. I really need to finish it but I haven’t found the time

I loved Killer Frequency! I made a post talking about it.

I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter brand

That’s fair. I feel like bloat would be the wrong term to use in regards to a search engine though 😅

1. Data that absolutely must be backed up.

2. Data that would be nice to have backed up, but you can live without if the worst happens.

I’d then recommend setting up a solution that you can then immediately start using to store data that fits into the first category I’ve listed above. Once you have that in place, you can then, over time (because these things do take time), start shifting existing data that fits into Category 1, over to this new setup.

That is a really good way to break things down. My folders of modded games take quite a bit to backup. I can probably skip the files of the mods themselves for a while because while they’d be nice to have because it’s a pain to redownload them, I can live with having to redownload them.

A more ideal setup, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and deep-dive into the world of self-hosting, would be to save up for something like a Dell optiplex PC. Set this up at home with something like Nextcloud so that you can have your data sync between you Windows, Mac and Nextcloud server. And then, depending on the configurability of your home router, set up a Wireguard or OpenVPN server on the optiplex so you can VPN to your Nextcloud server from your laptop when you are away from home.

I’d like to explore self-hosting someday and I’ve heard good things about NextCloud, but doesn’t this kind of defeat the purpose of having a cloud backup since I’d want it to be offsite?

Backblaze needs to see your computer once every 6 months, and any external hard drives you’re backing up every 30 days.

I have ADHD so this is the part that concerns me the most.

I’m also a bit worried about the time it’ll take. Especially since I have quite a bit of stuff to back up and I don’t want to have my computer and drives running for days, and I don’t want to feel like I can’t use my computer in that time period.

That’s…really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it’s pricey)

His apology “for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused” was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a “political litmus test”.

He’s shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?

Wait why would the search engine be the bloat part?

How do you know which language to use? And how do you know if you should stick to a language that you already know or if you should learn a new one?

Sorry if this is a dumb question I only just finished my first year of being a comp sci major

Threads had no discovery features?! Jesus Christ…

Fwiw this is about Brave Search, not the Brave Browser

I have one of those, except it can play other old retro games too!
