Nice work, that looks really good and inspired me to try a few things on my desktop

I wanted to quit but couldn't. I read Allan carrs quit smoking book and how they described what the nicotine does did it for me.

It helped finally understanding how the addiction works, and how I was constantly just trying to get to a normal baseline of living that non smokers just lived at normally.

Ive tried vaping, gum, lozenges, cold Turkey, everything. Almost a year free from nicotine now, no regrets, not missing a damn thing.

Similar here, I actually comment occasionally. More than that, I've gone back to self hosting multiple things, I've shifted away from Google, all good changes I think. Prompted by reddit changing the api price, who would have thought they'd have such a positive influence on me.

Really mind blowing how few crimes are actually solved. I've had real world experience of being a robbery victim and there was absolutely no attempt at solving it.

Someone told me if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.

Anything important I keep in my Dropbox folder, so then I have a copy on my desktop, laptop, and in the cloud.

When I turn off my desktop, I use restic to backup my Dropbox folder to a local external hard drive, and then restic runs again to back up to Wasabi which is a storage service like amazon's S3.

Same exact process for when I turn off my laptop.. except sometimes I don't have my laptop external hd plugged in so that gets skipped.

So that's three local copies, two local backups, and two remote backup storage locations. Not bad.

Changes I might make:

• add another remote location
• rotate local physical backup device somewhere (that seems like a lot of work)
• move to next cloud or seafile instead of Dropbox

I used seafile for a long time but I couldn't keep it up so I switched to Dropbox.

Advice, thoughts welcome.

All I've been able to think about since I heard "X" lol

Good for you bud. That's awesome. I got one of those claw things with a handle that way I don't have to touch the trash or bend down every time, works great. Got it from Walgreens for like ten bucks.

Put on some headphones, put on a podcast, and I go wander around the beach. Feels good and is actually relaxing to me.

This is just one of the weirder comments I've read, like what did I just read here. Lol

Nah, still a great solution if you like. That was my solution for years until just about a month ago I switched to bitwarden because it seemed easier to protect with a yubikey. I've liked it so far.

I took the opportunity to export all my passwords from Firefox, chrome, and KeePass, then spent about a day cleaning the whole mess up and removing duplicates, THEN imported the csv into bitwarden. Still getting used to not using chrome/Firefox for auto filling and storing passwords, but I like that my passwords don't feel so spread out across multiple browsers/dbs.

I've used runbox for I don't know how many years now. They do support a catch-all, as I make up email addresses on the fly with my domain and it works just fine.

Sorry, now I created duplicate posts. Oh well, first try. Mainly because my hands are hurting more these days, and y'all seem to have a better way of doing things with a mech keyboard. Not so much what is wrong with it, but what is better that's out there. Thanks

Sorry, first ever post to kbin. I'd like to replace my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've used this keyboard for like 15 years, buying a new one every few years or so.

Can anyone recommend something to start with? I am so overwhelmed by ergo-mechs. My reason is my hands hurt, and it seems like y'all have found a better keyboard. Thank you so much, apologies again, this is my first post so obvs I don't know what I'm doing.

Awesome thanks. Also, now I have experience with my first notification since you tagged me. Learning!

How do I subscribe to a Lemmy community from kbin PWA?

There's a moment when I am googling and the most promising result that shows up is an answer on Reddit... Like ugh, how bad do I really want to know this answer. Gross.

I'd put an empty spacesuit from the Apollo era.

Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!

This is great watching the drama from my new "home" here on kbin. I'm so happy that you all are here too, giving me tons to read.
