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.
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:
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
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.
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.
I’ve been really impressed with the kbin PWA. I thought the experience would suck, but I’ve been adapting just fine. I used Slide on Android.
Terminal is even more impressive if used in full screen
Nice work, that looks really good and inspired me to try a few things on my desktop
