@PhilippBayer 🙁❤️
@akkartik rsync.net looks very interesting. thanks!
both too much and too little wealth are terrible for people. the very rich have it all, but most of them have completely lost it.
@realcaseyrollins I keep backups on local drives (I think I’d rsync rather than sftp), but I do want to “cloud sync” to know there are off-site copies of important things (if some disaster struck my home) and to be able to access documents on the go.
@akkartik I backup locally as well, but only to one drive so far. I’m feeling like I should oscillate between two, because who knows if the backup drive is good? But I basically like to know what’s essential to me is on my main machine, a local backup, and a cloud sync service. For the cloud piece, it’s really storage that’s the bottleneck. I could just rsync if the space weren’t so expensive. (It’s also helpful to be able to access documents from the phone when I’m out and about, though.)
I dropped dropbox for sync.com, but I’m having problems now with sync.com. Any other recommendations for this kind of service?
I’d think about self-hosting, but I don’t know an economical way of setting up a server with ~2TB of not-cold storage.
(I don’t want to physically self-host. I want sync and backup reliably available if my house burns down and when I travel.)
You can get a decision with no impact to your credit score.
When you think a person is extremely wrong, but the whole reason you do the things you do is in hopes you'll make some small difference so that people like him can look back and say they were right all along.

My wife plays with Chat GPT as an interpreter of dreams. The results are surprisingly lucid and compelling. “Hallucination” and confabulation are basically the job, in this context features rather than flaws. Astrologers also may need to seek alternative employment.

"Like 1980s televangelism with its gold-plated cowboy boots, mansions, private jets, and a dose of of God on the side, bitcoin is all about the price chart with a small helping of cypherpunk ideology." @jp_koning https://jpkoning.blogspot.com/2024/01/do-bitcoin-etfs-conflict-with-bitcoins.html

A form-letter e-mail from the campaign of or a PAC supporting Donal Trump (it say from "President Trump") whose subject line is "I want to meet %First%", presumably a template key for first name that the sender failed to replace.

it’s darkly amusing that the contemporary Republican Party can be characterized as RINOs vs Rhinos. https://www.kkoworld.com/kitablar/ejen-ionesko-kergedan-eng.pdf
So, my wasted day, it turns out there are mysterious incompatibilities between BlueHost and Apple Mail. (With Spectrum maybe somehow in the mix as well?)

@paninid definitely. people are not persuaded by just the arguments they hear, but by the communities they belong to. belonging to a place like here, participating and finding some real fellowship here, rather than a place like there, is a step towards opening up to better ways.
