Idk what to say to you other than you’re being intentionally flippant. These are very simply things to search for online. The fact that I linked items proving my price claims are accurate and you sit there and move the goal posts and change the subject is the most moronic thing I have ever seen.

Go touch some grass and then find something else to occupy your time with.

And that’s completely valid, but I just want to warn others that physical items deteriorate.

I’m currently digitally archiving photos of my great-great grandparents. You know how disappointing it is to have these photos, but then see they are all water damaged or torn or crumbled to all hell because of improper storage? Some scans are ok, others are terrible and will require work on my end to restore them digitally.

I’m sure we have thousands of digital photos of ourselves, but how many of those are backed up properly? How many of us will be regretting not backing things up properly and we can’t share these photos with our grandkids or great grandkids or to reminisce because our phones died or Instagram shutdown or we stopped paying for iCloud?

All I’m saying is take your Polaroids, but also take plenty of digital photos and back them up as well.

I cut/paste a single file or folder, depending on my mood, out of a directory that is backed up and then do a PULL/sync through the TrueNAS GUI from Backblaze

Not sure on Synology…I’m sure there is a method though

Please at least Google something before talking out of your ass

Yes, and yes. I’m running TrueNAS and I test a restore once a quarter or so, worst case once every 6 months.

I haven’t had to do a full restore…so that’ll be the true test, but I do have a sister TrueNAS at an off-site location for off-site backups. I went simple with this off-site one and just use Tailscale and Syncthing.

This has been the biggest and dumbest take I’ve seen come from the GenZ/GenA crowd. Polaroids were a big hit a few years ago and I can’t help but wince at this stuff. Yeah it’s cute or whatever to hold it in your hand, but in 1, 5, 10, 30 years…when that photo or DVD is bent/scratched/lost, you’ll be kicking yourself in the ass for even bothering with it.

Just pirate your content, take photos with your $1000 phones and print the photos out, and learn to backup your own shit. Buy a 2 bay NAS and backup your shit to it. And then backup your NAS to a cloud like backblaze.

My dad has been doing this since the early 2000s. We have our family photos AND videos from 1990-2026 all backed up on a NAS, which syncs to backblaze. ~600GBs of data. And the cloud backup on backblaze is $7.25 a month for that data.

Literally anyone can go buy a a $200 2-bay NAS, then grab two 1TB hard drives for $40 each. $280 for a NAS that will last you YEARS. And then figure out whatever service you want to backup to for a cloud backup.

I’ve already switched over to LibreWolf a month or two ago. Clean, simple, and it just works.

No idea, I never used screen sharing on Discord unless it was a very rare occasion to share my view when playing a specific game. So, I’m not the right person to ask…sorry

Matrix the protocol, yeah, is fine. The clients? Only Element Classic seems to work decently on Android, the newer one sucks. The other half dozen clients are atrocious. On desktop Element is fine, but I was experiencing extreme latency, however that was during the initial “rush” to find a Discord alternative a week or so ago.

But, my biggest gripe is trying to explain what Matrix is to other people. Then have to explain what federation is, then the fediverse. Then I get dumb questions of “Why do I need to create a Matrix account to use Element? Can’t I just use a Element account?” which either means they didn’t understand my previous explanation or they weren’t paying attention.

With Fluxer or Root or whatever, I can say “Go make an account on Fluxer.app and then go use the web version until the app is released” and everyone understands that just fine.

This is my take. Fluxer and Root are the top two for my group, but they need more time in the oven(hell, everything does).

So far I’ve uninstalled discord on my devices and I’m using it via the web browser only in a container tab, until my group switches over to something else.

Can’t fucking wait to delete my account.

So it’s all your fault then?

Guys, get him!

My highschool, which I graduated mid 2010s, didn’t have lockers.

We had gym lockers, which was just to put our stuff for that one gym period, it wasn’t “our own”.

So, no. Not all highschools have lockers.

Personal anecdote here, so grain of salt.

But I was born in the mid90s. My dad is a tech geek, so we had a personal computer with Windows 95 and I was playing Adiboo on it at 2-3 years old. Also had a Gameboy with Pokemon. Played CS/HL/DOD in the early 2000s. All before we were going to the computer lab at my school.

So I’ve been entrenched in computers and tech my whole life. So I don’t think screen time itself is bad, but we also did not have tech in the classroom (except for the old school throw projectors).

So it probably doesn’t help that the classroom nowadays is all tech while also the kid’s home is all tech. It’s a balancing act.

Yup, I just bought a Framework and bought their 240w charger.

Granted I bought the 13 not the 16, so it can’t use all of it, but it exists!

I tried logging in to use the Marketplace to sell some shit. For whatever reason I couldn’t access it. My account is verified, location is set, and some marketplace settings pages said my account is in good standing. Sent a request to support weeks ago and heard nothing.

So I just throw shit away now. Like I WANT to use your platform, but you’re not letting me. Bye.

1. The printer doesn’t know what it is printing, the slicer does, and at that point just use an open source slicer
2. Just drive to Arizona, Nevada, or Oregon, buy a printer, and drive back, The MicroCenter in Phoenix just opened up.

Yeah, we should also ban anyone under 25 from voting too! Brain isn’t fully developed! Reeeee!

Meh, emulate it and get better frame rates and higher resolution.

Why would I buy a console that plays the game at an inferior state?

Nintendo is free at any time to release their games on Steam or even their own PC storefront and if I could play it with my hardware then I’d buy most games at full price.

Until then, nah I’m good.
