I use Kopia to perform incremental encrypted backups (with some retention policy of up to two years) and store them on Backblaze B2, which is reasonably cheap.

That’s what I like about Siyuan and Affine. I can have journal-like daily notes to quickly dump thoughts, but I can then re-arrange or cross-reference individual blocks in(to) other pages, that in turn can be in a nested folder structure and/or tagged. I can quite flexibly mix and match organization structures.

That, on the other hand, is only viable, if you are sure, data never needs to expire. Dedicated backup solutions work with retention policies.

Where I could see an LLM being useful is categorizing entries and maybe proposing sanitization (for example when the payment provider uppercases or abbreviates stuff)

The cheat developers, yes. Because there is demand. The question though was, why there is demand.

From maybe to definitely not.

SiYuan or Affine. Both have daily notes and normal notes. You can move and reference blocks between documents. That way I can start unstructured (just bullet points in a daily note) and then later either add cross references or start moving it into structured notes directly.

If you like Lord of the Rings: Lord of the Rings Online is extremely nice story wise. It’s an old school MMO, but that shouldn’t shock you when you only know old school ones anyway.

If a low initial fee is fine, wait for Elder Scrolls Online sale. You can regularly get the base game for $5 or so. It has no forced monthly cost so those $5 are worth hundreds of hours or quest content.

It’s really sad. I truly believe that Yves (or rather the Guillemots in general) were passionate about game development once. Now it feels mostly corporate, even though they still claim to be pro-gamer and innovative and fun. It’s double sad because they acquired quite some good studios that have to be shaped into their corp structure and ultimately lose their innovation. It’s not as bad as old-school EA, but it’s still subjectively bad.

Just to clarify: OwnCloud or OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS)?

Probably some fastboot shit. I like the idea of fastboot… if only it wasn’t so tied to Windows.

The ONLY thing I don’t like about it is having to finish the install of windows before you can wipe the ssd.

Why? Can’t you get to the bios, change to usb boot loader, boot linux and wipe the disk?

I think it’s not that easy. From what I understand, the payment providers enforce that for the whole store, otherwise they don’t want to be involved. Quite shitty, but they have enough weight to pull shit like that off.

If your client(s) accept irregularly changing remote certs (i.e. they don’t do cert pinning), it should work. If both cloudflare and you use the same CA, it would likely work even with cert pinning. Certainly possible, but increases the complexity of the overall setup.

Possible, true. But then the setup also becomes more complicated. In addition you end up with different certs for local and remote access, which could cause issues with clients if they try to enforce cert pinning for example.

Cloudflare tunnel likely terminates TLS on the edge. So if you bypass it, you don’t have HTTPS. Not a problem locally, but then destroys the portability of the URL (because at home you need http and outside you need https). Might as well use different hosts then.

If it sells well on Steam, it also rises in the charts there, becoming more visible to an even larger audience. While the margin is lower due to the cost of the store, the profit might still heavily exceed the alternative (and since there’s no per unit cost for software, that’s quite nice).

For me the desire to put up with the effort to cook something came, when I bought a Ninja Speedi… because the time reduces to pretty much throwing the ingredients together. Pick something to cook (potatoes, vegetables, pasta, rice,…) and throw it in the bottom. Put the divider in and put the thing to fry at the top (meat, fries, veggy pattie, whatever). A bit of water in the bottom, timer to 12 mins, temp to 180°C and hit start. 16 or so minutes later you have your meal. It starts to heat the water to produce steam and then turns on the recirculating heat for the configured time, so your food gets steamed and fried at the same time. Not having to juggle different pots and pans at the same time made cooking much more pleasant.

it doesn’t matter

Hehe.

Anyway, I am also completely on Zigbee. While I like the concept of Matter over Thread, I wouldn’t want to switch, because it will start with a too small network to cover a good distance and if I start replacing Zigbee devices, I effectively sabotage that network as well. So my only move would be to replace all Zigbee with Matter/Thread devices. And that seems insane. So I hope I keep getting new Zigbee devices for a while.
