I can vouch. Been a user for years with multiple accounts.

They actually seem like an ethical company above just one that values user privacy.

Kind of frustrating that Seagate is the only company to have multiple drives with ZERO failures, but then that 12TB model with over 12% failure… ouch.

That said, I’ve been on Team Seagate IronWolf for years without issues.

My idrive plan went from just over $100 to $250.

I created another account, paid for another year at a promotional price, and then deleted my old account.

I will eventually have to come up with a more sustainable cloud/off site backup now that i need more than just a few TB.

Since this is really my “last resort” backup, I’m not too concerned, as anything that would require me to actually restore from this backup set would likely be catastrophic in a life-ending way.

I hate how they frame it as a “full work week lost”.

No, this was “time with family” lost, “time to better your health” lost, “time to focus on mental health” lost…

Also, being in a car for that long (instead of using a more active form of transportation), likely results in time lost off their lifespan, too.

Don’t try to fall asleep.

The effort is what’s keeping you awake. Sleep when you feel tired.

If you don’t feel tired at night, then you may not be doing enough mental or physically engaging activities during the day.

If you’re an Italian soccer fan, this one should give you a good laugh.

I keep it simple: steamed in a microwave + lemon juice.

It seems like way more work to go out to get fast food than to pop something in the microwave, instant pot, air frier, or to pull something out of the fridge.

You can put together some pretty cheap, easy, healthy meals with maybe 1-2 minutes of actual prep work. It may not be obvious, but search and you will find. 👌

We adopted a yellow-headed amazon (parrot) in his 40s. For months he was shy and kept to himself.

One day, seemingly out of the blue, he began whistling songs, cat-calling, saying his name, asking for a cracker, etc. He had like an entire repertoire!

Most unexpected, funniest thing that’s happened with any of our pets.

Close second is a cat that would play fetch, like a dog!

FressRSS gave me a UI I was looking for on both mobile and desktop, and it “just works”.

My only complaint, and I’m sure this isn’t a feature found anywhere, is that I wish you could actually delete an article, not just “archive it”. Some of the stuff that gets through on RSS is unfiltered NSFW crap, and I really would rather not have that on my home server!

As if sitting at a desk all day doesn’t destroy your body.

It does. Which is why a standing desk is better, if you’re at a screen all day.

And if you can get a standing desk with a treadmill, then it’s peak health.

There are so many ways to make a desk job less terrible.

I thought a lot of people have to accept a fair amount lower than this.

I mean, they could accept lower, but then they’d be homeless and starving but still employed, so they can’t get any benefits.

Not really a choice they’d willingly want to make.

Basically, jobs that destroy your body, so you can’t work past 55 anyway.

It’s all about status. Big building = big dick. And more buildings spread all over the place is the equivalent to them having tons of kids.

It’s such a primitive, ape-brain thing to do, but that’s how these psychopaths operate.

At our (Canadian) Walmart, I’ve seen so many cameras set up, you’d think you were at a casino! I’m talking cameras in the dry good isle, FFS! And we have an airport style security gate as well as uniformed security at the store exits.

And to think that they trust customers enough to be their own cashier, yet treat them like criminals while they shop, is madness.

Someone should tell them to definitely stay away from Curb Your Enthusiasm (created and starring the co-creator of Seinfeld). It’s like a rated-R version of Seinfeld that has absolutely no boundaries. LOL

For me, it’s screenshots.

I can’t even count how many self-hosted or open source projects I’ve wanted to check out, and the project page is just text.

If I don’t know exactly what I’m getting into in the first 10 seconds, I’m onto something else, especially when it’s something heavily based on UI/UX with frequent interaction.

EDIT: Also, I’m a fan of docker apps to run off my Synology NAS, but it better come with step-by-step instructions, or I won’t bother. There are some good resources for detailed instructions for various self-hosted/NAS/docker related content, but it’s nice when a project actually has this in their documentation.

My intuition says that deviating from the first suggested method of delivery is throwing a wrench in their algo somehow.

From my experience, I usually have to pick an option other than the default, because I rarely need something to arrive between 4am and 7 am! LOL

I’m fine with “any time tomorrow or the next day”, since that’s typically the only other option.

Never forget that Trump publicly mocked a reporter with a disability.

lots of people would love to work less for less money to have more time.

Yes, work less, more time… the money part is the “gotcha!”.

I’m in Canada and over 50% of the population are living paycheck to paycheck. Too many people aren’t even taking their earned time off just so they can put in extra hours to afford a roof over their head.
