Sure, but if I can dodge one by simply switching email hosts, why not?

How the uptime with Tuta these days? Was hearing some negative reviews about extended outages a while back.

I want to leave Proton, but I fear for the day I need a 2FA code and I can’t get it.

So a family group-chat, that’s a no-no, right?

I disagree. I don’t think it’s clear at all what he considers dangerous about social media if he’s excluding things like Lemmy, Reddit, and other message boards.

My own belief is that all social media is a cancer, and to be avoided entirely. I’m able to do that for myself

You just posted this to a social media site…

When you “solve” a captcha like that, you’re just helping train the AI you’re talking about.

The stuff that determines whether you’re a not or not is based on browser information, how you interact with the page, etc.

NixOS is the most boring distro I’ve ever used.

I configured everything across multiple machines and now it just works.

Oh I see – you’re asking a hypothetical.

The simple answer is that it’s a bad idea to take snapshots of running databases because at best they could be missing info and at worst they can corrupt.

The short answer: Don’t.

docker stop container

Make your snapshot

docker start container

What am I missing?

Why not?

This is one of the reasons Docker exists.

When the crowd strikes

I’m not falling for that one again. Next you’ll tell me to use DeezOS

Kinda crazy that I’m running NixOS on 3 boxes…

How do I get anything done?

I don’t want to have remote access to my server outside of my home for security reasons, so this is just the bare minimum

What are your security concerns?

What led you to believe it was private? They can and do track absolutely everything you type into it.

What’s wrong with X11?

Yup, same experience. I started out hosting everything on a single box, but have slowly moved things like HA and Pi-hole to their own machines, so they don’t all go down when that one box goes down.

After Windows Recall was announced, I’ve seen more people talking about switching to Linux than ever before.

I’ve been the Linux zealot in my friend group for years, and none of them have switched (they’ve dabbled on old laptops but never daily drove).

With Recall, a coworker I never would have expected reached out to me because he knows I’m a “Linux guy” and he was switching to Linux over it.

He’s still daily driving pop_OS a month later.

There’s also plenty of people that do use adblock today, and would just put up with ads if it stopped working.

So the actual number of people that would simply stop using YouTube altogether is lower than the number of people that use adblock today.

And from YouTube’s perspective, those people aren’t contributing revenue anyways, and all they get is a little bit of usage data. Easy trade.
