I had seen that prompt, but never searched about it. I found it a little annoying, mostly because I didn’t know what it was for, but now I won’t mind. I hope more solutions are developed :D

Bruh, I see more meat-eaters following and actively commenting on vegan pages and forums than vegans being annoying lol

Damn, that sounds very interesting! The use of a Keepass DB instead of a new one makes it great to have as option. It’s something I hadn’t think about for a long time.

I’ll check it out later and maybe install it after I restore my server, I’m planning to reduce my attack surface too:)

Damn, those stories scare me a lot because I can’t afford good enough backups right now, so I rely on mirroring via Syncthing what I can and using an USB for my server (fortunately I don’t have a lot of personal things). All the family memories are in multiple locations and devices so I don’t have the time (nor storage) to backup those lol

Because of my situation, it takes me some time to save even for second hand things (I just bought a CPU and a new voltage regulator). I’m planning on buying some used HDDs as secondary storage and one as an external. Slowly but surely D:

Well, OP didn’t say what was their situation. I’m behind a CG-NAT so I’d need a VPS or something similar for which I’d have to pay, and I don’t have the budget right now. I understand the concern, but OP is looking to reduce the time needed to setup things.

You seem to have almost everything under control and already planned. For the VPN I’d suggest Tailscale since it’s the easiest VPN to set up (if you don’t have a public IP). You can do a lot of things with it, but if you only want the basics, then there’s not much reading to do. Some people recommend ZeroTier, but I havent tried it, tbh.

BTW, I would keep in mind that Tailscale is planning to go IPO (if you care about that):

I don’t usually like to use specific terms to define myself, but to me it’s easier to say: “bisexual agender” than: “I don’t actually fit into the gender roles nor identities, and I also like a lot of different people, but not always. Also I sometimes feel inclined to a gender, but never enough to say ‘I’m that’”. You know, like a TL;DR.

Also, I’ve known different types of people who need definitions and certain terms:

• People starting to explore their identities and want to know if there’s someone somewhere that feels/understand the same.
• People that will invalidate feelings and will not believe things unless there’s more people telling them that they exist (doesn’t always work).
• I, because I’m lazy and specific terms save me some time when I don’t want to explain the whole thing, but it’s enough for others to look up.

I’m pretty sure there are more reasons, but you need to understand that external people will try to negate anything that’s not “written down”. And to add more context, there are some terms I haven’t even seen in person or known, but whatever, I respect that. I hope categorizing is not needed in the future. Unfortunately, there’s still backlash, hate and violence towards the community, with or without “weird” words, you can be targeted just because of your looks or your personality.

P.S.: some people may not need to specify their preference/identity, but that may be because theirs is seen as “normal”, that’s a whole other discussion.

We’re 10 years early, it was supposed to happen on 2035 😭

Same. I mean, I was already looking to rent a VPS, but at least there’s some time so I can save money until things get weird.

Lol I’m a linux user, but I rarely see content about it on Mastodon. I try to center over conversations and so and try to keep Tech content here in Lemmy.

You literally create your feed and select the people you want to connect to, it’s easier to control the things you see ;)

Good. I hope that kills completely the Saguaro Project :D

I mean, Carlos Slim is not from the USA, so most news were in spanish:

I’m glad there’s a printer service close to where I live, I can go there and print every page for cents. There’s also one on my faculty, more expensive, but still affordable. I only use my HP printer/scanner to scan documents, ink is expensive as hell.

I use the ‘No Thanks’ app, but only as a starting point to then confirm if what they say it’s true. I don’t like that it’s closed source, but at least it’s an option. Also, I should note that some brands are ethical in some countries or states, but not globally, so you should check local resources for better results 🧐

I’m still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven’t been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using podlet, I have to edit some things manually.

I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I’m still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u

This has happened in México too, the most famously recorded one was during Enrique Peña Nieto’s term (sorry for linking to YT). They said the flag thing was an accident, but it was during the Flag Day and everyone was angry with the way the government was handling things. The government-influenced media was angry with the military because “they made a mistake”, but we all knew why it happened.

LOL! Me too, I started using a lot the search function and I ended up moving to a FOSS alternative that is search-focused (and a lot lighter)

I’ve been using Anytype for project management and some collections, like my favorite art pieces, an archive of memos/random notes and writing planning.

I use markor for reminders (QuickNote) and sometimes to convert files to PDF since I mostly use Markdowm for everything.

I haven’t found a perfect workflow, but I haven’t tried using Anytype for serious note-taking, though it seems very capable.

I’m self-hosting in a 500GB HDD, 2 cores AMD A6, 8GB RAM thinkcentre (access for LAN only) that I got very cheap.

It could be better, I’m going to buy a new computer for personal use and I’m the only one in my family who uses the hosted services, so upgrades will come later 😴

Specify that, “free” means two things in English, otherwise use “libre”, which means freedom in Spanish and it’s sometimes used to refer to free or libre software.
