Yes, and…? Did I claim otherwise anywhere? Privacy isn’t a zero sum game. You cant fully protect yourself short of ditching tech and the Internet entirely. And even then, there’s already a digital footprint left behind you’ll never get rid of. But you can make informed choices like not trusting Google or Microsoft to host your personal data, not buying the smart home devices, keeping data local only/host your own cloud, use Linux instead of Windows, etc.

Jokes on you. My phone is two soup cans and a length of string.

100% agree. I’ve only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I’m loving the experience so far.

Same here. I really like it.

For me, it was not being able to use a 3rd party app. Accessing reddit through their garbage app is a painful experience. And unless I find the answer to a question via web search that’s a reddit thread, I avoid it entirely.

It’s absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.

That’s quite a leap, isn’t it? When China has demonstrably expressed intent in data mining the world.

Plenty more examples if you look even briefly.

I tried the first game years ago and couldn’t click with it. I should try again.

N64 Glenn Plant!

He’s criminally underrated but does deep dives on tons of n64 games. Really enjoy his content.

Fallout 76. Got hooked after watching the show and went through the previous 3d games back to back. Also bought Undertale but haven’t fully committed to that one yet.

VATS build with Deliverer pistol in FO4 is OP as hell. Almost to the point it’s boring.

I’ve been using Duplicacy and like it. Everything backs up to my server via Seafile (files) and Immich (photos). Then Duplicacy has a couple of B2 buckets it backs everything up to. Seems to work pretty well so far.

I’ve tried numerous terminal based backups like restic and Borg, but my newb brain still needs a GUI I guess. I’ve seen various UIs for those last 2 but haven’t tried them yet.

Play all the fallout games. V.A.T.S. doesn’t care if you suck at aiming.

Only half joking. I played all but the 1, 2, and Tactics on steam deck and it worked out decently. Didn’t even bother using the touchpad aiming because it felt worse to me than the analog stick.

Now with free spyware/backdoor!

It’s worth playing just for the Darth Vader slaughtering of Wookies, imo. But yeah, the rest is pretty bad.

I agree. I’m this case it works out for me since I’m under the 3 user limit.

From a new fan, I found that 3 had the coolest environment. New Vegas bad much better gun mechanics. And 4 is good, a lot better than reviews I read made it sound. And the Nuka Town DLC was a lot of fun.

100%. I love obsidian, but it’s awful at to-dos and shopping lists.

I’ve been using Quillpad for quick notes and Obsidian for everything else. I do wish I could point Quillpad to the same local folder on Android where my vault is.

I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.
