LoL, came here to say that this is actually me after I stop blaming myself for making the mistakes after I learn better and then realize others don’t know yet.

Ok people, how do you get texts in the air? Do you have to buy airplane wifi?

Lol, fair enough. None of it is mental if I’m not required to use it myself.

You can set up your own windows snap patterns and you can share windows instead of full screens.
- Comment on Real and True 1 week ago:
The only thing mental is putting up with all of these seams. If you’re not in a tactical environment that requires this – say for being able to set up and move on the fly – then just get a big ass monitor. They’re life changing.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Yep, this tracks. I wish the article was clearer about it, because to me it seems like they were indicating there was some permission involved in the choice. Which is not really the case in any meaningful sense.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
So how did Microsoft have the keys in the first place? The article says they are automatically uploaded to the cloud. What does that mean? They’re uploaded to the user’s on drive or something else? Because whatever that user account is shouldn’t be accessible by Microsoft, even if they run the service. I’m not saying aim surprised they do have it, but would be nice to be a little clearer about what features of Bitlocker to avoid. Is it the Microsoft account associated with the windows key? Probably.

Nice, looks like if I search for knit gloves they don’t have seams. TY!

Yall have any recommendations for thin gloves that could fit under mittens that preferably don’t have seams and don’t costn an arm and a leg?
- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 2 weeks ago:
Many others have pointed out multiple probably even more important issues with this. I’d just like to add that it’s actually $30 to the state department and another $30 to the processing department (like the post office if you take it there) and another processing fee for the photograph.
Mine was closer to $100 and cannot be used for international air travel.
So unless you’re planning a cruise or a land crossing, this is a $100 fee to try to avoid getting arrested.

- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 3 weeks ago:
If your recipes are formatted like markdown, then there are offline notes apps like Obsidian. The new issue becomes keeping your files backed up in case of whatever, and that’s when the self hosted server comes into play. This is a really good usecase for synching which can keep your small recipes files duplicated on your phone and your computer without ever leaving your network.

I tried to set up some services last year and had some trouble getting immich to work through networking. The answer was tailscale. This past Christmas holidays I got nextcloud and immich up. I use nextcloud for my audiobooks and large files I want to keep but not on my phone. Immich for pictures and synching for small files I want synced often like my epub book arks and highlights and Obsidian notes vault.

Ok, but-- even once you transition to a new service the old addresses are embedded in all kinds of places, user forums, documentation, git commits, etc. Just setting up and using a different service doesn’t make that go away.

Just got a retro handheld for a gift. Package looked a little suspicious with no way to tell if it had ever been opened. SD card reader broken. Sad to return it a few days before Christmas with no chance at replacing in time.
