My work flow doesn’t have me redownloading the entire set. I have the drive mounted so it’s more light push and pull.

I use Rclone but sadly started this process before it supported crypt so I use encfs

I pay $20 a month

It is not wrong. I pay it every month.

The enterprise plan.

I must be grand fathered in. I pay $20 flat per month.

$20 a month gives you "unlimited" storage at google. they gladly take my encrypted files for years now and I'm up to 80TB. i think its more than reasonable to pay them for that type of service and be slightly above board (the account type i have says i need a minimum of 5 people but its just me).

Fun fact about doom IPX is 1.0 absolutely spammed the heck out of the network finding peers. Most colleges had big problems days after its release because doom was DDOSing the network. They quickly patched it but patching wasn’t as easy as it is now.

I have 80TB on a $20 a month account. Hope they don’t either kick me off or bump it too much.

I run windows as my dev laptop since my job only supports Linux and Mac. It’s a way better platform than Mac now.

Can you explain the glibc hate? Been using it for 20+ years and really confused why people dislike it.

For else old folks it would be like WinNuke. Back in the day of dial up your entire PC was front and center on the internet. Windows 95 had a vulnerability that anyone could BSOD you. When it came out basically any IRC or multiplayer interaction you could get BSOD’d by any rando on the internet. I would be lying if I wasn’t occasionally on the sending end of these at the ripe old age of 12.

switch to desktop mode, connect to wifi, kde should either give you a pop-up or you can just agree to the T&C from a browser. you can even setup the browser to launch directly from game mode, i never did this though so can't walk you through.

Or from foreign entities wondering what’s up with our military facilities.

i personally loved stadia. as a linux guy i got to play AAA games, got a sweet controller, all for free! thanks google!

seriously though they have just been building their base while also trying to grow. they do have a bit of a short attention span regarding growing though. if you don't catch on like gmail yer gone.

Android

It’s very silly for work from home people. Nothing stopping you from using a personal device at home. One thing is to stop phishing/malware but tracking at home when you can just use a personal device is silly.

I don’t. I guess I blindly trust the packages in arch and ready the pkgbuilds in aur. Never found and virus issues.

Main reasons for SNES was its last minute scrapped backwards compat had it pick that chip. They made up for it having a great audio chip and PPU and a bus that you could just bring your own CPU (like sa-1 which is basically a snes 1.5 cpu)

College was some good distcc days though. My off campus house all ran Linux and they were dumb enough to distcc me. Debian, RedHat 9 (non rhel), and Slack were the other popular distros at the time. My school was ran on Solaris.

Wine doesn’t help you on iOS or the web. It could never have been as cross platform as a browser

If sharing is a problem I’m unsure why you didn’t think docker was the solution. I can’t think of an easier way for both the provider and the consumer than docker.

Stadia controller is by far my favorite. Glad they kept mine alive.

When I worked in Brooklyn they would setup sidewalk booths. Walk up with your w2 and someone would take a picture with an iPad. They would confirm the details and leave. It’s amazing how many people showed up for that.

Probably ones that need specific windows drivers.

My audio now is usually played via AirPods. So any lossless rip is lost on me since it’s compressed anyway.

I remember back in the day using https://xiph.org/paranoia/ for ripping. Tons of burned cds that eventually were tossed in favor of Spotify.

It would be a hard no to do street drugs now-a-days. Back when I was in college worse case you get some weak coke. Now you can get laced coke and OD and die. Scary times!

my old job was much easier than my current job. i left it simply because of the 90 minute commute verses fully remote. less than six months later covid hit and now my old job is 95% remote. i am more challenged and get better compensation but i can only imagine having a very simply job and being fully remote. it must be like being semi retired.
