Oof. Yeah when storing encryption keys for backup media it's also important to remember to store the key in a place that is accessible when your services are down (like they could be at the time you're needing to restore a backup).

I've definitely screwed up and realized that a key I needed was stored in a credential database that was stored on the encrypted backup I was trying to restore. I was able to access another copy but it slowed me down.

Beware the Melonwasp.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

Maybe that's where people are who need the information the most?

Businesses are happy to have their employees be more productive without having to pay for expensive new licenses... But eventually they're going to find out that letting all your employees share swaths of private data with random websites is not a great idea.

This exactly. I'd use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn't use rsync exclusively for backups.

Ah yes... Pre-crime... Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

As I approach 40 I've been trying to make fashion choices that are something like 'stylish aloof professor' but I'm always worried that I end up in the 'douchebag psuedointellectual buffoon' category like this chode of a human being.

Civilization isn't being very civilized these days so I'm cool with this.

They are. Lots of motherboards still include these. There are a lot of special PS/2 input devices that are still around in business/industrial settings and gamers sometimes need them for use with flight sticks, steering wheels, mechanical keyboards etc.

Usually it's a combo port now instead of a separate port for keyboard/mouse.

My Rimworld colony in a nutshell.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years...

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.

I really like using the PopShell extension on Gnome. I'm hoping it doesn't die out when Pop moves to their new Cosmic DE. So far I still prefer Gnome.

It would be funny if there was a condition that made them join the other side after being promoted.

The only time I have to use Vim these days is on minimalist images like Alpine or Amazon Linux.

I realized this but I became old in the process so now no one listens to me either.

Your package is set to arrive between the hours of 0 and -2,147,483,647.

It's better than you could ever imagine but you'll forever feel empty afterward due to the eternal longing for it.

Thank you. It looks like this is sort of working in that I can get the additional buttons to show up in Steam now but I'm hitting what I think is a bug where the 'Enable Extended Buttons' toggle doesn't stay enabled. After searching a bit it seems like I'm not the only one but maybe that will get worked out soon.
