Changes

As a father of three, the best parent filter is oversight, communication, and guidance. People want plug and play automatic parenting on the devices their kids use, but the honest truth is nothing beats actually talking to the kids about what’s out there, the dangers, the consequences, and guiding them as they explore. Keep an eye on what they do, and intervene if they start down the wrong rabbit hole. Good luck my friend.

That happened to me with the movie House (1986)

That movie terrified me as a child, then I rewatched it as an adult and laughed and laughed.

Which game(s) are you having trouble running on Linux?

Necronomicon

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones through Bluetooth I have a little Bluetooth dongle plugged into my PC’s USB port. I’m on Ubuntu 20.04. I’ve had no issues.

It’s a UNIX system. I know this!

I would definitely need the final say in any commands it decides to run on my system. But, this sounds like a fun game to play in a pretend shell that won’t nuke my drive if it gets pissy, lol

Lemmy gives me the same feeling that Reddit did when I first discovered it in 2011. Back before they cared about being profitable and sustainable, when it was a growing community. I don’t know if Lemmy is sustainable or not, but I like the way it feels to be a part of this.

Sync really makes it feel like a seamless transition though. Jerboa is good, but Sync is what I’m used to.

PlayOn.tv is a service that allows you to record from Netflix and Prime, and several others. I used their old desktop software for years before they moved the whole thing to the cloud and turned it into a service. Give it a try if you like.

I’m currently working on this problem. My plan is to use a Phoenix DataCare 2001 media firesafe to rotate a copy of my full backup. See my post for the discussion.

Thank you for the reminder, I’ll add some dessicant packs

I would love an invite! I seed 24/7, just need a new home since bacon bits shut down.

Thank you, it sounds great, I will look more into dar.

I’m thinking of going with the Phoenix DataCare 2001 which is indeed a fireproof media safe specifically for keeping hard drives, discs, etc. safe in a fire for over an hour. I hope I never need to test it, but of all the non-living things in our home we couldn’t replace, it’s our personal pictures, video, and business related data. Western Digital is having a sale on their drives today and I picked up (8) 16TB WD Pro Red NAS drives for $219 each. WD Red Pro (normally $289.99)

Thank you so much for all the information! I actually simply use rsync to synchronize all my data to whichever backup drive is connected. Are there benefits to using dar instead of rsync? I haven’t used dar before. I also haven’t dabbled in encrypting my backup… My concern with that would be the additional time it takes to encrypt everything, as well as my fear of losing the ability to decrypt it. I am mostly putting this out there to see if anyone has suggestions for different media I hadn’t thought of, or if anyone sees any pitfalls in my plan I hadn’t thought of. I’m planning on storing the enclosure in a phoenix datacare 2001 fireproof safe. It’s supposed to be able to keep hard drives, CDs, tapes, etc. safe in a fire for over an hour.
