That’s not harmless that’s cruel 😭

I saw a video once of a prank where two girls go up to a stranger asking them to take a picture of them across the street. The stranger takes the photo and when the two girls start crossing over to the other side, a car passes by and the two girls are replaced with two old men wearing the same shirts. Even the Polaroid photo shows the old men. It’s genuinely funny and completely harmless. It just makes the person getting pranked go, “Wait, what the fuck???”

I do hope the people were told that they were pranked though and that they don’t live the rest of their lives thinking they’re insane 😂

ETA: also this video where the guy puts on the collar and leash of his blind husband’s service dog when he asks him to go get his watch. (He immediately reveals himself when the blind husband gets back to pick up his service dog’s leash again and the husband thinks it’s hysterical).

Tiny cock?

I don’t know the word but there’s one Japanese word that means “stupid” but is basically the equivalent to the r-word in English. It’s banned from being said on Japanese television.

Technology, open source software, operating systems, retro technology, furries

It’s a pretty popular writing software, though you mainly hear about it in writing circles so that might be why you never heard of it.

I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter brand

1. Data that absolutely must be backed up.

2. Data that would be nice to have backed up, but you can live without if the worst happens.

I’d then recommend setting up a solution that you can then immediately start using to store data that fits into the first category I’ve listed above. Once you have that in place, you can then, over time (because these things do take time), start shifting existing data that fits into Category 1, over to this new setup.

That is a really good way to break things down. My folders of modded games take quite a bit to backup. I can probably skip the files of the mods themselves for a while because while they’d be nice to have because it’s a pain to redownload them, I can live with having to redownload them.

A more ideal setup, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and deep-dive into the world of self-hosting, would be to save up for something like a Dell optiplex PC. Set this up at home with something like Nextcloud so that you can have your data sync between you Windows, Mac and Nextcloud server. And then, depending on the configurability of your home router, set up a Wireguard or OpenVPN server on the optiplex so you can VPN to your Nextcloud server from your laptop when you are away from home.

I’d like to explore self-hosting someday and I’ve heard good things about NextCloud, but doesn’t this kind of defeat the purpose of having a cloud backup since I’d want it to be offsite?

Backblaze needs to see your computer once every 6 months, and any external hard drives you’re backing up every 30 days.

I have ADHD so this is the part that concerns me the most.

I’m also a bit worried about the time it’ll take. Especially since I have quite a bit of stuff to back up and I don’t want to have my computer and drives running for days, and I don’t want to feel like I can’t use my computer in that time period.

How do you know which language to use? And how do you know if you should stick to a language that you already know or if you should learn a new one?

Sorry if this is a dumb question I only just finished my first year of being a comp sci major

Thank you!!!

I’d love to see a RemindMe bot for Lemmy!

Not really a hack but I love using loose leaf paper with triangle holes that’s reinforced with tape. It’s called “College Ruled Reinforced Paper”. My papers don’t constantly rip out anymore.

Also I like refillable notebooks. They’re regular notebooks you can refill and much lighter and easier to carry.

Wait that meme format was Crowder?!

rip

This made me feel pain

the cat looks so sad 😭

This is so fucking funny. I got to rule 9 before I ran out of pati but I’ll have to play more of it later.

Wdym?

I’ve been playing Tears of the Kingdom a lot which is great!

But today I’m suddenly feeling pretty sad. I have really bad executive dysfunction and ADHD and there’s a lot of things I want to draw. There’s Art Fight and also this July art prompt list for a fandom I really want to do some art for, but I don’t know if I have the time or motivation to do it. Not to mention there’s an art commission that I haven’t finished and they’ve been waiting a while. They have been so patient but I’ve been planning to get it done this summer and it feels like it’s almost over. And like, I have hobbies outside of drawing so that makes it harder.

Also r/place starts today. I loved r/place last year. It was incredible to participate in and see. But all the shit Reddit has pulled and how bitter I feel towards it has really put a damper on it and I feel sad just thinking about it.

I’m also pretty bummed out about how…empty the fediverse feels in a lot of corners. Even the communities that have opened as a substitute for other subreddits are often empty or inactive. There seems to be a lack of a fandom on Fediverse which means it feels pretty lonely and even if I made stuff relating to that I feel like it wouldn’t get a lot of attention.
