unga bunga, genius!

i concluded lowkey is similar to “down low”, personally. a bit like keep this quiet, but…

such words can be useful to signal being slightly uncomfortable about the fact… when not overused. i see your point, of course!

i think you probably still have the meaning wrong, as i concluded it is the equivalent of “down low”,which to me is saying “don’t want this to go public”. you know, don’t want people to notice. sensitive topic. yadda yadda.

either way, over used. i remind my 10 yo when i notice him doing it. i point out such phrases lose meaning when overused. they become fillers, not information.

since childhood i hve had a tendency to exhale before answering and people conclude i am sighing as if i am burdened by having to entertain the topic at hand. does not help my social standing.

like, totally!

i am American, and yes we have a long history of interpretation that is expansive. the problem is we have narrow minded people running the institutions now who don’t even want the narrow interpretations to be in effect so they do everything possible to limit them.

if you pay attention long enough you will see them use one argument to get their way, then later use the opposite to get their way on a different issue. there is no moral consistency because morality is just s tool to them.

Besides my archaic physical books, I have hundreds of recipes I pulled off the internet, indexed for a full-text search engine (Recoll). So, yeah, I agree!

There is also KeePassDX, for android.

Well, the approach I use is “synology Drive” and I replicate it down to all clients. Also, NAS 6 with regular offline backups on the server.

Lacking an equivalent, there are multiple peer to peer replication tools. I used one to replicate Balder’s Gate III saves between gaming laptops.

If you decide to build something, plz try to make it a pluggable feature to existing clients rather than fork one or more implementations.

I already have 30 G of music, lots of TV series and movies, and all my own pictures plus a bunch of interesting ones from the internet. I also have a bunch of ebooks covering various topics including software development tech, wilderness survival, and bushcraft/homestead tutorials. I’d say I already have everything I’d take from the internet.

I’ve never been one to rely on the internet being available. If something is important to me, I save it just in case. Periodically I review what I have and purge what no longer matters.

Leaning to the right, with boobs showing on the left? No, you are not the only one.

Not huge. I have a bluetti AC200L and 1000 watts of mismatched panels. It’s plugged into the wall socket and switche to grid power at 40% of capacity.

Router and modem plus NAS average a continuous 70 watt draw. The fridge is the biggest draw as it turns on regularly and uses about 80 watts, and runs a defrost cycle for 40 minutes at 300 watts.

None of it will matter. That said, short term FUBAR can be mitigated. I have a semi-portable solar setup that currently runs my internet, NAS, Fridge and to some degree, the A/C.

To prep for the serious mess, I have to get Faraday bags for my server, drives, and solar generator and have enough time to bag everything before the EMP hits.

I have survival guides in book form as well as on the NAS, and I work the land enough to bring the soil into balance and build its fertility, plus feed the bees so they’ll be there when I need them.

I’m a linux user with a synology NAS, and I scan my documents to a shared folder, the process them with ocrmypdf and move them into an archival home.

The NAS is a 4 disk RAID6, data loss is almost impossible if you replace failing disks promptly. I have a regular backup to an external drive of all the important folders.

I use OpenVPN to connect to my network when I am away from home with Android and my Linux laptop.

I use Recoll to index my documents for full text search.

It’s very effective.

The point of scanning it all usually includes getting rid of the papers.

I’ll check these out, thanks. Hopefully they support Mermaid.

This is the way.

Use AI, learn the methods, tools, uses. Then keep working through the process yourself like you do now with AI as a partner who sometimes flakes out.

Remind yourself of the tenents of critical thinking regularly. Never just accept what AI tells you. seek proof behind the answers. Think through those answers to ensure you understand the logic behind them.

Fight complacency.

We can’t ignore this. We need to know how it is done if we want to earn salaries. Reality rarely makes a dent in the corporate herd until years later.

By then, careers are obliterated.

There are ways to protect your mind in the meantime.
