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.

This is the first time I heard of it, so I’m going to read up. I set up openvpn on my NAS, ensured only the one port is open, and connect to the vpn when I need to access my local network.

Inside, I configured a DAVX volume and use DAVx5 on the phone for file transfer. The vpn uses a certificate and pwd for auth.

I have KDE Connect as well.

Sides stepping the web problem, you could set it up on a local server with a vpn and effectively have a local LLM.

For clarification, I initially read it to mean that anybody “poor enough” to have to work to earn money does not deserve to live. I.e., rich people are human, everybody else is subhuman.

Your interpretation I saw a few moments later, and that the post was criticizing that phrase. Basically, the polar opposite of my first impression.

You know, when i originally read this, the way i interpreted it was that he was saying that if you need to earn money to live you don’t deserve to live.

I much prefer the version that is an indictment of the phrase “earn a living” as implying you don’t deserve to live if you aren’t “working” in the modern sense of earning money at a modern job vs doing what’s necessary to stay alive like all nature’s critters.

I can agree with that.

Yeah, that’s what I was doing… /s

I guess you’re on board with demonizing people based on the location of their homes. They don’t deserve to be treated like decent humans? You’d spit on them just because they came from America? Interesting.

At what point did doing things for yourself become cringe?

Methinks this is what the collapse of civilization looks like.
