I still read it but I stopped posting as soon as Elon Musk bought it. I’m not creating content for free for a billionaire (derogatory) fascist. I’ll tweet on Bluesky or Mastodon occasionally and still call it a tweet and if I want to say something longer I’ve got a blog nobody reads and if there’s something I want to chat about there’s Lemmy.

Veeam Agent going to a NAS on-site and the NAS is backed up nightly to IDrive because it’s the cheapest cloud backup service I could find with Linux support. It’s a bit slow, very CPU-bound, but it’s robust and their support is pretty responsive.

Yeah but it’s free advertising on Lemmy and there’s only like ten of us here.

Exactly that. Royal Kludge makes one.

I think it’s a good layout. I have a tenkeyless at home and for some tasks I definitely miss the number pad more than I’d miss the arrow keys, especially since the number pad by design doubles as arrow keys and always has. I’ve seen even smaller keyboards that have numpads but not the number row, which would also be sweet. Reclaim some vertical deskspace as well as horizontal.

You can still get some mechanical keyboards with numpads but not arrow keys, though since these are variations on compact layouts they tend to omit the numlock key as well.

Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it’s your password, but I just see **************.

Huh. I guess you must have the same password.

Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.

******* see?

I downvoted the beans and I don’t care who knows about it. I’d do it again.

This is useful to know though, thanks. I guess assume everything is public short of your password (unless your admin is particularly nefarious and has altered the code to store passwords in plaintext for some reason).

Lots of good answers in this thread but I haven’t seen anyone mention this one yet:

Spec Ops: The Line

Got me right in the feels. That scene, obviously, but I can remember plenty more moments too even though I only played it once when it was new and never since. No spoilers here but if you can put up with the (I think deliberately) generic third-person shooter mechanics it’s worth your time. Also note the strangely muted tone in the Zero Punctuation review because I think it got him in the feels too. It’s a fine game but it was a great experience.

Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It’s mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It’s fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I’d follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I’d mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don’t care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn’t effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it’s not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you’re looking to see more outside of what you’re usually shown, as you say.
