@Kooda it would be less stressful if there was only one channel per server, even if that meant there were many more servers

Discord's interface seems intentionally designed to stress you out and also be really annoying if you want to just catch up on all the messages you missed

backups, advice wanted 

@daggertooth@monsterpit.net I'm already using borg!

I just don't have a cloud service

backups, advice wanted, additional details 

@jmp ah, that is cheap!

@catoutofbed@octodon.social @iliana the tildes look like a - in the discord font, it's horrible

backups, advice wanted, additional details 

I'd like to do an offsite backup once a week at a minimum.

And I'm using borg to create the backups, so data change is minimal

backups, advice wanted 

So I have a local backup of my data, but I want to make an offsite backup. It's around 80GB right now and I expect it to grow to ~100GB over time

What's the cheapest way of doing this?

(Note: in addition to "normal" options, I also have the less common option of "burn it onto some discs and send those discs to my brother's house")

hi I'm taking a break today

need to refocus and figure some stuff out

love you ♥

to this we put forth, maybe it WASN'T flash at fault here.

we're not saying that the security vulnerabilities didn't exist, they did, they were bad, but it was never the only factor.

The only thing that we've seen the gradual loss of flash is, also, the gradual loss of fan animation, furry animation, ete, open as an option for so many young people to have as their outlet.

Trying to do the same thing today is so much harder than it was then, and it's only been getting worse.

The collective hate and killing of flash by the tech community was a terrible thing and has made the internet so much less fun.

5 years ago, everyone was arguing about how flash was the most insecure piece of garbage and caused all the security problems

fastforward to today and the same problems pretty much exist, but flash is fairly rare.
