I have bash scripts of the form rsync -av source dest for this. Make it -avz if copying over a network.

Samba.

Or one time I made my own simple file sharing website

It probably isn’t going to cost less to get something without wifi.

Keep stuff that’s not designed to be exposed to the internet on your LAN behind your router’s firewall.

Use a VPN to access your LAN remotely. Tailscale is the easiest way to do this, but I found it not too hard to set up WireGuard.

This is why I use CloudFlare. They block the worst and cache for me to reduce the load of the rest. It’s not 100% but it does help.

As the result of a single misconfigured security setting on my Android, I was locked out of my Google Account on my phone AND all of my PCs.

Just a heads up on what you are getting yourself into, if you fuck up your self hosted setup badly enough there is no recovery.

That isn’t necessarily intended to scare you off from self hosting, just that the first and most important lesson to learn is to have a good system of backups that are backed up automatically, are easy to recover from, and are separated enough from other copies of the data that if something goes terribly wrong one copy will survive.

What did Canada do to deserve this?

Nah there’s still things like mods that replace textures of walls with wireframes you can see through or mods that make enemy player skins highlighted, that can give you an advantage even if it’s only client side.

Also Mexico? The Phillipines?

AIUI Netflix will limit stuff if it sees anything at all creative going on because they are afraid of you screen recording.

That Smash Bros. Song with the Latin chanting

In other breaking news, Apple won’t stop making iPhones and Google won’t stop collecting user data.

I eventually turned off auto bed leveling because it just doesn’t help much. You still have to manually level the bed, and the correction it adds is kinda negligible. At least the BL Touch does help with the manual leveling process.

Note that these were cases of it mishearing other noises as the trigger word. It’s still not recording until (it thinks) it’s heard the trigger.

Gas stations typically have security cameras

3rd party app and then transfer files via USB.

It’s a thing that’s been happening a lot over the past few years where US politicians refuse to sign bills that approve government spending (such as continuing to pay government employees) until their demands about some unrelated thing are met.

Also rocks can be valuable too

The video also highlights the disadvantages compared to traditional fans:

• slightly less energy efficient
• weaker
• concerns about ozone
• concerns about attracting dust

I don’t see the need particularly but my guess at the “big company” mentioned is Apple. They seem like the type to jump at the opportunity to use a new technology to make quieter and thinner laptops. They already make some laptops without any cooling fans despite how inadvisable that sounds.
