It’s a pretty popular writing software, though you mainly hear about it in writing circles so that might be why you never heard of it.

That’s fair. I feel like bloat would be the wrong term to use in regards to a search engine though 😅
Data that absolutely must be backed up.
Data that would be nice to have backed up, but you can live without if the worst happens.
I’d then recommend setting up a solution that you can then immediately start using to store data that fits into the first category I’ve listed above. Once you have that in place, you can then, over time (because these things do take time), start shifting existing data that fits into Category 1, over to this new setup.
That is a really good way to break things down. My folders of modded games take quite a bit to backup. I can probably skip the files of the mods themselves for a while because while they’d be nice to have because it’s a pain to redownload them, I can live with having to redownload them.
A more ideal setup, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and deep-dive into the world of self-hosting, would be to save up for something like a Dell optiplex PC. Set this up at home with something like Nextcloud so that you can have your data sync between you Windows, Mac and Nextcloud server. And then, depending on the configurability of your home router, set up a Wireguard or OpenVPN server on the optiplex so you can VPN to your Nextcloud server from your laptop when you are away from home.
I’d like to explore self-hosting someday and I’ve heard good things about NextCloud, but doesn’t this kind of defeat the purpose of having a cloud backup since I’d want it to be offsite?
Backblaze needs to see your computer once every 6 months, and any external hard drives you’re backing up every 30 days.
I have ADHD so this is the part that concerns me the most.
I’m also a bit worried about the time it’ll take. Especially since I have quite a bit of stuff to back up and I don’t want to have my computer and drives running for days, and I don’t want to feel like I can’t use my computer in that time period.
That’s…really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it’s pricey)
His apology “for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused” was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a “political litmus test”.
He’s shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?
Wait why would the search engine be the bloat part?
Threads had no discovery features?! Jesus Christ…
Fwiw this is about Brave Search, not the Brave Browser
I kept hearing about Akkoma but never really knew what it was. Thank you for sharing!
Damn. I was considering checking out Calckey…
I mean there are probably other instances but it still sucks
I never noticed anything like that.
Apple stopped giving their new products the"i" prefix because they weren’t able to trademark it because “you can’t trademark a letter.”
I doubt that they’ll allow Elon Musk to trademark the letter “x”
I was curious about Calckey/Firefish, I’m even more curious now haha.
Call Me Kevin’s videos are golden. I’ve rewatched his Comedy Night series so many times. Iconic. His Sims videos are always a riot.
One of my favorite videos of his is this video he made in “The Movies.” The final result is at the end of the video and it is a glorious experience.
I’ve also been watching a lot of short horror game playthroughs from Markiplier and Kubz Scouts, like the ones where they play 3 random scary games. They both have an episode where they play Bad Ben and it’s so good. It’s the first game in both episodes. The game is fucking hilarious, has a specific feature that I think all horror games should have now, and actually has a really cool ending. Apparently it’s based on a film by Nigel Bach.
I also enjoyed watching them react to analog horror based games, especially ones inspired by The Mandela Catalogue. The aforementioned Kubz Scouts video includes Maple County. There’s also The Fear Assessment and the video Markiplier did on it is…chaotic. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Already??? Windows 11 just came out
I’m using it right now and it’s really cool!
…Why isn’t the bookmark button working though?
Wow! That’s really cool! Good for the devs at TreeStyleTab!!!
