This community was abandoned by the previous mods, we're in need of more mods and added content. I've been trying to keep it alive. If your interested comment below that your interested. Even if your not interested in a mod position, anybody is able to post "There was an attempt" content for the community to enjoy.

Keep in mind that as a moderator, it is up to us to make sure all posts follow the Lemmy.World’s rules, and the community rules.

Squirrel attempts to fake injury/death with a broom. Failed as it was caught on video, nice try.

Honestly, I don't believe its fair to say "all you can eat" unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.

But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

An attempt was made to get people to come, I believe there was some miscommunication.

Purpose: To share pro-consumer products and service that truly have the forethought of the consumer first. Such as easy of use/setup, privacy & security, fair pricing and just generally good pro-consumer business practices.

Goal: To develop a community that will host a list of products/services that you may be in the market for. Hopefully, it will make the buying decision a little easier and thus promoting actual great things.

I am only one person, I don't have a bunch of free time but I will be working on putting together posts when possible. Please feel free to add things here with the rules and this introduction in mind.

Great resource for seeds, information and so much more if your looking at building or expanding a truly useful garden.

This goes over how AI is scraping public data online, what that means and a few options to prevent it.

I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

Elon Musk has tried to re-brand PayPal as "X" years ago and was shot down due to focus groups stating it reminded them of adult websites.

Thiel and PayPal co-founder Max Levchin plotted a coup against Musk while he was on his first vacation in years. The board fired Musk as CEO in September 2000 and replaced him with Thiel. Thiel formally changed the name of the combined company to PayPal in 2001.

Interesting but potentially dangerous tactic, ultimately failed the attempt.

Anybody else get those couple people who just think it can't happen to them even if it has a few times already? Maybe they'll start paying attention now...

From now on, I'm not even connecting to the families home WiFi

Interesting read, good information and something to look forward too in the world of cryptographic keys.

This did not help the situation, imo I don't believe they would actually be considered "less scary". But if they worked, they worked?

Seriously, what's the error rate on these things anyways. It's pretty outrageous these days.

I wanted to see what others are using and recommending. I'm looking at going over to a self-hosted NAS option primarily for backup but ideally to work off of too.

I have only about 80GB of backups, only about 5GB are files I often use and access. I want to switch so I have full control over my data but would still plan to make encrypted containers to upload to cloud storage for redundancy.

An option that does have some type of automatic sync/backup would be ideal, and it would be setup for local use only. I won't ever have to access it remotely.

So far the best I've found would be something like "Synology DS220+". I originally considered setting up a local ubuntu server and use something like sftp for backup but its more time extensive and lacks added features.

What's your recommendations? And if anyone knows of software to remove duplicates, it'd save me maybe 20GB of storage. Thanks!
