For me his skyrim video back in the day had me crying. But I'm sure if I watched it now it wouldn't be as magical.

Yes, it will count towards your bandwidth.

I typically don't get anywhere close to this though.

The few times I did were due to initiating large backups between devices, upwards of 2TB. But I've since moved my backup system to a mesh network and haven't hit bandwidth overages since.

I recommend it every time this question pops up and I'm surprised more people aren't privy to it:

Rent a VPS as your public gateway. Connect the VPS to your server with a simple wireguard tunnel.

The only thing on the VPS should be a reverse proxy with SSL/TLS pass through.

Send the traffic at the VPS reverse proxy to a reverse proxy on the main server. Configure this proxy to use letsencrypt certs.

The benefit and importance of the SSL pass through reverse proxy, is that it allows all data in transit to remain encrypted until it reaches your physical server. Traditionally, most would suggest the one and only reverse proxy exist on the VPS but all traffic would then be decrypted on the VPS. This could obviously compromise your traffic if the VPS provider snoops or your VPS is compromised.

Cloudflare tunnels decrypt on their hardware as well, which is why I always recommend avoiding their services.

Backblaze deleted my project drive for a multimillion dollar project I was archiving through their desktop sync. It's largely my fault for not noticing the drive had failed when considering their upfront policy about them deleting your backups after a month of inactivity. Luckily it didn't have too big of an impact because the most important files were backed up elsewhere. I do wish their desktop app had better warnings about imminent deletions though.

That's what I was hoping to do but it's really difficult on Fedora for some reason.

Arch and Ubuntu you can specify the driver version, but the Fedora method is dnf install akmod-nvidia with no other available options (unless you want legacy drivers for really old hardware).

To my further frustration, any amount of searching just leads to a ton of AI generated slop articles.

I finally got around to installing this app but it requires an account. Is this a recent requirement?

I can't remember any time in the last 2 years before I deleted my reddit account where a post I made didn't get auto-moderated.

This is encouraging. Thank you.

My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.

I should re-iterate I download the emails to use in an offline client. Their service doesn't support third party clients to receive and send email.

When I do taxes, I need to search thousands of emails for receipts and the tuta apps make this impossible. This is my workaround.

I've used Tuta for years, paid account with multiple custom domains.

I prefer them for their principles, but their clients are extremely frustrating. Emails load very slowly and their email search is basically unusable.

I've resorted to downloading old emails and using other clients to import and search through them. I really wish they would improve their email search.

SDR is Standard Dynamic Range. This is how most media is viewed and has been viewed for decades, typically in the Rec709 color space. 99% of consumer devices display in SDR.

HDR is a newer technology that expands the dynamic range passed Rec709 color space. It requires an HDR capable screen to display HDR content and most content is not distributed in this format, although this has been changing in the last few years.

I personally find HDR kind of a gimmick, but my point is that HDR != HD. SDR/HDR describe contrast ratios and how many colors are rendered. SD/HD describe resolution.

The chart does show them downgrading the plans from 4K/UHD to HD though.

The wiki entry has a chart which shows all plans have access to HD content. Is the chart wrong or did the contributor confuse SD with SDR?

Either way fuck HBO.

This has been my experience as well. What tweaks are you making to default librewolf?

I've been on Lemmy for years and have yet to see a single nsfw post.

I didn't realize they even existed.

Settle down, partner.

First thing I tried but I think you need to provide it with your YouTube login cookie to download age restricted content.

I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

At least with a reddit or Lemmy style social media platform, I can click on the text snippet and be brought to a more in depth post about it. And it's simple to navigate replies for useful information.

Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it's a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void...

I use nginx for static websites and TLS passthrough servers.

I use traefik as a reverse proxy for sites with many services and SSO.

Nginx is definitely easier to configure for simple things. But I prefer traefik for more complex setups.
