I keep all my genders and related information in KeePronounXC, which stores my pronouns in an encrypted format locally. It also lets me generate new, complex genders so I can use a unique one per relationship.

I’m proud of you. Linux Mint was my first daily-driver distro and it’s still one I’d recommend to newcomers. I hope you have a great time with it!

I’ve had a great experience with the TrueNAS Mini-X system I bought. ZFS has great raid options, and TrueNAS makes managing a system really easy. You can get a box built & configured by them, with 16 GB ECC RAM and five (empty) drive bays, for about $1150 at the most affordable end. https://www.truenas.com/truenas-mini/

One thing to be careful about: you can’t add drives to a ZFS vdev once it’s been created, but you can add new vdevs to an existing pool. So, you can start with two mirrored drives, then add another two mirrored drives to that pool later.

(A vdev is a sub-unit of a ZFS storage pool, and you have to choose your RAID topology for each vdev and then compose those into a storage pool)

Borderlands 2 is my favorite in the franchise, for sure.

The common wisdom about backups is the 3-2-1 backup strategy, which recommends:

• 3 total copies of your data, including your original or “production” data
• 2 different forms of media
• 1 off-site copy

Proton Drive can be a decent off-site backup, but it would be a good idea to make a separate backup of your data on a different form of media like an external hard drive, just in case Proton Drive goes down, or the data there gets corrupted and you need to restore a known good version.

Check out gamemode if you’re gaming, it should improve performance a little bit

There are a bunch of message broker services out there, and having a consistent set of common keys along with a documented process for transforming events to/from different systems means that this kind of data can move through different systems without getting mangled. It does have a spec for JSON, so it can be considered just a standardized JSON blob with transformation rules. But it also has a protobuf spec, specs for MQTT, NATS, HTTP, Avro, etc. It’s a common language for all these systems.

I’m really into CloudEvents because I love event-driven systems, and since events can come from, or be consumed by, so many different services, having a robust spec is super duper useful.

Objectively incorrect I hate that goddamn gopher

Many tools that use GPG, especially package managers, will download keys so they can verify signatures. It’s nothing to worry about. That developer probably signed something you use.

I loved it, it was a fantastic finale. Different from the manga, but I think it worked so well in anime form.

I was watching Apothecary Diaries alongside Frieren so I gotta recommend that one.

I do like that Frieren thoroughly justified violence against demons, and then thoroughly demonstrated violence against demons.

Warframe’s The War Within was better.

(Probably. I’m never touching WoW, I was an EverQuest 2 kid and I’ll remain such until the day I die)

Nice! I’m pretty interested, the exercise anime actually did inspire me to start working out so maybe this will inspire me to eat better too.

I don’t know if I’m going to love it or hate it but if it’s anything like How Heavy Are the Dumbbells That You Lift then it’s going to inspire me to keep working out.

If there are dozens of thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am one of them.

If there is one thirsty lesbian using Arch Linux, it’s me.

If there are no thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am no longer on Earth.

If the world is against thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am against the world.

Any girls wanna pull my hair and read me the Arch wiki 👀
