I’m noticing other comments are mentioning other services so I’ll just throw another one out there: Storj
I have a NAS, but use Storj for off-site backup. The performance, client-side encryption (by default) and price are all winners in my book. They’ve got an S3 gateway too but I personally avoid it due to it needing keys for encryption.
(I also used to rent out excess hard disk space to their network in the early days but that’s another story.)
In high school I used to pass USB flash drives in an Altoid can (to protect it), good times.
I also used to be the CD-R guy (and later DVD+RW) for my group of friends, I was really into .cue sheets and putting hidden tracks on those (including dumb shit like seeking back in the middle of a slow song would reveal heavy metal or something).
These days I host a Tailscale network — unfortunately with residential upload speeds being trash, I’ve moved all my Blu-ray rips to Storj and set up a WebDAV gateway on a VPS (running Tailscale). It’s fast as hell but I’m not in love with decrypting on the VPS.
To add to this, I’d personally just clone the card immediately to somewhere else then do all the recovery efforts on the clone; if only to avoid burning out the SD card even more during recovery.
Especially if you’re like me and you use a random password generator set to the max characters allowed.
The downside is entering it into a VR headset character by character. Fuck me I’ll never understand why Oculus Quest couldn’t just scan a QR code (it’s been a long time, don’t know if this has changed).
Wouldn’t the country and domain dissolving mean it can be reassigned? I don’t understand why after that it would still be considered a country TLD only available for future countries.
I get it that everyone wants ad blockers in their browser, but it doesn’t solve the problem of resources loading outside the browser.
I think DNS or IP filtering is much more effective. I only bring it up because everyone uses apps all the time and I’m constantly seeing apps trying to connect to tracking domains.
I use Smultron for personal work, and both Smultron and VS Code for work. There are things I like/dislike about each, but my main gripe with VS Code is that it is way, way harder on resources than it should be.
rclone mount is pretty great but if you’re doing any heavy workloads that expect all the files to be there, maybe syncing (rclone copy, rclone sync) is the better route.
Just be very careful with rclone sync because it can lead to unexpected data loss if you don’t know what you’re doing.
I didn’t see that, but I have DNS blocking just about everything (assuming that the notifications prompt came from a third party script). I’m also VPN’d into Switzerland so I got the convenient “Reject All” button too.
Just block ‘em with DNS and/or IP filtering; you won’t be dependent on a browser and as a bonus you’ll get system-wide blocking
