Canadians: First time?

I have been using a flip phone since 2017, but I’m considering switching to VOIP since I don’t use my phone much anyway.

and Session!

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.

I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.

I back up my home folder to an encrypted drive once a week using rsync, then I create a tarball, encrypt it, and upload it to protondrive just in case.

Yup, and some servers are very active.

I had to look up what a tankie was. Back in the day, we called them ‘pinkos’.

I find the hot/active categories pretty confusing too. It would be nice to be able to show subbed communities either across the top of the page or on a sidebar like old Reddit.

Why is lemmygrad so popular?
