Have ADHD. I’ve been taking a GLP-1/GIP compounded injection for a year and it has done nothing for nicotine or poor impulse control shopping. If anything it made the shopping worse as clothes no longer fitting becomes a great excuse to shop. At least that’s my experience.

Been on a GLP-1/GIP compounded injection for a year. Lost 90lbs.

I physically have a hard time overeating on fats/protiens. Like I want to vomit. Meat consumption is way down from before.

Simple carbs like starches and sugar I can overinduldge on but seem to get sick faster than before taking the medication.

It mostly helps with food related cravings but its not a silver bullet. I can still fallback to emotional eating under high stress and fluctuate +5 lbs with water retention. Its just much easier to recover.

I lost about 1/3 the weight on my own tracking everything. With the medication it tripled the rate of loss and I didn’t need to track anymore. I’m much more able to trust my body and hunger signals developing a healthier relationship with food.

Pandas/Polars is all I need in a Jupyter notebook to replace Excel. Its not even a contest if you know some python for doing any real work.

I concede Excel has a lower bearer to entry for teams composed of mixed technical abilities.

Sounds like one hell of a dopamine hit. Like the self-induced pressure from procrasting injected with steroids, topped with a drizzle of adrenaline, and dusted with the strongest speed humanity has to offer.

I work with a Swift fan. They’ll cut you if you talk smack, lol. I don’t get her appeal but the observation of her fans is real.

The contrast and how vivid it is look off from what I remember. Hardware for rendering has improved a lot since it came out. Maybe the animation masked the “simplicity” for lack of a better term.

Pebble Time 2.

Mostly sleep and step counting. Media controls on occasion. Just got it so not had a chance to customize it much yet.

Coming from, in order: Garmin Vivoactive 5, 4, 3, 2, Pebble Time, Pebble OG.

Preferred the healthstats on the Garmin out of the box. Great indicator if I’m getting sick based on its measurements or if I’m not being as active as I should be.

I typically do $25-$50/yr (about $2-$4/mo). Matches the asking price for services with basic cloud supported features.

Nix user. The declaritive config IS the documentation and I enjoy no longer having to document how to setup my system as much. I don’t enjoy scripting or automating things, but I enjoy the benefits of only needing to do it once via Nix’s config system.

I enjoy engineering: an engineer will spend 3 hours figuring out how to do a 2 hour job in 1 hour.

Same. 80/20 rule. Even reaching 80% of my privacy goals for 20% of the effort was a ton of work. Netting that last 20% for 4x the effort I already put it in just isn’t worth it.

what did you like more about rclone than Cryptomator?

I wanted to leave Dropbox and ran across it. I liked the number of supported backends under one tool. I use it to access things beyond Backblaze like gdrive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Proton Drive. Well documented config file format. I was able to manage the config with Nix due to this.

Is it suitable for sync, or is it more for backups

It works great for one way sync. Bisync I never got working well enough to trust it. Bisync is nice for 3-way merges (two devices modifying files on the same cloud drive). Dropbox, gdrive, OneDrive win here. I’ve learned to live without it.

I’m ideally looking for near-ish to real-time sync for contacts, notes, files, and pictures

On a computer the fuse mounted volumes are near live. Cahce locally in a VFS. Anything else you’d have to script probably. There is rclone-watch but can’t say I’ve tested it

With Round Sync you can browse with live refresh when you move between directories, but syncing would be on a schedule. Looks like a 15m interval is the fastest frequency.

Are there any frontends for Linux you’d recommend, or do you script out the functionality you’re looking to implement?

I mostly just mount on login with the VFS cache. Use my normal file browser. One command per mount. Its rare (practically never) that I need to work on something without internet, so I don’t deal with trying to script syncs. I tried in the early days of playing with it, but fuse mounts ended up meeting my needs.

No GUI that I use outside of my normal file browser. The only thing I need to use the CLI for is cleaning up soft deleted files and old versions (Backblaze specific thing).

It might not have the functionality you are looking for as far as app integrations, but my progression was Dropbox -> Cryptomator over Dropbox -> rclone over Backblaze B2.

You can nest a “crypt” remote (end-to-end encryption with your own private key) over tons of cloud providers. You can mount it like a drive in Linux.

Round Sync is an Android client that can schedule cronlike backups. Pretty much set it and forget it on my phone. I delete things on my phone when I need space and every couple years go cleanup what’s in B2.

Dropbox was better priced at max capacity when I used it ($120/yr for 2TB?). My Backblaze bill started at $1/mo and is like $4/mo now. Its been a couple years since I cleaned things out and could probably cut that in half.

Same. None of that self-hosted cloud storage is going to save you from data loss in the event of a fire or theft unless you plan for offsite.

I just use rclone with Backblaze B2, end-to-end encrypted with my own private key, and call it a day.

I have a mirrored BYOD setup for my media server but its all stuff I can download again. Its just an onsite cache with a little redundancy against a failed drive.

Sleep it off in a coffin like a vampire? They didn’t say you could starve.

passkeys for most is just fairy dust and magic.

I suspect this is why Microsoft is forcing users into it. Not that I agree with or am defending that decision.

I can’t stand being forced into magic link email logins which are designed to also deal with phishing. Takes longer to login compared to Passwords+TOTP or Passkeys and email isn’t exactly private for the majority.

They aren’t magic. Its the same cryptographic signature primitive seen in applications like PGP or blockchains/cryptocurrencies.

I agree to most users they feel magical and are more difficult to reason about. You still “have” a private key stored on the device, but its invisible to the user, so it’s not something you “know”.

Awesome! With the recent direction BitWarden is going, I’ll be switching soon then to self-hosted.

Google allows for them to be used for 2FA.

You can use them for the password also which I didn’t know. You have to choose sign in another way to get the option.

Yeah I need to check out vaultwarden. Huge disappointment as its been a great product, but I’m not liking where the recent website changes are heading.

Passkeys are objectively better. They close the phishing attack vector. Depending on the site they remove the need to use a password at all. Different sites do different things.

• GitHub: Passkey only
• Amazon: Passkey -> SMS/Authenticator 2FA
• Google: Password -> Passkey 2FA (one of the options)
