Use the client to sync all your files to disk instead of the website.

Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car? in c/[email protected]

I've driven a diesel Renault for 12 years (loke 300k km) and didn't need to replace any of those. The only big unplanned cost I had was a faulty EGR valve, which happened at 600km and wasn't warranty for some reason.

That said regular oil change for clutch and brakes were mildly expensive, but I guess even for EV you'd want the brake hydraulics replaced the same way.

Edit : just spotted filters. Yeah I replaced every filter every service, but with how grimy they look, even in EV I'd argue for replacing them.

What comics (including webcomics) have the most distinctive art? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Transmetropolitan, though I have a hard time deciding whether is it the style or the characters. Probably both.

Knights of Sidonia was drawn by an architect. Definitely shows - thel background / landscape shots are quite ridiculously good and give you the scope a lot of comics tend to miss.

Well yeah, that is true. Security and convenience are usually at odds... MFA has place, unless you don't mind some guy from russia access your online bank account ; but I definitely wouldn't use it on all my accounts.

That's between platforms though. I like my stuff self-managed. Unless it provenly works with full offline solutions I'll remain sceptical.

If the passkeys aren't managed by your devices fully offline then you're just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

Soon smartglasses will look like regular glasses though. Miniaturisation isn't about to stop.

Naked Gun
Airplane!
Men in Tights

La Soupe aux choux (Cabbage Soup from Louis de Funes)

Yeah, the last one is oddly popular in my country. No clue why. Must be something in the water.

What's a long-standing mystery that still preoccupies you? in c/[email protected]

Somehow I find the Big Crunch more comforting than Big Rip...

Where did the matter/energy for Big Bang come from? On that note, what is outside the border of the universe?

To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.

Ehhh I'm not sure how I got skimmed. Better safe than sorry now, a deleted card is pretty foolproof
