Probably before they got greedy and decided pursuing overseas students for the higher fees while lowering standards was a long term sustainable business choice.

One other nice thing with Resilio Sync is that it supports selective sync on an easy per-folder/file basis. While you can sort of do this with Syncthing by using ignore lists, it’s much easier with Resilio since you can just right-click/open files you want to keep on your device.

I self host a Wordpress site that mostly acts as my design portfolio.

It’s hosted in a Debian VM on a restricted VLAN with caddy handling SSL certificates. Uptime isn’t a huge concern for me since it’s nothing mission critical. It all sits behind a free Cloudflare proxy which allows for my home IP to be hidden.

I think as far as safety goes, I’m comfortable with this setup.

Nano is more like fast food. It’s easy and convenient, but it makes you feel a little guilty and dirty afterwards.

In any case, I stand by my decision to almost never buy single player games within the first year or even second year of release. I save money and the worst bugs are fixed. If I keep seeing articles about a game popping up everywhere, I become even more sceptical about whether it’s hype that’s warranted.

I think the aim for this law is to make it easier to empower employees to say ‘no’ with the risk of high fines as a deterrent. Whether it makes a difference or whether employers will simply force you to agree to contact outside of work hours via updated job contracts, is anyone’s guess.

I forgot to mention, all of the client passwords for things like web hosting and social media accounts were in a plain text Word document too. The boss didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

There’ll sadly be a lot of MAGA people who think those conditions don’t exist.

Meanwhile at the place I used to work, my boss had a single hard drive holding 10 years of unencrypted client data that he expected me to use day-to-day for live tasks.
