privacy implies vpn (or some mix-net), but not the opposite… so if you want privacy, you need a vpn, but a vpn by itself doesn’t give you privacy

i changed it so that ppl on lemmy who may not be familiar with the syntax of find could read it easier? maybe it made it more confusing

give it back!

yeah i didnt want to script removing the tmp files bc theyre sometimes useful… usually i do read;find -delete; as like a “confirm” for me…

also, i do backup, but i guess only once a month… i was in the middle of a backup, the commands were: git add --all; git commit; find -delete; git push; and then confusion when i saw the .git folder was gone

ive been doing this for over a decade and this is the second (third?) time something like this has happened.

anyway, not trying to defend myself, maybe i should script the find and delete thing… but i just wanna hopefully prevent someone else’s data deletion.

I’m sorry Dave

i just deleted a month of notes by doing:

find $(pwd) “*.tmp” -delete

instead of:

find $(pwd) -iname “*.tmp” -delete

turns out the former throws an error on “*.tmp” but still deletes everything lol… PSA for everyone

it’s probably really cheap and reliable to build it that way? that’s what i always assume when i hear “dumb” design for some products

but that flat ice ball is on a ball of lava

trust is multiplicative, not additive

it’s a good thing they didn’t lay off anyone important… just coinbase employees

what’s different about wurm unlimited vs wurm online?

against the storm isn’t fun for me idky I’m always not understanding why stuff isn’t working and then missing some specific resource and losing. i really want to enjoy it though. i found that timberborn is kinda a level-based city builder as long as you decide when you’ve “won”

ironically, hipsters are not hip (except ironically)

but everyone just used centos instead. was that a failure of the commercial foss idea?

had to switch contractors mid way through

one time i saw uber was $60 bc i was in downtown so i walked into a residential area and it dropped to $30. the driver came from downtown to pick me up.
