>Would it be worthwhile setting up an external RAID 1 storage solution to back up my shit?
Yes if you don't already have a dedicated backup solution

>Do any /g/entoomen use RAID 1 at all outside of an IT/work setting?
RAID is usually not worth while outside of an enterprise setting because of the drives needed, unless you just have some spare drives lying around like you

>>61563541
Wow needing 3 whole disks rather than 2 is totally not worth it. Haha it's not like a backup should have any redundancy

>>61563454
I use RAID 1. Though I'm a hoarder and have a lot more stuff than you probably have. There's a few reasons to use it - two is the minimum number of drives needed to get redundancy (this is why you'll see a lot of servers with RAID 1 boot drives), it's simple and fast to implement, and (my situation) if you're using ZFS its the easiest way to make an array that's easy to expand later. ZFS has the irritating limitation that vdevs are immutable and can't be changed or removed once added. If you make those vdevs mirrors, then you can add disks, or replace disks to expand storage, two at a time, instead of three or more at a time.

Anyway you might as well use your old disks for backups, if you've nothing else to do with them. Can't hurt, might help.

>>61563541
RAID isn't a backup, but if you're a hobbyist with more data than you can afford to keep proper backups of, it'll do. You don't get anything offsite, so you're vulnerable to shit like lightning and fires, but you get protection from drive death, bit rot, and some history if you use snapshots.

Because VP9 exists and is the child of prophecy.

PLEASE ENCODE MORE ANIMU IN H265

Storage still cheaper than processing.

The optical isn't connected at the moment, turns out I am short SATA cables

Apps run usually on Java or ObjectiveC, while websites are giant spaghetti of JavaScript with dependencies. This makes apps faster and more stable.

And it's easier to collect private data in app, rather than in browser.

Fpbp

>>61563249
Not true at all. Apps are better optimized and more useful on mobile platform

He's just asking you why you are changing from x.com. He likes x so when you change it he's just asking you
Why

>>61563256
Makes sense, but maybe it's x:y format? Like a GPS or something? It's quite ambiguous desu

>>61563198
x.org is a better domain though.

What do you mean by interactive?

>>61563248
Buzzwords used by /v/ manchildren to rationalize.

>>61563248
you update your rules when new apps try to access internet

Scratched my Apple iPhone 6 on a wooden table. Its really annoying, how do I use it ??

Flash is finally dead, so.. no?

>>61562904
Why? Flash will be permanently dead and gone in a few years.

>>61563313
I've been hearing this since 2010 lad

It's a meme, there's always gonna be a website using flash, specially third world media websites (tv channels and whatnot).

block scrips

>>61562869

I mean they make their money off of the ads and while it is your right to block the ads it's also their right to block their content for people that prevent them from making money

Incredibly sustainable.
Software optimization is completely fucking irrelevant to the average user.

>>61562775
if the hypothetical applications can run in an optimized, shared context, kinda like browser tabs AND they make use of wasm for expensive computations then it's very sustainable
and it will happen sooner than later

btw I can run vscode (electron), streamlink-twitch-gui (nw.js) and a dev build of my game (electron) on 4 gigs of ram and I have plenty left for shit like a browser, video player and terminal emulators

they don't give half a shit about the user's computing resources, they assume they're abundant and are content to waste them. Dev time though, that costs them money.

I guarantee you they'll be resistant to changing the current dynamic because of this. They'll want people to accept it as the status quo, it saves them money.

>>61562696
nah

Technically VPN usage won't be limited yet, since a lot of companies use it for it's intended purpose. Current ban implies ban on third-party VPN services, which is not a big deal since you can always set up your own VPN server in yurop.

Also there's not much an outsider can do. "Tor bridges" is Mr. Robot-tier activism because it doesn't solve any actual issues with laws and government. If you have inherently malicious government after you, you're fucked. Tor can be made illegal, so no one will use it. As a matter of fact, there is already at least one russian in jail for hosting a tor node.

The problem is that Russians are fucking stupid and don't heavily oppose this kind of shit since goverment have been tightening the screws very slowly, with a lot of support from mainstream media heavily demonizing any opposition. There's so much propaganda on the TV, every censorship or anti-privacy law introduced since 2012 is actually being cheered upon.

Only thing the onlooker can do is learn and be more politically active to prevent the same situation in your country, don't repeat the same mistake many russians did years ago, because it's a give an inch / take a mile situation. "Being politically active" doesn't mean torching cars, though, it means educating other people and motivating them to stand for their rights. And don't meme on them because they don't use your favourite flavor of Linux, because then no one will take you seriously, and you will be in a minority. And if you're a minority, when the society and the goverment come after you, you won't be the leet hackerman in a hoodie, you'll just get squashed.

I'm guessing using an ergonomic keyboard didn't help much.

My hands are permanently fucked (thritis). I'm 22.

Holy shit. I'm sorry for you, bruh. Care to steer your story?

If you have a decent card with hardware Midi synth, install Voyetra MIDI Orchestrator.

What kind of vidya do you like? I might be able to find some /vr/ recommended lists.

>tfw I still use Adobe Photoshop 7.0 in Wine and prefer it over GIMP
