MS Auth has got to be the worst 2FA I’ve ever used.

My workplace has it set up where I have to input a second factor several times a day on each device. It’s agonizing.

The Voyager app helps with this.

One need not look far

RAID is a great backup alternative.

Remind me to never fly with you in real life. At least not right before a new book in a series you’re into comes out.

Came here to suggest unraid as well. There are probably better options, but for a first timer, I can’t imagine a better solution. The ability to just add a hard drive to the array with virtually not configuration, as well as adding up to two parity disks is great. Caching is super easy too.

Plus they now support zfs so there’s that.

Do I have to enable HDR in Plasma settings? Because when I do, and then log out, plasma crashes and I have to log into a different DE and disable HDR in the terminal.

Does this mean I could finally enjoy HDR content on my OLED HDR monitor?

I guess I meant it’s a lot of work to set up initially. Especially if you don’t have experience.

I like the idea of deduplication and checksumming to prevent bit rot. It also sounds like backups via snapshots is extremely powerful, but maybe that’s something btrfs can do too.

Ultimately though it would be about learning. That’s what’s drawn me to Linux in the first place.

I don’t have experience with this because I use Google docs for simple documents and latex for anything serious, but it may help.

I started using qbit about a year ago after using deluge. I have gb down and 100mb up.

Unironically, a lot of that ratio is from Linux isos and other open source software distribution. Take the load off their servers!

I, too, am a seeder.

This brings a whole new meaning to pinch-to-zoom.

Word on the street is that one of the mods forgot to renew the domain. I heard that it will probably be up and running again before too long.

I wonder how this compares to DarkTable?

My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.

Have you used Koreader? That’s one reason I would get a kobo. As well as their new partnership with ifixit.

I also like the idea (which apparently doesn’t work with koreader) of syncing with Pocket. I don’t use Pocket, but would start if it meant I had a nice read it later ereader.

What does kobo do that kindle doesn’t? I’ve been thinking about switching since I damaged my kindle, but calibre works great and I love the kindle hardware.
