Let me add the “teleporting” stuff during the train ride. Also, what determines in which direction the blurry woman appears? And why didn’t Ruby - in all those years - not try to throw a stone or a bottle after her - just to see what happens? And if that scary lady really was “old Ruby”, how did she endure days/weeks/years outside in the rain?

Thinking about this, when Ruby was pacing around inside the pub while the other guy went outside… that blurry lady must’ve floated around - always keeping exactly 73 yards distance from Ruby, right?

And how did the “scary” stuff even work with the trained UNIT elite professionals that were explicitly briefed to “not make eye contact, don’t listen to anything”, etc.? And it even worked via radio with Kate, the snipers, etc… And suddenly, Kate wasn’t even interested in the location of the TARDIS anymore? Nor did this head(!) of UNIT say anything at all about WHY she was abandoning Ruby.

Oh, and why did the PM abandon all his plans for buying WMDs and stuff when all other people that had contact with the blurry lady just abandoned Ruby? Where’s the connection here? It clearly wasn’t the reason for the blurry lady as she was still there afterwards.

Also what is it with The Doctor stepping on things? Didn’t the fucking landmine teach him to watch his steps?

This episode was a mess IMHO. Like a fever dream - just that it was never suggested it was one.

Also: SpotNet (with e.g. SpotWeb as a client)

What you suggest sounds a lot like the “Briefcase” that was in Windows 9x. I don’t know of something similar, especially not something integrated into Linux.

The easiest way might be to setup SyncThing to share all of your different folders and then subscribe to those you need on your laptop. Just be aware that if you delete a file on your laptop it will also be deleted on your desktop on the next sync. Unsubscribe from the folder first before freeing up the disk space.

Check out the Victorinox @work series - so you can have your USB and screwdrivers always with you.

Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.

EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it’s no affiliate link, so I don’t even get anything if somebody clicks on it.

What makes you think there’s no way of updating the firmware? Also, they could be made so that there’s a simple API (like a serial device exposed via USB) and apps for Win/macOS/Linux to update the label. But I guess the demand was never there.

Same here. Like “Cold! Look elsewhere…” 🤣

It’s a shame these never took off. I’d love for my various USB drives to have displays that show their labels and maybe even contents.

What’s the big selling point compared to ranger, nnn, yazi or broot?

Rather use dd_rescue as it’ll retry if it encounters any reading issue.

This! And I’d probably add par2 parity files - just in case some bitrot happens.

And it has repair tools that actually work and can make the filesystem usable again.

Back in the days we had these things. But I doubt this would work with USB-C adapters and a Steam Deck.

Part of the experience to me is reading all the comments and leaving my 2¢. So I’m using the Share → Embed workaround so far.

Most modern Intel chipsets support “Dual Role Device” (DRD) where they can act as host or client as needed.

Instagram for geeks. My geeky followers follow me there, the normal people are still on Instagram where I post the same.

What’s next? Do they maybe also want landlords to cancel renting agreements over this? Supermarkets to not sell to these people?

At least in Germany, many of these copyright claims have no real legal grounds and wouldn’t hold up in an actual trial. All cases I’ve read into so far ended with a settlement - as the private person was too afraid of even more legal fees. Or were dropped completely after a while (full of empty threats) if the people never engaged with the other party.

DMCA is only valid in the US. Those other countries obeying it are usually just doing it to avoid trouble, but there’s no real legal obligation. (But if ignored, it is pretty safe to assume that any bigger company would look into local laws and try to find a different way.) But from what I’ve heard, hosters don’t just close your account because of some DMCA. They will actually look into it and work with you to solve it.

And in the end, you could simply host it on a Raspberry Pi at your home. The ISP can’t be held responsible for the data you transfer, so they won’t just shut down your Internet connection. And if you get a strongly worded letter from some company, you can send it directly to the recycling bin.
