  • Maybe I have just had back luck but syncing my files across all of my devices has always burned me at some point. No matter what software I have used I have overwritten something by accident or I try and delete something and it doesnt get deleted on all device. Or get a bunch of conflicting files and now i need to figure out what file I want etc…

    I do use some syncing but it is mostly between only two devices. Often times it is only a 1 way sync. For example photos on my phone get synced to my NAS automatically.

    For me keeping all of my files in one place is the way to go. I just have everything on a NAS. (TrueNAS) All of my devices connect to that and i just edit them directly over the network.

    I have a VPN for remote access.

    Genuine question for everyone. Are their any VPS providers that are not privately focused?

    I was under the impression data privacy is very important in the data center world. VPS would be included in that.

    However as far as i understand for all of them it is just a policy to not snoop. They could break in and snoop on your data if they really wanted to or were legally forced to do so. You can get around this by encrypting your data on the VPS.







  • Why not?

    If i am going to be supporting creators I think YT premium would be the way I would do it.

    YouTube Premium is super helpful in distributing money automatically to creators without needing to think about it.

    I have many many creators I tune in and out of I am not going to be trying to manage all of their patreons and trying to manage all of that.

    Honestly I have to much crap already, 99% of merch is just garbage IMO that i will never use and don’t need.

    We are just stuck in our ways over here. We just got tap payments a few years ago. Even then some vendors still don’t support tap to pay lol.

    I always wondered why the US seems to be a hold out for adopting new technology. It might just because out government is extra slow at getting anything accomplished.

    For SMS I wondered if it has something do with communicating between countries. In your experience was their extra charges involved with sending a SMS to someone in another country. (Back in the day when SMS was popular)

    Here in the US we can SMS to anyone within the US for no extra charge. And we mostly talk amongst ourselves over here. So cost wise it isn’t an issues. If I was talking to people outside the US there is no way I would use SMS.
