@dave@tchambers I guess I'm just old enough to not trust the cloud. Backup is local. Physical copies of CD/DVDs etc. That said I'm guilty of not "backing up" my books and my recipe book is dependent on my MariaDB/WordPress server (which I need to rectify, probably ASCII)I don't think the Internet has ever been that reliable, especially trusting anyone other than yourself with the things that matter

@davidaugust I'm not at all surprised. The black market between the US & CN is completely porous, sometimes even thru official supplier channels.

Imagine being arrested for protesting the deaths of 34,000 men, women, and children over the course of 5 months.

@mpmilestogo@youcantoo Pity about the lack of SSL Anyway when I was working & stuck on Windows Notepad++ was de rigueur. For the stuff I do these days gEdit is just fine. VSCode if I need to do anything fancy. The closer to plain ASCII the better
