       @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

       I'm not sure if I knew Jack nuked his bsky account, but apparently he's quit the board  and spends all his time on Xitter https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/05/jack-dorsey-says-hes-no-longer-on-the-bluesky-board/amp/

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

       @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

       @Nonilex Not a mistake; they assumed there would be no consequences (and so far that seems to be true)
