My go-to backup strategy is USB hard drives. They’re cheap, they’re fast, and nobody’s going to even try to decrypt them. Buy several, put them in a safety deposit box at your bank, rotate them weekly, and nothing short of a nuclear weapon will destroy every copy of your data at the same time.

Then some deadly pathogen with this property could be buried in the ice, too. Lovely.

How is that possible? I thought freezing caused cell membranes to tear apart.

It’s too late for that. If we don’t do something drastic, we’re not going to continue existing much longer.

argv_minus_one, hace 11 meses a RedditMigration en Reddit has started assigning power mods to subs they took over.

I was wondering when they’d get around to doing that. RIP Reddit.

argv_minus_one, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

Don’t forget to report bigots as well as blocking them.

Now I finally know what was missing from Lemmy.

The protest may not have crippled Reddit, but funding may yet do so. Word is, spez did what he did because interest rates went up, the venture capitalists demand an actual return on their investment for once, they want it now, and this is spez's desperate attempt to make that happen.

This is almost certain to fail. Lurkers, bots, and trolls aren't going to pay for flashy avatars or whatever silly gimmick he comes up with next. Advertisers aren't going to want their advertisements to appear next to trolls (see Twitter for evidence). Reddit will run out of money and collapse.

Spez may yet have the last laugh, if he manages to IPO and sell out before the music stops. Time will tell. But every non-shareholder who works for Reddit would be well advised to GTFO ASAP.

Silver lining: if not for these guys creating an actual need for search and rescue, the USCG would have to perform search-and-rescue drills at similar cost anyway.

Or so I've heard. 🤷‍♂️
