    Yep, I have a decently large free dropbox account and just use Cryptomator to continue using it

  • s3rvant s3rvant 10mo ago 100%

    It was decent; we had fried them lightly before adding to our soup but that made the texture different than expected. Was still tasty so we'll be experimenting on how to best perfect it :)

    For reference I have this one: https://a.co/d/94y5ID3

    You use it while still seated so the water drips back into the toilet bowl; no mess there

    I do use paper too to dry or further cleaning if needed

    If you look at the 3rd picture on the link above you'll see that the sprayer lowers down while spraying and then retracts back behind a guard; I've never seen the guard or sprayer themselves get dirty from general toilet use

    No, the water pressure isn't so intense that it would scatter debris everywhere

    I first used one at a friend's house and found it does a far better job cleaning compared to just paper alone and would certainly recommend giving it a try

    Unofficial Link's Awakening PC port put to sleep by Nintendo
  • s3rvant s3rvant 10mo ago 100%

    How to play on desktop Linux:

    • Add the game as a non-Steam game within Steam
    • Install Glorious Eggroll and set it as the compatibility tool in the game's properties
    • On first launch it will prompt to install .NET 6.0 - go ahead and download it to the same directory
    • Open the game's properties in Steam and change the path to the .NET installer then run and install it
    • Change the path back to the game's EXE and it will play

  • What's a cozy, preferably non-alcoholic drink to enjoy for cozy wintery nights?
  • s3rvant s3rvant 11mo ago 100%

    Hot camomile tea; can add a spoonful of honey. I buy a pound at a time and lasts a long while.

    shower water is preferable to a water bowl
  • s3rvant s3rvant 11mo ago 87%

    Jokes aside cats do prefer running water over stagnant

    I got one of the cat bowl water fountains and placed it a few feet from our cat's normal bowl to see which would run out of water first and from that point the normal bowl water level did not move so water fountain it is

  • How to backup 2FA
  • s3rvant s3rvant 11mo ago 100%

    I use Aegis like several others here and then backup my codes to a Cryptomator vault which I can then sync online for cloud backup

  • Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?
  • s3rvant s3rvant 11mo ago 100%

    Minecraft / Minetest - I'm used to games with active quests etc. so the openness threw me off but now I host a server for the kiddos and we have all sorts of adventures and random builds

    I've spun up Gitea in my homelab as well as at work and don't recall being difficult so perhaps they fixed whatever was causing your issue

  • Should I rethink the encryption method of my backup drives?
  • s3rvant s3rvant 12mo ago 100%

    This is exactly my backup strategy even using cryptomator for a cloud backup. My PC and kiddos laptops are all linux so have no worries about needing a Windows machine for recovery and even if all systems died I could always use a live distro to boot elsewhere and access my files.

  • What MMOs are you all playing?
  • s3rvant s3rvant 12mo ago 100%

    Got that itch again recently too and after looking through what's currently popular decided to give EVE Online and Black Desert (on private server) a try

    I like open world survival crafting games (loved Valheim) and prefer to play with others so am hoping these will work out

    Also played some GW2 few months back for a while and I host a Minetest server for our kiddos where I dabble as well

    Got in a 2-player game tonight with our 11yr; he did pretty good only needing help for the first few turns

    We spent too much time in round 1 though leaving us low on cards for round 2

    Game ended with 7 of the 36 discs remaining
