thankfully its pingable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, I know this is a bit off topic, but Prime (as a shopper) and Amazon quality of products is definitely tanking in my opinion. Has anyone had good experience with Walmart+? I've considered switching, but I'm skeptical.

I just stumbled upon this and it was such a blast from the past - I had to share.

With the new Outlook’s miserable data collection policies, some of us don’t want to use Outlook but still need access to an exchange based mailbox. I’ve been using this for about a year and it works really well. Not affiliated, just a happy customer.

I also use a simple text file, but for sake of context switching - I have one file for one topic - account x has a file, account y has a file, topic z has a file and everything related to it goes in. This is all now curated in my Obsidian vault that is synced via the fantastic Git plugin.

I like the one-repository approach as it works well - it resides on my NAS which is always on and it is a local backup for multiple machines. From there, I replicate to B2 as an emergency copy in the event my NAS (RAID is not backup!) dies or something horrific. I tried to make it future-proof as much as possible too - with Duplicacy, you can easily clone/copy repositories so new hardware migration will be extremely simple. Not only simple with local hardware, but easy to migrate to a different cloud storage as well. Just don't lose your repository encryption key!

Thank you for this - It is really more of a backup/testing since I leave my Flipper at home 99% of the time and rely on my real Yubi for a few things. Mainly Github which was just because I can.

I have found it pretty useful in a few situations: - USB/Mouse keyboard when the iMac you are working on has totally dead batteries for the mouse/keyboard- its not fun but works in a pinch.

- Cloning weird ceiling fans/lights. Apparently I've bought horrible remotes but this helped.

- Used this as a nightstand clock while traveling.

- Used the authenticator app as a backup Yubi key

- Mouse jiggler to keep a computer awake

- blasting tvs at restaurants is a ton of fun and my kids like that.

- And the IR functionality for Nerf Laser Ops Pro (IR laser tag) is an absolute blast - the actual Nerf guns have a delayed trigger, but with Flipper there is no delay or need to "reload" so you are an unstoppable beast.

It does so far - I have not had more than 3 or 4 commits in a single push though so it hasn't broken for me yet. The notes said that if you do have many changes it can run out of memory due to the git plugin it is using.

Just last week I fully committed to Obsidian with the git sync plugin. It took some fiddling and a bit of trust to sync 4 years of notes. (Previously I was just using Sublime Text and my notes folder as a project hooked up to my gitea instance.) But now, its like second nature and I'm looking for neat plugins that you cant live with out.
