Anyway, should you use Dropbox:
1. It seems pretty secure against social engineering the support team.
2. Make sure you’ve got those backup codes somewhere.
3. Back it up to something that’s not Dropbox (this is all part of me setting up sync from various cloud providers to a NAS I’ll always be able to access)
I’ve been trying to regain access to a long dead Dropbox account just to find out what’s in it but it’s got SMS based 2FA turned on and I no longer have that number, and I have no backup codes I can find.
This is fine, but I just can’t stop myself replying to the support guy with “but can you help” because he keeps replying “sure, I’d love to help, you can use any of [list of things I don’t have]” rather than going “nah, sorry mate, you’ve fucked it, it’s gone forever”.
@carnage4life @mdione hang on, did they not require code review before? Surely code review was required.
@SecurityWriter the window manager Niri is that if it was considered holistically alongside everything else rather than an afterthought made mostly to look nice.
@gsuberland impulse buying a ticket to go to 2012 on my own is probably one of the best decisions I ever made.
I’m specifically looking here for blog/news site shaped things I think to try and get out of the doom loop of opening news sites and getting angry.
People of the nice bit of the internet, what regularly published things (blogs, articles, videos, podcasts, whatever) are you consuming that are informative but not relentlessly bleak? I feel like all I ever see is people saying how terrible everything is, and while everything is terrible I need some joy in my life as well.
I have once again found myself feeling oppressively depressed only to realise the cause was listening to a Placebo album and I t could be fixed by pressing stop.
@gsuberland flexible shaft nut spinner is absolutely an insult in Australia.
@neil there need to be social media bans, I’m just not convinced it’s the 15-year-old girl who should be receiving them in this story.
@an0key for me, even before getting on some meds, knowing I have ADHD doesn’t necessarily make it easier but it does mean that I know what’s going on, which in turn means I’m gentler on myself when it causes problems. I spent most of my life being furious at myself that I couldn’t get my shit together, turns out there’s a reason for that.
I think I’ve fallen well truly down the Nix rabbit hole. I was reading a blog post earlier about enabling something on some other Linux distribution and spent the whole time thinking that it would have been a single config file on NixOS rather than editing half a dozen files and firing off a bunch of random executables while hoping nothing breaks halfway through.
I have spent so much money over the past week or so on buying things that aren’t quite right to fix my electrical problems. Some might say I should have done more research and planning, to which I reply SQUIRREL.
It looks like today is a three espresso day, thanks to some unexpected network engineering which touches on a whole section of the Linux network stack I don’t usually have to deal with.
@kunsi sadly I have lost my label printer so can’t label the box it’s buried in.
@jonathanhogg I feel like most people have one, maybe two, of those in them over a lifetime before the novelty wears off.
Who is the patron saint of email?

I’ve finally sorted out my heating in order to have a consistently warm flat so you can all thank me when summer comes early next week.
Companies running mailing lists, you’d have a way better chance of me not unsubscribing if you could resist emailing every single day just to remind me you exist.
I must know, was the Notepad RCE demonstrated by using it to launch Notepad?
