Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?English
6·28 days agoMy Gmail account has the Inactive Account Manager thing turned on so if I don’t use my account for 6 months it’ll email my wife my Bitwarden master password and instructions to get my self-host nerd into it where he can then do whatever he wants with it.
I set that as my status in Teams along with a little message “Please don’t just say hi. I might not see your follow up” and checked the box to make it show on chats. It’s definitely helped. Also got someone to complain that I was ignoring them, but they just said “hi” and nothing else so my boss sided with me that they were wasting my time without actually asking a question.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Baba Yetu, the grammy-winning theme song to the video game Civilization IV, is The Lord's Prayer in Swahili.English
1·2 months agoYeah I would, but this song literally never plays anywhere so I’ve been safe so far.

12·2 months agoI’ve been using this song as my phone alarm for the past 20 years because of its stepped increase in intensity at the beginning. Usually I wake up before the shakers come on. I know I was in a deep sleep if the first “Baba Yetu” hits.
You try the freezer trick? If not, put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours. The cold can make some things work a bit better and maybe for long enough to recover what you need. Doesn’t always work but it’s cheaper than professional data recovery.
New guy at work’s legal name is Emilejustin, and goes by Justin. Effectively the Emile is silent.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Reccommending a Linux distro for a friendEnglish
5·2 months agoEchoing what others have said, a “gaming distro” really isn’t necessary. I have used Ubuntu for years on and off. When I switched my gaming PC to Linux earlier this year I went with Kubuntu, because it’s just Ubuntu and I like KDE Plasma better than Gnome. I do feel like Ubuntu is one of the easiest to find support for when you’re looking online.

Oh yeah. Except this guy. This guy was great.
