If your going to post a meme or sums catchy thing intended to raise awareness or (justifiably) protest something, make sure its not something from years past.

It undermines your credibility and, even if you're factually accurate (i.e. the thing may still be happening), can appear as though you're misrepresenting the issue .

And... is you're asked a genuine question to clarify, respond with more than a "favorite" and radio silence.

Okay, is it bad that I want to do this?

Discipline and structure will guide you on your path through the rapid transition to that to which you have committed.

Today is my weekly review. I go over my journals for things I learned, things I accomplished, and things I could do better.

The resounding theme so far?

yeah, I have a pretty regular backup protocol, thankfully, but there's a few resets that I'm going to hvae to do this weekend that I'm a bit salty about.

I really don't want to have to go down the dark path of a commercial provider, and I definitely learned that doing this shit in nextcloud is hell (it doesn't pull the updated version from the cloud so steps get added and files can get clobbered)

Ahh well. it hasn't happened to my desktop version with syncthing, so I am inclined to blame keepassdroid, but it has such a nice cut/paste method that also zaps it after a time out. AuthDroid (?) doesn't seem to do that.
