You know not to trust that site with any more information. Once the alias is deleted, anything sent to it will result in a delivery failure and you won’t get any more spam from anyone they sold that address to.

If your mail server supports aliases, you can make one for each site you sign up for. Then if you start getting a bunch of spam, you can delete the alias and you will know which site sold your information.

Some TLDs that are well known for spam get blocked. If you stick with a .com, you will usually be fine if you are using a decent mail server.

It probably just needs the drives to use a format with unix file permissions. I have a mix of ext4 and btrfs and Steam has never had issues with that.

If you want to tinker with it, stay away from that DJI crap and build your own. Then you can get more than a flight or two without something burning up.

Just use yt-dlp. It’s not hard to use. You just type yt-dlp, paste the video link, and press enter to download the highest quality version.

The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that’s supported by Piper.

That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.

That’s pretty impressive, but if they can’t figure out how to mass produce them cost effectively, then it’s pointless. Most of these battery breakthroughs never make it out of the lab.

For 3D modeling, you can get a 3D mouse such as the SpaceMouse.

Does your windows machine have WSL? I would just write a bash script that would DD the image to the drives. Keep in mind that you will be severely bandwidth limited by the USB interface, so it will take a long time. All of the ports on the controller share the same bandwidth. Ideally you would build a PC with lots of USB controller cards for that.

I will still use it for testing things, but I will no longer use it for installing the OS on a PC I’m going to use until they get the BLOB issue sorted out.

Does anyone still use it? I just use markdown if I want basic formatting, otherwise I use Libreoffice.

Even 7zip can compress a large text file to less than 25% of it’s original size. The installer is less than 2MB. There are even better compression algorithms for text than 7zip though.

Inkscape is good for making icons, assuming you want vector icons.

Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn’t been tampered with.

I’m surprised they didn’t put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.

Donate to FOSS developers if you find the software useful, but don’t give a cent to big tech companies.

It depends on the PC. If it’s a mini ITX board with an unused 16 lane PCIe slot, you can put an adapter in there with 4 NVMe drives. Make sure the motherboard supports PCIe bifurcation though.

Another option is an M.2 to SATA adapter. They will connect 4 to 6 drives to an M.2 slot. Finding a place to mount those drives could be tricky though.

The data is encrypted and can’t even be recovered unless you create a recovery key. Some people don’t want their browser phoning home and others just don’t want to store their data on someone else’s server.
