😀 Tom Someone had a nice camera at an event I was running. After the event, I asked if they had any pictures I could share. They sent me some mediocre pictures. Just a reminder that a camera does not make a photographer.

💻 Kernel I had an amazing hike this afternoon. Reminder to self: get out of the damn house more often and live!

🦝 Wojciech I keep my important data on my personal NextCloud, which is on a RAID1 (with an SSD cache), and then every week a backup is made using borgbackup, stored on a server at my university, which also has RAID1. The backup is encrypted so I don't worry about other people accessing it.
🗨️ Fui Well, thanks for the reminder! I'm another borg backup user, using it behind its Vorta gui. I backup weekly or so to an external HDD. So yours was a good reminder to get on with that.

💩 Niklas What's your setup for personal backups? I've just started using restic on an old HDD I found, still looking for a good (cheap) SSD to buy. I think I should use at least two hard drives for backups, maybe even do some fancy RAID... By the way, this post serves as a REMINDER TO DO YOUR BACKUPS!

Miso I realize I don't do much backups! Most of my work or files are in some shape or form on the cloud already. Which is scary now that I think about it.
💻 Kernel I have two 2TB harddrives both with 2 partitions. One partition is for various media and the other is a shared software RAID 0 across the two drives.
🤔 David I'm bad. I have ~10 TB of data to backup just from my desktop...I really need to setup a schedule for backing up certain things.
🚴 Aditya I use duplicity to keep important things in sync to another drive.
👨🏻‍💻 Moroni Oh, funny you asked that. One of my backup HDs is failing and I was stupid enough to not have that data in a second backup. I went to a data recovery lab and got an estimate of $400 to recover it. :(
🥝 Mr I've used them all: hard drive, raids, NAS, cloud. Pro's and con's. They all kinda suck. My favorite "backup" system so far is still icloud for the iphone. You can literally buy a new phone, log in to your account and it replicates everything over perfectly. I kinda wish PC had something like that...

Ganesh Khade What do you use for task management, personal and professional? How do you go about it? Would you walk me through the process?
☝️ Jean-David Moisan I use a mix of a couple things. Discord, GitHub Issues / Projects, Google Calendar, Joplin. Discord is nice to organize tasks with other people. GitHub Issues allow you to write detailed notes about a problem. GitHub Projects gives you a Kanban board. Google Calendar lets you setup daily reminders and mark incoming events. Joplin lets you take raw notes and organize your thoughts.

Prince do you think god meant for you to know this only now?
Rsm No, but it's an oft-needed reminder. At least, I need to be reminded daily of this truth.

Aleve That was so well said.
🦿 Lucian Marin I forgot about saying such thing. Thanks for the reminder. I didn't follow my own advice lately.

Martijn And forgot to post about it on your own blog
👽 Paul Webb Good grief! I've come down with a nasty cold so there goes my brain. Thanks for the reminder, haha!

Bugabinga When have you last expressed your thanks to some open source maintainer? I see a lot of demands, disappointment and entitlement on issue trackers. It is a pity that expressions of gratitude are not tracked the same way. My suggestion; hack yourself into giving something back. Automatic donations, recurring reminders or email templates. The key is to automate the deed, even if only partly, so doing The Right Thing becomes easy.

🤔 John I was reminded of the Chuck E. Cheese story when it popped up again as an NPR "How I Built This" podcast. CEC was ubiquitious growing up in the 90's, but I never thought about it as a technology startup. Really worth a listen. For me, it's a good reminder that tech companies can do more than apps and websites. npr.org/podcasts/5... theatlantic.com/te...

Mark Dain The biggest improvement as of late is email notifications. Should hopefully keep you coming back more than bi-annually :) Also, private messages.
Chris Gower Oh woo! I have noticed the email notifications, its a good reminder to come back and check replies. :)

Martijn Emoji reminder, you are probably using wrong. That's not "sad", it is "worried". What you want is the opposite of "smiling", which is "frowning", and is one of these four: .

Mark Dain One of the many things I want to do in October is horseback riding. There's a weight limit of 260 lbs for this which isn't far off my weight. I don't want to do any crazy diets as they don't seem sustainable. What could be better is gradually moving to a healthier lifestyle, starting with reducing intake of sugar. As for exercise, I can't stand doing it but I love cycling. A lot of vendors sell fitness trackers which could be invaluable for knowing calories burned and so on. These include Apple Watch, Fitbit and Microsoft Band. Are any of these worth it?
Martijn I have seen a lot of mixed reactions to how tell they will actually track anything of importance. However, they can work as a reminder to move. You could even just start with a more standard pedometer and set a daily step goal for yourself.

🏴‍☠️ Serge Keller This is from some years ago, but it is still a much needed reminder about the necessity of "slow news" in the light of today's despicable attacks: "the closer the information is in time to the actual event, the more I assume it's unreliable if not false" - Toward a Slow-News Movement mediactive.com/200... /by Dan Gillmor

Martijn I don't think I would ever want to go back to slow news. But my stream of posts today probably gave that away already.
Eric I love instant & fast news, but I'll always get my fill of "slow" news from the morning paper the next day. Though this might be different now The Independent is out of print.

Mark Dain You just post a link, right? There's no support for photo albums ... Yet?
🦿 Lucian Marin It's just a public reminder based on 's idea: . I really should investigate the possibility. Photos won't appear on home feed, but inside an album -- your album. I just want high quality stuff here, not the every day Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram garbage images. It will probably will be a paid feature or enabled only for photographers. I can make an Instagram clone, but I don't think it will last too much. Anyway, it's hard to maintain two sites at once and I don't want to give up on Sublevel. All I want is the possibility to post my best photographs in a cool place.

🦿 Lucian Marin -- check if it's possible to add photo albums to Sublevel.
