Are Western Digital drives trustworthy these days. If I want to buy a pretty big non-flash hard drive for "backup and throw in a drawer" purposes, is this a good choice

Finished my mail-in ballot for the #Munich city council election. 1 vote for the next mayor. 31 votes for the local council, 80 votes for the city council. In total around 2 square meter of paper. Uffa. Democracy is work. Especially for the brave citizens that will count the votes. You have my biggest respect!

To avoid the direct mention panic, we have a specific tab called conversations where your private messages show and you cannot even accidentally publicly toot that private message.
Phew!

We are trying to build a social web. A new web. #mastodon #tootwales #tootcymru
What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.

"Ich unterrichte keine Marke, sondern ich unterrichte Kompetenzen. Textverarbeitung, Textstrukturierung oder Tabellenkalkulation können mit #LibreOffice genauso vermittelt werden wie mit #Microsoft Office." - Lehrerin Johanna Müller
Genau so geht #digitaleSouveranität und selbstbestimmte Techniknutzung! Keine überteuren Lizenzen, keine Schaffung von (Pfad)abhängigkeiten bereits im Kindesalter, keine Produktwerbung, für die auch noch gezahlt wird. Stattdessen nebenbei kritisches Denken fördern, während vordergründig Bürosoftware gelernt wird.

So my PiKVM has issues and gets no video from my Proxmox host
I bought a JetKVM and it works flawlessly and was so easy to setup
I'll debug the PiKVM at somepoint (it's also via a HDMI & USB KVM switch as it's a DIY setup with their instructions but it allows control of 4 systems (when working)
For now, JetKVM it is as I only need it for 1 machine

I had a rough week. Send cats please
Does anybody know what web sites I could go to to find some sloppy hot takes about current events? Because Mastodon and the entire concept of the fediverse is magically impervious to those on principle, I'm going through a lot of withdrawal today. It's like a desert out here!
