    Attitudes aside, if @protonprivacy is going all-in on AI then I can no longer trust their security or reliability. It’s too bad. I’ve been a user for a decade and like their services. They’ve crept into a lot of my life. I can replace email and password management. I think I’ll roll my own file cloud. VPN will be the hardest to replace. https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/

    So I was thinking of Nextcloud or similar rolling my own to replace Proton Drive. But then I have to worry about backups, security, and updating. Right now in the early morning darkness I’m thinking that PAPER may be the revolutionary technology that my filing system needs. I already have the hardware; it can’t get hacked; no security patches…backup is still an issue but not insurmountable

    Happy “I didn’t know I owned so many clocks” week to all who celebrate. Much like Holy Week, each day has a theme. Today is Why Is There A Clock in the Bathroom Sunday.

    VW passed inspection today, but with the caveat that I’ll need to fix some rust by next year.

    Built a pair of Corsi-Rosenthal boxes to deal with the smoke. Pepper hates fans, but she loves them. I guess the filters have a nice gentle intake breeze. (No photos yet despite it being #caturday.)
