Yeah when I’m driving a lot for work I could burn through that in 2 days…and not even be able to finish out the second day before I have to change to something else 😂

Another reason to make me glad I setup audiobookshelf.

Ahhhh ok. That does make more sense.

The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.

Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.

I saw something about them the other day and thought to myself there is no way this is real because they were offering something like 10tb for like 800 bucks. Lifetime sub. I guess they mostly count on people just not using anywhere near that much storage.

Makes sense. I would want it to back up my main machine somewhere though. I guess I would have to go cloud or finally bite the bullet on a NAS.

What’s the difference between syncthing and just setting up a NAS? basically just not having to buy the hardware and using the computer you already have?

Lol I got home from work and opened Lemmy.world. page loaded fine but I couldn’t upvote and the comments wouldn’t load. Tried again after restarting firefox and same thing. Switched to Lemdro.id and continued like it wasn’t happening.

Few books I listened to after the expanse in no particular order.

Freedoms Fire by Bobby Adair Based in a future where earth has been basically enslaved by an alien race and forced to fight in their war.

Mech Wars by Scott Bartlet Far future where humanity wormholes to another galaxy to start over but the new system is run by a big Corp that does big Corp things.

The Messenger series by J.N. Chaney and Terry Magert Kind of childish but I actually really enjoyed it. I will say there is a shit pile of books imo and they aren’t very long. Like 6-8hrs each if I remember correctly. But also far future dude gets his hands on a mech suit and goes traveling to get to to full strength as well as defeat enemies along the way.

Commonwealth Saga by Peter F Hamilton Humans basically have portal tech and can travel around using work holes. Been awhile since I listened and it didn admittedly take some strength to get into it at first but I really enjoyed the depth after I got used to it.

I’m pretty sure it’s possible to completely beat the game without killing a single NPC as well.

I don’t personally use it but pixelfed is an Instagram type of site. It’s part of the fediverse as well.
