Thanks for replying.

What I am looking for is a way to storing my personal files at home. I am not looking for internet connected device that I can access remotely.

It will be mainly used to store my personal photos and videos, and not used to stream movies to a device.

Should be accessible by devices such as android, windows, and iOS.

Hope this helps.

Not to mention the reposts.

The number of old pics and videos that keep reposting is through the roof.

r/AskReddit has dropped in quality. It used to keep me busy and entertained for ages.

The only reason I use Reddit now are for old niche posts that answer specific questions. Other than that, I find my selfing going to lemmy first these days.

Lemmy has less content than Reddit, but isn’t quieter. You will surely get more personal user engagement here.

Welcome to lemmy.

I have seen a lot of people complaining that it’s difficult to join lemmy. Just a quick look through join lemmy and testing out a few accounts. It all does it easily.

I think what would help here if a short message or template can be created for average users to be able to post on other platforms. Something short and to the point.

That’s exactly me as well. Tried it, looked at random people’s cats and dogs. Not for me.

Can you tell me what happened when AI AstroTurf the subreddit?

Which subreddit is it? Would love to see how it looks like now.

Reddit really lives on old content. Loads of useful advice from real people, helpful recommendations, and questions and answers make Reddit still relevant.

It’s a different story for new content though. Videos and images have been reposted as hell, AskReddit now just revolves around asking the same set of questions, and a lot of niche communities have slowed down.

I know. But most of these engineers are on the job and on the road 99 percent of the time. And a quick WhatsApp message is all they want.

My only issue is having WhatsApp in my circle is a must.

Friends and families are more than happy to text or call. But the numerous contractors and engineers I work with and request their service, to them WhatsApp is a must to send photos of issues or videos of faults.

People who do not backup their laptops or phones, then come complaint to me when they are unable to to access and get a photo when the device dies.

Been archiving a lot of my favourite shows. I expect a lot of them to either disappear in ten years, or sit behind some subscription.

Came to mention this channel exactly.

Standing desk might be difficult.

How does the sitting ball help?

My job does not involve any movement at all. So 8 hours a day I’m just sitting down.

I try to incorporate an hour to the gym a day. Jogging and running is pretty hard and I cannot do more than 30 seconds. But I am trying.

2023 was a bad year for me. Countless respiratory infections really took a toll on me.

I stopped caring about my health and exercise 12 years ago. It was a mistake.

I’m now 40 and it’s hard to go back to it. I am trying but the body isn’t as it used to be.

That’s actually a great one.

This site used to be my go to for news and technology updates.

I consider it to be the front page of all front pages.

Never tried the fallback option.

DDG has been working fine for me. But I am inclined to use Google search in a separate container in Firefox.

I get my searched done 90% through DuckDuckGo.

Unfortunately for much more specific searches, Google still gets those results better than DDG.
