Info for new users: if possible, please add a quick description to the images you're posting, it helps our friends who user some #Accessibility tools like screenreaders! Most apps have support for it, the webview definitely does, and it doesn't need to be too much info.
Looks like I'll be switching over to Syncthing/Nextcloud sooner than I thought:
Use Dropbox on Linux? If you use any filesystem than unencrypted ext4, they're dropping support for your system in November: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Syncing-and-uploads/Linux-Dropbox-client-warn-me-that-it-ll-stop-syncing-in-Nov-why/m-p/290065/highlight/true#M42255

Feynman technique - a simple and powerful way to rapidly learn and retain new concepts.
1. Write down the name of concept you're trying to learn.
2. Explain it in plain English, as if you were teaching it to a new student.
3. Identify things you couldn't explain well, re-read the source material and research them. Try explaining again until these knowledge gaps are gone.
4. Simplify your explanation, get rid of technical terms and use simple analogies. ELI5.

With the death of CrashPlan, we had to move our backups elsewhere. Ended up using restic, rclone, Google Cloud Storage, and others to get it done, and it's working great so far.
Wrote up the process as a (work-in-progress) blog post here, if there's any interest:

Fun fact, Google has a 12 month, $300 credit for their cloud services, so depending on your storage needs, you can get free backups for a year.

Upgraded our phones and forgot how horrible mobile browsing is without proper ad blocking. Immediate priority is figuring out how to root a Moto X4 and getting my phone back.
So I was wondering about the use of ‘hermanos’ for ‘siblings’, and it looks like latin languages don't have an equivalent.
And then I wondered why the english word didn't resemble the german word [that I know] - ‘geschwister’.
And then it turned out that ‘siblings’ is that rareſt of rarities: An english word that's actually english:

@ColinTheMathmo I'll admit, kind of envious that mathstodon has inline latex support 👌
