I got the email, also... And like you, I've not used reddit since the api BS. I've not logged in, commented or anything since just before sync stopped working.
I have to go back to the first game I was ever hooked on, and that was soldier of fortune II.
My buddies were all playing quake and unreal tournament... And I wanted something that was more modern and realistic. I picked up sof2 on a whim and played it a little bit. I was still fairly young and didn't understand online multi-player. It was this thought that it was very involved and clumsy, and could be a pain. One night I went to the multiplayer tab, which generated a list of servers. I double clicked on one and the game started to load. I remember being blown away! "Is that it?! Am I really loading in to play other real people?!"
I was instantly hooked. That whole experience was really something.
I know, it probably sounds lame to the younger people here... But growing up, the internet didn't exist... At least until I was about 8.
See... I'm the opposite... I change and hip around and reinstall across various machine so often, changing the setting has just become second nature... I don't even think about it anymore! Hahahaha
Shout out to Plaindealer. The move to remove the pay wall so EVERYONE can read this story online. That's a nice "Fuck you" to the thieves. Haha.
I do this for expansion. I can expand the pool three drives at a time instead of 6. But, I set it up knowing the risk with a single parity drive...and I've acounted for that with backups. 👍
I'm sure Trump just wanted to talk... And... If I'm the prosecution I'd probably be OK with it, banking on this exact outcome. Haha
