  • Likewise when theres a company meeting which clearly and simply lays something out and people have questions.

    Example: “We are switching payroll providers, This in no way impacts you as all direct deposits have been migrated. You might see a new note on the deposits from the new payroll company.” A bunch of hands go up… Its always the same people

    How could you possibly have a question?!

    Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:

    “I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select ‘Run As Administrator…’ What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”

    “I got an error on the page! It says ‘Password incorrect’ What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”














  • Its one of those services where I don’t mind it since they use all that data to improve and personalize the experience. Its able to tell me exactly at a glance how long to get someplace because it knows where I am and where I live. It knows to recommend certain types of places based on where I’ve been, and it has an ENORMOUS userbase with tons of reviews for even the tiniest places. It will automatically update operating hours for stores etc by ‘robo-calling’ them and asking an employee greatly reducing the number of calls they take… on and on and on. Is it “creepy”? yeah maybe but honestly who cares.

    I even have timeline turned on. It remembers exactly when I went someplace. Like I was at a car dealership 6 months ago and needed to find a receipt they sent me in my email that I couldnt find otherwise… Check timeline to see when I was there and reference emails from that day, there it is.

    Also I weirdly consider the need that I might need to use it as an alibi someday.

    I’m completely de-googled otherwise. The places I go just honestly aren’t and never will be that interesting.





  • That really depends, are you looking for an actual filesystem or (for real) object level storage? Does the frontend have compatibility with s3-type endpoints?

    I would recommend a vpn like tailscale to encrypt traffic and not expose your local env to the internet

    Here are some self-hosted s3 compatible options: https://geekflare.com/self-hosted-s3/

    Although I think you might want to reconsider your architecture here. If you’re planning on self-hosting the storage for a frontend hosted on a VPS somewhere latency is probably going to make for a pretty bad experience.
