    You can do a pretty decent job with a ziplock and a water bath until you can afford one.

    Put the food in the ziplock and submerge it in a tank of water up to the top of the bag while its still open. Then seal the bag while the lower part is held under water. Helpful to have an extra set of hands if you have someone available to seal while you hold the lower part under water.

    Obviously not as good, but it does help.

    ZFS is fantastic and it can indeed restore files that have been encrypted as long as you have an earlier snapshot.

    However, it would not have helped in this scenario. In fact, it might have actually made recovery efforts much more difficult.

    It could have helped by automatically sending incremental snapshots to a secondary drive, which you could then have restored the original drive from. However, this would have required the foresight to set that up in the first place. This process also would not have been quick; you would need to copy all of the data back just like any other complete drive restoration.







  • They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That’s why they keep making the interface worse.

    It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

    It’s also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

    The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.










  • I mean… Yea. Yea it is. They want to:

    1. Fill the thing with ads
    2. Control the entire user experience
    3. Track everything you do in that experience
    4. Prevent users from accessing any low level system changes
    5. Fill the thing with ads

    They’re not even being subtle about it:

    “The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
