I'm in the process of (very slowly) migrating my household from Windows to Linux and am currently testing Nextcloud as a replacement for OneDrive. In my case, I set it up using pikapods.com because I want offsite storage. The server part of the setup was incredibly easy because the host did all the work.

Getting my Linux client setup was kind of a pain (especially compared to the Android and Windows clients), but everything seems to work ok so far. Of course, I'm only backing up a small amount of data so far, so I can't comment on the efficiency or speed for a major backup.

Same. I watched maybe half of the first episode and then left to go fold laundry and never finished the episode.

I use it to help me come up with better wording for things. A few examples:

  • Writing annual goals for my team. I had an outline of what I wanted my goals to be, but wanted to get well written detail about what it looks like to meet or exceed expectations on each goal and to create some variations based on a couple of different job types.

  • Brainstorming interview questions. I can use the job description and other information to come up with a starting list of questions and then challenge the LLM to describe how the question is useful. I rarely use the results as-is, but it helps me to think through my interview plan better than just using a list of generic questions.

  • Converting a stream of thought bullet list into a well written communication.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some exploits that have already been discovered that people have been sitting on in anticipation of support ending soon.

I had to type a bit to check, but found that I mostly use the right shift if the letter I'm capitalizing is on the left side of the keyboard. Oddly, it wasn't 100% though.

I was thinking about this one too. Not sure if I'll buy it, but it's the only one I'm considering at the moment.

I'm not Canadian, but I'm on lemmy.ca and like it very much.

I just tell Boone to catch up when he's done playing with the cazador and very casually run the other direction as fast as possible...for exercise.

I just saw yesterday that one of my favorite bands is playing nearby this summer with a 3PM start time!

Then I saw there are 6 bands in the lineup and they don't even tell me what order they are playing in. I don't want to watch 6 bands in a row, 2 or 3 is plenty, then let me go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Another vote for Freetaxusa. TurboTax might be marginally easier to use, but it is far more expensive and Intuit is a horrible company. If you hate filing taxes (because of the complexity), that is because Intuit and H&R Block lobby congress to keep things complicated so they can sell you their products.

I use a budget app for tracking income and spending on a transaction basis and then keep the rest of my finances in spreadsheets.
