Replying to Avatar Dr. Hax

Hey everyone. My desktop just blew up last night (likely CPU or motherboard).

I'm not asking for donations, but if you'd be willing to spread the word about the open source hardware password managers that I build and sell, it'd really help me out.

I am an independent open source software/hardware maintainer and my dream is to be able to earn enough doing that to pay for my food and shelter.

I sell the hardware at just above cost to fund experimenting with new designs (and now, apparently, to save up for desktop computer repairs).

I'm committed to open source hardware/firmware/software and long term support!

Will do. Sorry to hear it bro. I was looking forward to a relaxing night last night and ended up having to pull and reset all of my cards/modules from my MB and do an image restore back to March 2023. Took me three hours just to be able to get my rescue media to be recognized. A good reminder of why I don’t make my PC part of my Bitcoin custody setup.

Rough. I am not great at taking regular backups, but I just happened to have done one within the last week.

I've mostly been storing things on my Nextcloud server lately and just mirroring them locally, so backups are less important, but they sure make me feel better to have them.

And the servers have redundant storage AND are backed up regularly to an offline disk.

Macrium Reflect free version and an external 3TB are a Godsend.
