How can I share/store sensitive data for family

What is the wooden lemon for?
Against every developer's advice, management has moved our entire stack to Microsoft Dynamics 365. It took over a year of prep, millions in ISV consulting charges, and it performs like trash. Now management is constantly complaining about outages, Microsoft nickles and dimes us for tens of thousands more than the estimates, and they are constantly jerking us around to half-baked tech by removing support for anything that actually works. "Want data out of F&O? We're killing everything except Synapse Link. You spent months migrating yet it drops data? That's not surprising since we fired everyone working on it. You should be on Fabric! No, that's not finished either, but we need to test it on someone!"
I'm very bitter.
With a ring light and phone setup? That man is live streaming his feet.
Wow, you did a good job. I would have assumed those spots were all natural.
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this I'd have enough nickles to fund a studio and make HL3 myself.
Yellowstone. With shows like The Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy you know the characters are evil, but you can connect just enough for it to be compelling.
In Yellowstone it feels like they want you to see the characters as the heros, when they are mass-murdering, slave-owning oligarchs. They buy cops and politicians to gain power, but get bent on revenge if other powers don't "play by the rules". I didn't last too long, but everyone else seems to love it.
I was hoping for something more like this:

Loaded mini-dogs
(midwest.social)
Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.
Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.
Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.
I disagree that it's about the graphics (in this specific case). That scene has a scare that, when looked at by itself, is not scary at all. However, the setup is so perfect that it had people screaming when they first watched it. I was definitely the target audience at the time, maybe 11 or 12 years old, but it was incredibly powerful. I still get goosebumps when I see it, even though the graphics are bad. It wasn't a jump scare; they flat-out said what was about to happen in more ways than one. But there was something so pure and fulfilling about them actually following through with exactly what you expected that it transcended being a simple scare.
Anyway, if you watched it as a kid there's a decent chance that scene permanently lives in your head. I believe that's what the poster is referencing.
I was just thinking this should be a "First time?" meme instead. It feels like there's always one instance down.
But it's nice that Lemmy as a whole is never down, just individual pieces.

French Cleat Floating Desk
(midwest.social)
cross-posted from: https://midwest.social/post/9219144
My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.
Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.
As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.
I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.
He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.

So she was swimming for roughly 18 hours? I'm impressed and terrified.
