Watchout, many multi-vitamins are crap. CVS has turned to the dark side. Stuff like selenium that used to be in multi-vit, no longer are.

Its really hard to qualify supplements and vitamins as none of them will tell you ingredient sources, like China, or not.

When it comes to regular backups, remember Jesus Saves.

Yes, Jesus had many backup hard drives and wrote to them often.

Don’t have any fire starters? Vaseline on cotton balls stuck away in old medicine containers work great.

Side benefit: They also aid with butt secks.

Yup. Jesus labored with his hands for about twenty years.

"... too nerdy for even THIS nerd ..."

.

Let me see - I got my first professional software development job in 1984.
So that would be 39 years ago.

39 years makes me at GEEK - not a nerd. (Get it right, dude.)
(A semi-retired geek at that...)

Free advice:

OneNote for passwords. NOT the online version: Only the local HDD. You can treat a USB drive as the host and sync the USB to local installations on multiple devices running OneNote just by inserting the USB (automatic sync).

OneNote pages can be password protected (128-bit encryption). I’ve used it for logons/passwords for nearly 20 years. I have over 150 unique logons, including FR. I haven’t lost a password since I became habitual about updating my logons as they changed. I keep my parent USB file backed up and maintain awareness of its location like my keys & wallet. I also use it to keep account & card numbers.

Additionally, OneNote serves the web archiver in ways unlike any other program:

Try copying an entire web article and pasting it into a page: It automatically strips HTML, pastes nearly all photos (few exceptions, depending on web page formatting) and keeps hyperlinks...AND pastes the host page URL automatically at the footer of the pasted content. You can organize into sections as well. I’ve got >20 years - and nearly a gigabyte of data - of web archiving saved in my OneNote, including content from 9/11, and it seems immune to bloat performance (it NEVER crashes or runs slow). You can also paste PDF files directly into pages, as well as Office docs.

If you use Windows, the odds are that you already have OneNote. It’s a component of Office that most everyone ignores, but the last time I looked it was also available as a free standalone download.

Enjoy!

"Link please ?"

.

I'm assuming that you are asking for the link to the Ubuntu mini PC?

It's available from that company that begins with the letter 'A' that everyone seems to dislike
but everyone buys from anyway ...

If so, here ya go ...

.

Link to $89 'ATOPNUC' Ubuntu Linux Machine

(It's actually $89.99, so it's really $90.)

That 90-dollar computer has zero reviews and the company selling it on Amazon doesn’t have any presence there either.

The company has a single lifetime rating from “Roy”.

5 out of 5 stars
Needed a linux machine for side gig - this little guy did the trick - very easy to configure / boot / install new goodness on it. Dual monitor support was an unanticipated delight

I agree, Linux Mint is the way to go. One file holds all the email and can be saved to an external hard drive. For Thunderbird it is the .thunderbird folder. I save it weekly onto an external hard drive. Also, I can make a complete image save of the computer with CloneZilla once a month. That saves everything onto an external hard drive. With CloneZilla, I can take a bare SSD and write the complete system onto it and plug it into a computer and have a clone of my base system. It is easy to do.

Sorry you've had such an issue getting your new computer set up. I had an 11 year old MacBook Pro whose video card finally died. I took it to the repair shop to see if the hard drive was still good, and it was. I had him put it in a case, and I still have it, in case I need to take anything off of it. Why can't you remove the hard drive from the computer, and hook it up to the new one in order to transfer stuff?

I've always kept a separate little book, like an address book, but it's for websites and passwords. I have it just in case my kids ever need to get into my computer. I don't use Apple Cloud service, or anything, but if I want to back up anything, I put it on a 512 GB USB stick for safekeeping. Computers are like other devices we rely on. It can work fine the day before, then shit the bed the next day when you boot it up.

I don't use my iPhone for anything but making calls, and getting texts regarding prescription refills and confirming doctor appointments. It's not set up for banking, or email. There is no app other than Safari that I need to use. Never even used the camera. I hate the phone, and won't buy another smart phone if I don't have to.

Sound advice Laz. Thanks. My back up plan is my grandson. I swear the kid has micro chips in his brain. All the kids are computer experts.

The computer crashed once and the kid came over did click, click, “There you go Grandpa’’he explained something to my wife who’s better at this and haven’t had a problem since.

.

Several months and the thing has worked just fine - so far.
Since I have 'recommended' the thing, should any issues
arise with mine, I shall make my way back here to inform
y'all of them. Okay?
