For backup.

So all of my hard drives and devices are in the same house, if I was sleeping and and house caught on fire and I couldn’t even get my phone in time (just a worst case example), then I lose all my passwords.

Cloud is my “offsite backup”. Cuz where else would I put stuff?

Also: I though you could just safely upload encrypted files to Google Drive, why not a password database? It’s just another encrypted file.

They disassemble it then make a meal out of the parts…

(cuz 豆腐渣工程 Tofu Dreg 🤭)

Keepass, upload the database file to random free cloud accounts after making changes to the database.

This is foulproof as long as the end-user device doesn’t get hacked, right?

Edit: Did I say something wrong? Why downvotes? Database file are encrypted, even if someone gets it, its encrypted and they don’t have your password.

So its basically safe to upload your database. If you think I’m wrong then explain why I can’t use free cloud accounts to store an encrypted file?

Remember the murder you committed yesterday?

What you don’t remember?

It’s literally in your phone, you recorded yourself committing the murder yesterday and you blacked out.

Here: look at this totally-not-deepfaked-video-that-the-government-just-manufactured-to-gaslight-you

Dont worry, it already automatically synced to the cloud.

“吞拿魚”

[transliteration of “tuna”] + [“fish”]

The ironic thing is my views are anti-CCP… so I’m gonna end up in a situation where both the governments of PRC and USA declares me an enemy…

🙃

Heyyy I see my city name on the cat’s food container

I think many Chinese people are also bilingual

Yes… some are even tri-lingual because of village dialect (eg: Taishanese) + province dialect (eg: Cantonese) + national dialect (Mandarin)

Unfortunately, the PRC government is heavily pushing Mandarin and some of the local variants (aka: “dialects”) are slowly dying… some kids in Guangzhou don’t even speak Cantonese anymore…

(i.e. Wu+ always mandarin)

Shanghaiese is semi-dead… from what I heard

Cantonese is slowly limping its way forward only because they have Hong Kong TV, I don’t think there are many TV shows in Shanghaiese.

If Hong Kong falls… Cantonese is gonna die… :(

Parents also never spoke Taishanese to me… so yea I unfortunately cannot pass on that language… no Taishanese media… hard to find motivation to learn more about it.

So I only have Cantonese and Mandarin…

I doubt my kids (if I ever have any) would be able to learn it… most 2nd generation overseas Chinese kinda just English-Only with bare minimum in ancestor’s language.

English as 4th (Spoken) Language Speaker here…

Before English I have:

Cantonese
Mandarin
Taishanese (well… for Taishanese, I mostly only understand but not speak because parents never spoke it to us, only when talking to the older generations and I overhear it)

Sorry for the low-key brag but since nobody here speak these languages so I just wanna mention it xD

Reminds me of how TV shows / movies just depict characters from a non-English country speak their native language for like 2 seconds before switching back to… English… for the rest of the conversation…

like… huh?

oh yea cuz its fiction and they don’t want the audience having to read subtitles all the time…

Like who does that?

I came to the US at age 8 and still have to use my native language at home… like it feel really weird to be using English at home…

Honestly with all these Drone = CCP rhetoric in the news… I’m kinda scared to fly drones nowadays especially under this admin since… well I’m ethnic Chinese and I was born in China so I have this paranoid of being falsely accused of being a “CCP Spy” or some bullshit like that… idk if I’d feel safe flying drones anymore… not since january 2025 … not in the forseeable future…

so um… pls white dudes that were born here… use your privilage to your advantage, I’m counting on y’all

You know… be the SovCit that we need in these trying times… law is just a piece of paper… let y’all drones fly free

I’m Chinese American… funny that I can read anti-trump news articles right here in the US even as of this current admin’s autocratization but can’t find one article on baidu that criticizes Xi…

hmmm…

消滅中共，建新中華！
Death to CCP. Build a new democratic China.

Don’t forget your Chairman Trump’s little thin-blue-line books, patriot! You don’t wanna know what happens when the Little 'Murican Guards get you.

The one I have have like two mesh thing on the two sides where you’d normally put water bottles on a normal backpack… isn’t that enough airflow?

But anyways my car just slept through the entire drive, I took my cat out in the park, freaked out and didn’t even wanna move and hid under a table…

so yeah I just grabbed her put back in the carrier/backpack and took her back home

eh… I kinda want a cat that acts like a dog ngl xD too bad 🤷‍♂️

My cat literally just rolls on the floor and bit the leash part when I tried to take her outside in a harness xD

I tried this with my cat, she just freaks out and opens her mouth wide open as if she’s suffocating…

yeah… no I’m not gonna do that “bring the cat to the park” thing anymore

Lolol, this was so 6d that it took my depressed brain a whole minute to interpret the meaning

Because I also never heard it before.

Wait till your phone start generating fake photos of your past to gaslight you

Hell, any digital journals you keep could be a fake one replaced by AI

Careful, 'Murica is gonna invade your grandma to bring democracy to her organs.

Eh, it’s a different place now. My family who worked there in the 90s and 2000s had completely alien experiences to when I went there in last year. All I’m saying is it’d be wise to be aware of what options you have.

Mental health acceptance is stilk a huge issue. My mom told me about a story where allegedly someone in either her village or a neighboring village (can’t even understand what exactly she said because I’m not as fluent in Cantonese as English) had a family that has a son that “doesn’t act normal” and instead of trying to help, they perceived him as a threat and just locked him inside the house, barely treated him like a human being and only fed him out of pity… like an animal on a barn…

And also my mom just told me a story on WeChat about in Guangdong, an autistic person that got accepted into a University but then they found out about his autism so they expelled him for that after he already got accepted. So yeah… that would’ve caused outrage in the west. There is not really an ADA equivalent in China.

My mother kinda lowkey hates me for having depression… can’t imagine what’s its like in China, everyone would just call me “lazy” or “useless eater” or some shit… China is very conservative, its MAGAland but with Chinese Characteristics.

Also, if I posted any of my posts that I posted here about my mother’s behaviors on the Chinese internet… oh jeez they’re gonna just attack me for being “unfilial”, at least westerners sort of sympathize. In China, parents are always right, the kids are always wrong.

My ideal country would be one with a lot of Asians (or more specifically, ethnic Han Chinese) but that are westernized. Cuz then I have safety of not having to deal with racism, but also not having to deal with conservative culture bullshit.

Like just build one massive island then gather all the Westernized ethnic Han Chinese there, build our own country, without authoritarian bullshit, then I’d be safe.
