Journal:

Clearly not the first thought I have ever had in my life, but that that would've been very funny. Ironic how I said I wouldn't use this collapsible stuff but dedicating a whole page to a one pragraph post seemed even more impractical to me, and if there's one thing I don't like it's a lack of practicality. Perhaps if a post gets long enough to warrant its own page I'll link to it here, but until then I shall take my time figuring out how to style this part to my liking. I quite enjoy doing that stuff, it feels fun and just the right amount of challenge for me.

Sometimes I just randomly remember how dumb cloud storage is, or rather, I am reminded of its existence every day because it is freaking everywhere. I just don't think it's very sensible to let some guy store your data (and you have to pay him if you want anything more than the meager amount he offers for free) on his hard drive when you could just, store said data on your own hard drive. I get the convenience of it all, but we have much much better ways that not only do the job, but you don't have to live in fear of it being leaked, hacked, or worse, used nefariously by the very guy you trusted your stuff with, who swore he would do no such thing.

I definitely do not want to be the kinda guy who complains about things but never offers anything helpful in return so I shall say: please invest in a good external hard drive. SSD might be faster, but it's probably HDD you want if you're looking for reliable long term storage. I personally have nothing big enough to store in an external hard drive because it is mostly work and school documents plus some camera photos and saves for games I've been playing for a long time, so I keep a couple spare SD cards and a USB which is a system that works well for me personally. My message is: physical media and being able to access your stuff without the need for an account or internet connection RULE and cloud storage SUCKS.

I really, really wanna eat chocolate cake right now, and not just any chocolate cake, it has to be the coffee and caramel flavour one I make. But here's the bummer, today I feel too ill to leave my bed much less make a whole cake. Granted, it's pretty easy to make, at least when you're in a healthy state of body, and so so moist and fluffy and delicious. Seriously, it feels like a cloud in your mouth, and the thick beautiful layer of homemade chocolate sauce on top? It takes it to a whole new level. Actually, I should post the recipe on here one day...
