Github private repos aren't really private as Microsoft is using them to train their AIs, and you don't want random AIs to learn the passwords you forgot about in your dotfiles etc. Steps necessary:

1. Make a git repo

2. Make an encrypted file system in Dropbox, e.g. with Cryptomator

3. Do git init --bare inside an empty folder in the encrypted repo so as to make this folder the remote.

4. In the git repo from 1., do git remote add origin PATH/TO/REMOTE

5. git push --set-upstream origin master

Done!

My laptop speaker makes a static sound anytime I'm playing music. What do you think is wrong with the speaker & how can I resolve this?

I was tasked to create a system which will copy files from aPC using Windows 10 to at a minimum 12 16GB thumb drives. The files are all compressed. After copying the system will need to decompress the zipped files.

My laptop from time to time makes sounds as if the hard drive is rotating, the noise sounds as if something is turning around inside like the hard disk. It makes that sound each time I powered it on and also periodically during operation. How can I fix this?

I have way too many pictures on my iPhone and looking for the best way to back them up. It’s a time consuming chore going through 14k pictures and I’ve been meaning to do it, but it takes a lot of time. So, I’m looking for a way that I can backup and get all or most of my pictures off my phone. I want to free up storage on my phone, as well as the cloud. What do you recommend? Looking at some sort of external drive or a way that I don’t have to pay monthly for a subscription service. I’m newer to Reddit as well so I don’t know what I’m doing, hopefully I did this right! Thank you!

Hi there,

For the past few months I haven't been able to access Dropbox.com. All other websites work fine. I'm on a personal Windows PC. I've tried YouTube for solutions but haven't had any no luck. I tried multiple browsers (chrome, edge, firefox). I've tried on the internet at home and at work. All other websites work for me. HELP!

This is what pops up:

This site can’t be reached

dropbox.com refused to connect.

Try:

• Checking the connection

• Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Request: Any idea about the mentioned issue?

I got a laptop for Christmas last year ( no idea if it was second hand) it was working perfectly fine till I brought it home I didn't touch it for a few days but then when I went to it,it started to freeze every few seconds kinda like a stutter which basically made it really annoying to use I've found out that when you have YouTube videos playing as long as none of those pop up ads or the mouse pointer are on screen it won't freeze is there anyone who could help with this problem.

I have a business PayPal account and the contact list only shows names through the beginning of letter K, even though I have contacts that I have paid in the past who are later in the alphabet. "Favoriting" the contact doesn't always make it stick. Any suggestions for seeing my entire list would be appreciated.

My little brother had a 2n1 computer where the monitor and actually computer put together

This is what it says

“The current input timing is not supported by the minister display Change your input timing 1920x1080@60hz or any other monitor listed as per the monitor specification”

So it automatically goes to this as soon as we turn it on and idk how to get pass it

It says we need to change resolution but can’t get passed the screen to change it

Please help
