Full drive restore to a specific date

Hello! I was looking into Filen for a cloud storage replacement, and it looks really interesting!

I see that it's possible to restore individual file versions. But is there any way (or is it planned) to restore the full drive to a specific date within a specific time frame?

If something very bad happens, I can see how hard it would be to restore a batch of files, or even the full drive.

Is a custom domain worth it for personal email?

Hi! I recently started migrating from Gmail to Proton, and it has been nice so far!

The main point of moving from Gmail was because I was worried that practically everything I use daily was depending on Google somehow, which brings me to my main point.

I see that it may be better to have a custom domain and use it on Proton instead of relying on proton.me. If I'm unhappy for some reason, or would like to change to another service, I wouldn't have to deal with changing hundreds of logins to my new email provider.

The thing is that I'm a bit worried about adding extra things "that could break" to my personal email, since now I will have to handle DNS and a custom domain, and I'm not feeling that confident about using that for important emails.

Is this something that I may be overthinking a lot? What is your opinion on using a custom domain for emails? Is there anything I can do to be sure that my email is receiving correctly, with some kind of daily check? Or a service that could provide these kinds of checks?

Como me resguardar na compra de um produto usado de outro estado?

Talvez a resposta mais simples seja "não faça", mas queria saber se alguém tem alguma sugestão de como se proteger minimamente e reduzir o risco de cair em um golpe.

Quero comprar um produto usado de cerca de R$ 5 mil de um vendedor de outro estado. Ele anunciou o item em uma plataforma de vendas, mas disse que só vende com entrega em mãos. O problema é que o produto já saiu de linha, então praticamente só existe no mercado de usados, e não estou encontrando outra alternativa.

Sei que em alguns países existem empresas que fazem esse tipo de intermediação: você paga a empresa, ela verifica o produto com o vendedor, faz o pagamento e depois envia o item para você. Procurei algo parecido no Brasil, mas não encontrei.

Pensei que o mínimo seria fazer um contrato com os dados das duas partes. Sei que isso não impede um golpe, mas imagino que pelo menos formalize a negociação e facilite uma eventual ação judicial, caso seja necessário.

Alguém já passou por uma situação parecida ou tem alguma sugestão de como tornar esse tipo de compra mais segura?

Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Left Brake Pedal Making Friction Noise

I recently bought a Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder and noticed that the left brake pedal makes a friction/scraping noise when pressed. The right side feels smooth and quiet, so the difference is pretty noticeable.

I don’t feel any difference in braking force or resistance between the two sides, it’s only the noise that concerns me.

Is this something normal that may go away after some use or adjustment, or is it better to return/RMA the unit while I still can?
