I deleted all the posts with my face in them

For privacy

Due to recent events(that we’d rather not speak of),

@lawrence-marc-strande , @ashe-bones , and myself will all leave our blogs. It was fun, but we’re not going to post again. Thanks for everything.

What’s popping?

No seriously- Okay, so I’m not back from my hiatus thingy, but I thought I’d give an update to tell you guys that I’m okay and my tummy is a lot better. 💚

I’m sorry!

I’m so sorry that I’ve been away from this blog. I’ve been busy with life stuff and only have sometimes to post. I’m also dealing with illness and pain in my body, so I haven’t been able to do too many physical things, unfortunately. Do not worry, though! I will be okay. I just need time to heal. Thank you for your patience. 💚💚💚

A (long) PSA about flash drives(and BitLocker)

If you use a flash drive and use a Windows/Microsoft computer, use BitLocker to lock your flash drive with a password. When you do so, your data is safe and only you can access it. The process takes a little while, but it’s worth it.

I did it on one of my flash drives, and it makes me feel more protected in case I accidentally drop my flash drive somewhere or someone jacks it from me.

Be sure to use a password that only you know, as if you don’t do so then others can get into your files with ease and steal/damage/corrupt/etc all that you have on your drive.

Here’s how you do it(steps -1, 0, and 0.5 probably only apply to me and maybe a couple other people, but I’m putting them here just in case):

Step -1: Be sure to decrypt your device first if you encrypted your files,,,,(Hello my name is Ruby and I’m not super good at technology,,,)

Step 0: Wait for your files to be decrypted,,,, Be Patient,,,

Edit: Step 0.5: Actually I guess if you save the key to your Microsoft account you won’t have to do this,,,

Step 1: Plug in your flash drive

Step 2: Right click on your flash drive’s name in the list of files on the left hand side.

Step 3: Click “Turn on BitLocker”(it might say someone different for you, but that’s what it says for mine)

Step 4: Set up a password

Step 5: Decide where you want your recovery key to go(I saved my second flash drive to my Microsoft account, but you can also print it and/or save it to a file)

Step 6: Choose to either encrypt the used disk space only(“faster and better for new PCs and drives”) or encrypt the entire drive(“slower but best for PCs and drives already in use”)

Step 7: Chose the encryption mode you want to use: new(“best for fixed drives on this device”) or compatible (“best for drives that can be moved from this device”)

Step 8: Click “Start encrypting” and wait for it to be done. Do not remove the drive until it says you can or else the encryption will not be completed.

Step 9: Follow any more instructions it gives you

Step 10: Your drive is now protected

TL;DR If you use a flash drive and a Windows/Microsoft computer, use BitLocker to protect your flash drive with a password and protect your files from being stolen.
