I might be crazy but I have a 20TB WD Red Pro in a padded, water proof, locking, case that I take a full backup on and then drive it over to a family members 30m away once a month or so.

It’s a full encrypted backup of all my important stuff in a relatively different geographic location.

All of my VM data backs up hourly to my NAS as well. Which then gets backed up onto the large drive monthly.

Monthly granularity isn’t that good to be fair but it’s better than nothing. I should probably back up the more important rapidly changing stuff online daily.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

Yes.

I’m sure one can reasonably infer that I do not mean 30 meters.

Conveniently at highway speeds 30 minutes and 30 miles away are essentially equal.

I’ll try and use appropriate notation next time

I think their point is where is the line and why is the line where it is?

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

Sure, but you find out about things hours days or even weeks after they happen.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

Just another form of victim blaming essentially.

There’s no logic to it but it feels good for people like them to write.

Why are you so surprised that people are using Reddit and talk about Reddit on the literally /c/reddit

Imagine going to /c/StarTrek and telling people to stop watching Star Trek as they talk about it.

GTFO with that crap.

Microsoft released Garnet last week. Which is meant to be a drop in replacement with 10x the performance, written entirely in C# (incredibly accessable vs C++).

MIT licence, like most of the rest of their tools/libs/frameworks.

Nice part here is that they dog food it, since it’s used at scale. So problems tend to get patched quickly by paid devs, while the FOSS community gets to bake in the features they want.

Often the flour that they’re using is bromated flour so you don’t get away from it even when fresh baked.

Bromated flower is banned in Canada, the UK, the EU, Brazil and China… But not the U.S.

So yes the bread you get in the United States is specially chemically because of this.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

It’s probably still made with bromated flour though…

Don’t forget the actual cost of manufacturing. The building, the workers, the people working behind the scenes on finance or logistics, or manufacturing details…etc

Manufacturing takes a lot of people on a lot of different levels not only to get it up and running but to keep it running and that’s expensive.

Future Motion?

You’ll notice that there is actually an insane number of companies that create the need for this.

Too bad this doesn’t affect them because they managed to get themselves an exception to the rule…

Anything powered by a combustion engine is an exception.

This thread is literally the difference between someone who knows what they talk about getting downvoted because people don’t like facts and someone who doesn’t know they talk about getting upvoted because they appeal better to emotions.

Social media has ruined us.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

Spell it out for me?

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

This is not a healthy outlook on the world.

Population generalization is extremely toxic. Yeah, lots are corrupt, but “Everyone that has job x” is patentably false, and is simply an emotional reaction and lashing out.

It does nothing to solve any problems and just produces new ones. No progress is made that way, it’s the opposite of progress towards solving a problem. Are you here to just emotionally vent or are you here to actually hold a conversation?

We don’t need more people acting like petulant adults who are entirely emotionally driven. We need more people who are willing to look at problems and figure out how we can organize to solve them.

The way it works right now on my phone is you tap it to turn it on and off and then you long hold to open the setting.

I’m going to be peeved if that goes away in favor of OPs process…

Morals to talking about penalties for your retirement accounts…

Which can be significant

I think you’re under complicating it. For starters our solar system has not existed since the Big bang…

The Moon is also not getting slingshot out of orbit. It will eventually attain a tidally locked orbit.

I see the lack of critical thinking apple doesn’t fall far from the Reddit tree.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

Maybe in a few years.

Right now we’re talking 0.0057% of the monthly active users. Lemmy likes to hype itself up a lot, but the market share is incredibly tiny, and likely will be for years to come. As a platform Lemmy would be incapable of handling that kind of scale, from both a software, design, hosting, logistics, cost, moderation, and community perspective.

I’ll be here, but let’s check in each year on it. I’m guessing it will be a few before we either see accelerating growth, or Lemmy is upset by better designed federated social media software, or it’ll just be fragmented between dozens of competing platforms.

A good example that average reading comprehension is terrible.

douglasg14b, 2 months ago

what do you think

I think you’re identified their problem!

douglasg14b, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

I’m not entirely sure what Kool-Aid you were implying they’re drinking…?

“Apple makes apple products in the apple ecosystem. Non-apple ecosystem fails to entice apple users over”

That’s essentially what you quoted. What part of that is controversial? It’s practically just a dry statement of fact.

Apple’s anti-competitive practices ensuring that it’s successful within his own ecosystem isn’t a controversial part of that. We know that’s what they do.

Or maybe I’m just missing something here.

Bro just stop you’re being a dick to someone who doesn’t understand a comic.

This community doesn’t need this sort of toxicity

Or have any sort of blue light filter (display has a more red tint to it) which is why they look so similar.

Either way it’s a bad idea to use colors of this sort for data display
