Just raid the medicine cabinet for seasoning. Don’t follow a recipe, go with vibes. Try that jar of cough syrup, a little rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer should help with mouth feel, what was that pack of pills that you just knocked in? Oh well, just a happy little accident.

Is anyone actually surprised at that?

Well no one died the first 3 times

Yeah, the idea is that you should have another copy that is disconnected from the main one, if you have that then you do have a backup.

So glad that I don’t have much important data, a very simple bash script backs up stuff that kinda matters (do I need that 8 year old minecraft save?) and it totals about 30GB currently.

The actually important bit is a 57kB Keepass database. Plus 50MB of compressed/encrypted data of questionable importance - literally never decrypted them other than to test it was readable, but I have been told these documents are “important” so whatever. They are there and the originals burned because I don’t want to keep a shitload of paperwork around that looks worthless to me. Got a small folder for stuff that probably should be kept like birth certificates, when that folder gets full I sort and the least important stuff is recorded digitally and physical copies destroyed.

Doesn’t it depend if the teleporter open a up a wormhole or used replication?

I do

Or, maximum range.

When documentation is missing critical bits of information I don’t know if its better than nothing. Spend ages and then have to raise a ticket saying its a bug because its not working as documented, when no documentation would have just been an instant ticket raised asking how its supposed to work. Because it turns out everything was working correctly and the customer had just set something up wrong but there was no documentation covering that bit so according to what we had, all looked good.

Podcasts have managed on platforms that don’t even report viewer counts. Apparently they didn’t like it when it was updated so that they did.

An obvious option though is discount codes or affiliate links.

View numbers. They don’t care where people are viewing it. Which is why you can then distribute it to as many platforms as you like.

I will self host content that I pirate from youtube

Sponsorships seem to be getting increasingly common and IIRC are way more profitable than youtube ads. Also typically less annoying to the end user? Not sure, I sponsorblock them. At the very least you can choose where they go.

If it hasn’t been updated that means the new user agreement isn’t asked surely?

Yes, but it should still be illegal for a company to do this. Don’t let them blame the users for accepting this bullshit. As Louis Rossmann would say, they have the mentality of a rapist.

I don’t even login so I don’t know what they are going to disable.

Been very tempted to get a beelink mini PC, N150 doesn’t cost much and could stick proxmox and Debian VMs on it

My main data usage is game installs and pretty unimportant temporary stuff so it doesn’t need backup fortunately. Game saves do of course but a simple bash script and the file size for that is tiny in comparison.

SSD performance would be nice to have, but costs extra.

UK so hopefully not too much of an issue with tariffs here. Also tempted by an N150 miniPC, could stick proxmox on that.

Still cheaper though. 4TB you are looking at around 3x the price for it in SSD storage. Although I wonder how the power use compares, might be worth factoring in but probably isn’t too massive over it’s realistic lifespan
