There are some good comments in this discussion
- Comment on Backing up easily 2 days ago:
Rsync can rename/move target changed or gone from the source.
I use those options so that I get a separate ‘archive’ dir next to my backup target, with old versions of files.
It’s useful for loose collections such as photos.

I don’t know why this needs to go any further than “in which country can everyone afford dental treatment”.

This is something to do with that Disney movie with all the singing and the donkeys, isn’t it?
- Comment on Official Training 1 week ago:
In this part of California the trucks have a robot mechanism that the drive controls, so the driver stays in the cab unless something goes wrong. I’ve seen them stop to dump out cardboard from the truck because it wasn’t in the recycling bin.
One driver doesn’t even stop, they just keep rolling as the bin gets dumped, so they often drop it blocking the neighbor’s driveway.

This is why I donate to archive.org
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 3 weeks ago:
I just thought that it worked well with as a static image.
But maybe someone had a bit of fun doing that divider effect.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 3 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m saying, both versions show both outlines.
The coloring changes, but both show the same information.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 3 weeks ago:
Why does the map on the website need that draggable divider when both versions show both types of projection?

Don’t fall for it!

- Comment on AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET!! 4 weeks ago:
I searched for how much data 4k streaming used and my browser gave me an AI-generated answer! Now I feel bad.
- Comment on I ain't got no time to maintain some stupid little plastic bread clip. I got a landlord to feed. 1 month ago:
That looks like one of those gifs of people doing impressions of birds, but I don’t think it is.
- Comment on bird based storage 1 month ago:
I haven’t yet watched the video, but from the posted images, it looks like they converted the image itself to a frequency spectrum, so no image format encoding was involved before it reached the point of being audio.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 1 month ago:
After removing them (or even if there was nothing to remove) I test out links I’m sending in a private browser window to check that they would work for other people.
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 2 months ago:
And there’s are those gadgets that have a USB-C socket but don’t have the correct circuitry, so that they only work with a USB-A to C cable.
- Comment on Phone shit discussion 2 months ago:
For newer pixels there’s a feature that runs a local AI to monitor the conversation and will alert you if the conversation seems scam-like.
Telling grandma to be suspicious of buying Target cards to pay the IRS might be an actual good use for AI.
- Comment on There are major holes in this theory 2 months ago:
Pykrete was invented by the cousin of the science TV presenter whose voice can be heard on Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science”.

You know how the weather forecast has the temperature and the “feels like” temperature?
Well, this is the 405 and the “feels like” 405.

- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 2 months ago:
My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.
People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”
- Comment on What is something you like to tell people? 3 months ago:
“It’s too late for me. But you can still save yourself.”
Well, I used to. They don’t let me talk to the interns any more.

I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey’s paw: “I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn’t have to keep going out and meeting people!”
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 4 months ago:
I use rsync.net
It’s not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.
For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.
I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.

I think that he wore gloves, then they decided that they didn’t like it. So someone had to paint hands over the gloves and they didn’t try to re-scales them.
