An OS is a tool.
And you are a tool if you use the wrong tool for a purpose.
E.g. an essential program that only runs on windows and is either impossible or troublesome to run elsewhere. - Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 2 days ago:

- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 days ago:
In theory you could setup a cron with a docker compose to fire up a container, sync and once all endpoint jobs are synced to shut down.
As it seemingly has an API it should be possible. - Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 days ago:
Only back up the essentials like photos and documents or rare media.
Don’t care about stuff like Avengers 4K that can easily be reaquired - Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 days ago:
Veeam Backup&Replication with a NFR license for me.
My personal setup:
First backup: Just a back up to a virtual drive stored on my NAS
Offsite backup: Essentially an export of what is available and then creates a full or incremental backup to an external USB drive.
I have two of those. One I keep at home in case my NAS explodes. The second is at my work place.
The off-site only contains my most important pieces of data.
As for frequency: As often as I remember to make one as it requires manual interaction.Our clients have (depending on their size) the following setups:
2 or more endpoints (excluding exceptions):
Veeam BR Server
First backup to NAS
Second backup (copy of the first) to USB drives (min. of 3. 1 connected, 2 somewhere stored in the business, 3 at home/off-site. Daily rotation)
Optionally a S3 compatible cloud backup.Bigger customers maybe have mirroring but we have those cases very rarely.

I see some US connections on my end but usually the South America, Europe and some lesser known countries around the world (Primarily private trackers with a healthy mix of movies and anime and rarely tv shows).
China comes up often for me. - Comment on Self Hosted Network Analyzer? 3 days ago:
What are your country hotspots for what kind of content? (e.g. if you primarily aquire movies, shows, anime, linux isos, misc.)

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
It’s a double dipping technique.
First all players are hyped for GTA6, some even buying a console to experience it on launch day.
Then the PC release get’s out 1-2 years later and everyone with a capable rig know it will run better there and buy it again.Assuming it will be a 80€ game, they now made 160€ in revenue instead of 80.

- Comment on A Deadly Love Affair with a Chatbot. Sewell Setzer was a happy child - before he fell in love with an AI chatbot and took his own life at 14. 1 week ago:
In our school (Germany, BW) we had two types of religion class: Ethics and “regular”.
Ethics were for anyone opting out of regular classes (I believe before 14 only with consent of the parents). Regular was split between protestants and catholics. And basically nothing else than talking about the bible and it’s stories.
And I can’t remember it being anything else than just discussing the stories.
What I heard about ethics class was also nothing like you are suggesting. While it seemed to take a view over every religion (seemingly primarily christian and muslim) it was also about ethics with and between animals and humans.And afaik the christian classes were with teachers that had theological focus (but afaik not studied)
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
Take this source as you want. Couldnt find much about it.
Since 2020, Aurora has been deploying Class 8 trucks integrated with its Aurora Driver technology, which contains its proprietary LiDAR. To date, Aurora Driver has traversed over 1,200 miles without a driver present. As the company looked to launch driverless trucks as a service called “Aurora Horizon” in 2024, we reported it had secured $820 million in additional funding to help it reach commercial operations.

and
The Aurora Driver, with proprietary FirstLight lidar that can see over 450 meters ahead, has the ability to spot and react to pedestrians up to 11 seconds sooner than human drivers at highway speeds at night.

Replace the less sensical ones like religion classes.
Nobody needs those. If you wamt to learn more about god and the world, I am sure the (local) church is more than willing to share. - Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 1 week ago:
I can certainly close my account and install games from other store fronts on my PC.
Valve is neither forcing me on my SteamDeck nor on my PC to use Steam.
I use emulators on my deck and also installed EA Origin and successfully launched titles on it.And Apple was only recently forced to allow devs outlinks to their respective shopping pages (currently only in the US). Just the priviledge to link users to the subscription page to circumvent apple trying to get a cut.
That is actually lock in.
On Android I can do what I want. And if I so desire I could install an alternative OS on it.
Try that with an iPhone. - Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
The one article I heard on TechLinked talked about them using lidarr.
So better in every way than a tesla.
Assuming they are top mounted, they have a better scanning coverage than a regular car. - Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
And semi rigs are…personal transport?
- Comment on Your favorite "one click" self hosted open source app installer/server manager? 1 week ago:
Totally fair.
But the devs usually provide a docker compose and .env to demo as well. - Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 1 week ago:
Maybe even in the driver cabin or something that’s more cushioned and less prone to get vibrated to death.
- Comment on Your favorite "one click" self hosted open source app installer/server manager? 1 week ago:
Just invest the five minutes to read the docker compose instructions.
It aint that hard. - Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 week ago:

Very good graphics
A solid driving KI (that wont crash into you on purpose)
Interesting environmentAt that point only the story can make the difference and that is just at random.

My thumb of rule for anything announced by AAA-studios: Release date + 1 year.
And it almost never went wrong.
And for R*: Announced + 1 year extension + 1-2 years for PC release
