- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 15 hours ago:
Required message that “raid is not a backup [solution]”, it’s an uptime and recovery system.
My primary server uses raid along with snapshots, full local backups, and off-site backups for critical data to two different cloud providers on different continents.
My second server backups images to the primary. My vps also backups to the primary. Both get the raid and snapshot treatment, and local, but not cloud. Gaming servers, boinc, and home assistant aren’t ‘critical’ :p

Oh cool, they finally started using lidar! The slam tech was impressive for the data and locatiomal awareness it could do but as soon as I got my first neato I was like ‘holy crap this is night and day’ for nav.
I thought that Amazon bought iR a few years ago and was expecting them to let the brand die, nothing much happened for the first couple years. I’ll still be very skeptical but competition is good.
- Comment on iSweep 2 days ago:
Their classic bump and go ones are super dumb. The ones with the cameras pointed at the ceiling did alright. I don’t think iR has ever transitioned to lidar, still using slam for nav.

My ex has an… S5? for a few years now, so I took his experience as a hopefully positive experience. I ordered my Saros 10R like two and a half months ago, a sale just happened to coincide with the Ecovac replacement failing. I also got credit for replacement parts, which is nice.
I had issues with initial setup, where my phone needed me to switch off cellular data to pair the bot to the network. Frustrating, found a page on reddit that nudged me in the right direction. Once that was sorted, it’s been quite pleasant. Not the lowest maintenence, and it’s suction could be… significantly stronger (even on ‘max+’ it can fail to pickup large hair from the carpet). But overall, I’m really happy with it so far. The app is on much higher quality than Ecovacs too, even though they are… suspiciously similar (down to the UI and location of buttons), the Roborock is waaaaay less buggy and feeding bad into to me.
I bought the extended warranty through RR directly (also the bot directly) instead of a store on third-party. Hopefully if it does have issues in the next… 4 years, I think? that customer service will be pleasant. iR set the bar underground, Ecovacs and Neato were good (above my low expectations), so fingers crossed. Be even better if it manages to work through the warranty without issues, it’s be the first to achieve it.

This image is 10 years old - I bought the 980 (top shield, third from the left, highest model pictured) as my first bot. Black friday 2016.
For anyone wondering, iR bots have great smarts but suck ass for hardware. I went through a total of 6 iR bots across 3 models, spending up to 1.6k USD for a model (and extended warranties by the store, which I used every time each failed, again, out of warranty). Oh and iR customer support is staffed only by certified assholes - I’m a disabled tech enthusiast and literally every single person I spoke to, both phone and email, was a condescending motherfucker. Every, last, one.
I’ve tried almost all the brands sold in the US, and I prefer Neato, which was bought by a German company and killed, so uh… that’s great. Shark is absolutely literal garbage, the one I bought failed after 28 days, Ecovacs are designed to fail after about 9 months of moderate use every other day (a wheel will start to fail to rotate, causing it to go I’m circles; two models, 3 units, across 2.5y did this). I’m testing a Roborock that has been okay so far, but it’s only been in use for two months…
Usually, extended warranties are bullshit. Here, I implore you to get one if you’re getting a bot. I’m now on bot make/model 8 (not counting replacements of the same model!), in 9 years. Seriously.
Anyway, ‘lol funny picture’.

- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 1 week ago:
While I can’t answer your direct question, look at it like this. You are looking for reason why the company wants to not put miles/kilometers on your car, that wants to not waste your fuel, that wants to not put wear and tear on your car for 7 hours (14 hours?)…
While I’d also be confused as to the logic, just smile, say thanks, and enjoy the small additional holiday bonus that you get from beating on someone else’s ride.
Unless you recently pissed someone off, and they just happen to know someone in the rental gig, whereas I’d be very cautious about the condition of the brakes.

- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 2 weeks ago:
As someone who both loves to see nude dudes, and who gets… not ‘pestered’ for them, but ‘requested, often’ for them, either you are getting sent shit-tier pics or you think the mona lisa of tits is a boner-killer.
All I need is a guy, visually or audibly (woof~) enjoying themselves. That’s it, that’s the core request. I prefer that the camera is focused, that I can see that cock in full-frame for the entire duration, that he’s washed his hands and doesn’t have crumbs under his fingernails, stuff like that. But if it’s hot, at the end of the day I don’t give a fuck. And if I can sense that it’s got real passion - maybe there’s a ton of pictures and I can follow the story, it’s building narrative (and need, and leaking precum), the agonizing peak, and the messy finish, fuck yeah. If it has needy, desperate moans, gasps, begging… I might finish before they do.
My own stuff is awful, I know it’s awful, I warn others that it is awful. I get told that it’s not. I warn people that I’m not attractive, that I’m awkward (I’m chubby and disabled). Again, I get told that it’s hot, and am encouraged to keep making new stuff. And the people that I follow, I try to encourage too. Putting yourself out there, in any capacity, is a huge leap of trust. People are awful, and for many exposing themselves like this is scary. I follow people who, like myself, post to the internet where if anyone knows the service you’re posting on, or find the link, they can view it. And I also get sent stuff just for me directly, and those I view as even more special. I could be a huge piece of shit and share them with others, but I’m both not a huge piece of shit, and the understanding that someone made content for me because I want them, I crave them, I want to ravage their body until they faint and then keep going (consentually), for example, and they understand and are signaling they want that, too - huff!
You need better stuff to look at, and/or a personal connection to someone who wants to [TV bleep] you until your [bleep] is so exhausted and ruined that that then they are going to [bleep] you until you scream and beg, then get harder and harder until you [bleep] over and over until you are totally dry, and they they are going to focus the attention on themselves for part 2. And they want to document these plans in photographic form, maybe with a captivating video ending. Those are the people you want to find.

- Comment on Being asked "Have you gotten the tour yet" upon entering a house for the first time is the adult equivelent of the kids asking: "Do you want to see my room?" 2 weeks ago:
In high school, I had a classmate that I was not yet in the ‘friends’ territory, but we knew each other and would make small talk. One day she asked me to come around and look at her family computer, usual ‘slow and acting weird’ stuff. Sure.
I go over, all prepped with a flash drive full of utilities, and get straight to work. After a bit, maybe an hour of just chatting while I run programs and make changes, she offers to show me her room. I mean, I’m just waiting for the progress bar, why not. So she leads me back and it’s a cozy room, all neat and tidy, and I stop in the doorway while she sits on the bed. I survey the room, I remember the bed being pink, like that of a flowers pedals (I don’t know names of flowers but you all know that one I’m talking about, pink with a shade of white making it a light pink). I said something about the room being nice or something, and she pats the bed next to her and offers that I sit.
“No thanks, I should probably get back to the computer to see how it’s doing.”
And I do just that. She asks for help twice more after that - and I’m just like ‘how are you this bad at computers’ but strangely the follow-up visits don’t show much for me to fix. Strange, why would she ask for help - and pay me - when it’s basically in pristine shape now?
About a decade later, it clicked. She was cute, tall, quite intelligent, and nice to talk to, but I’m both an idiot, and like 99.4% gay, so that makes sense. Had it been a guy, I would have connected the dots immediately.
Ah well, she had a better-than-new pc for quite a while, at least.
