They didn’t own the car parks, they leased them on long, expensive leases they couldn’t get out of, or sell.

Keypass with the vault loaded onto a free OneDrive account.
Just back it up occasionally.

Used Target Process as my last place. Way nicer than Jira IMO
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
If you are going to use it enough to pay for it sure. But that’s always been the case.
The main benefits of cloud are it’s ability to scale quickly, it’s ability to provide geographic reach and the conversation of capex to opex.

They are backups, you potentially get copy’s of the data in multiple locations across continents.
BUT I agree, you are relying on them entirely for it. Lots of vendor tie in stuff in the industry unfortunately.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
With some of the cloud providers, their built in backups are linked to the resource. So even if you have super duper geo-zone redundant backups for years, they still get nuked if you drop the server.
It’s always felt a bit stupid, but the backups can still normally be restored by support.
- Comment on Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files? 1 week ago:
Sorry, brain fart moment.
I meant online only - the complete opposite of what I wrote …
I want to be able to upload files and have them stored on the server and only downloaded when needed (or if I mark them as always downloaded)
I don’t need or want everything on my laptop or phone (requires lots of storage!), but want to be able to get them easily when I do.
- Comment on Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files? 1 week ago:
It doesn’t support offline files though. I can’t dump a few hundred GB on there and then access it from my phone etc

The SVG format itself is a bit of a security disaster, nevermind stuff like this.
Impressive.
- Comment on My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace. 3 weeks ago:
Now enjoy the power brick roulette. My work laptop charger (dell) won’t do anything more than trickle charge anything else (other than my girlfriend’s Mac?!). I had to buy a new brick to get something that appears to charge everything at each devices rated speed.
Being able to charge a laptop from my monitor using the same cable that handles the display output and peripherals is cool too! (But that DOESN’T work on a Mac… It won’t pass the keyboard through!)
“Standards”!
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 weeks ago:
If, hypothetically, France put a tax on electricity from fast chargers for example - you would be double paying that milage.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 weeks ago:
I can see that causing a proliferation of illegal GPS jammers.
… And lots of stories about the government having gos trackers in all electric cars
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 weeks ago:
With this, you would potentially be double(or triple if you include road tax itself) dipping on tax though. You would be paying for milage + Irish tax on ‘fuel’ when filling up in Ireland.
With petrol, you would be paying Irish tax filling up & driving there, not both.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 weeks ago:
What about anyone that drives abroad? You would accrue English road tax for driving on french or Irish roads!
- Comment on Reddit's human content wins amid the AI flood 3 weeks ago:
It really depends on the community to be fair. Smaller ones feel more like here.
At that point, why not just be here though.

- Comment on System requirements for a Matrix server? 4 weeks ago:
Follow up question for voice/video servers in general.
If I want to host a server that allows video calls, do I need GPU hardware acceleration?

Looks like they got caught out by this all too, they are asking for another month or so to get a refactor in.

- Comment on A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad 4 weeks ago:
That’s the opposite of how I would understand it though. If you said a passive RCE I would understand that as it being run without me doing anything - in this case, just having notepad open making me vulnerable.

That doesn’t stop them from calling the product “oat milk” though does it?

- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 5 weeks ago:
If I understand correctly, they recently rebuilt all of the voice/video stuff. Video should be coming soon, it’s more of a resourcing issue for their servers.
I looked at self hosting, but it’s a bit of a mess currently.
