For my buddy and I our critical data doesn’t change often so once or twice a year when we get together we swap drives again. Simple spinning discs for us. No need for hardware or anything to keep them running. They just sit on a shelf just in case something happens we can hand it back to pull the data back onto a running server
- Comment on Backups of Backups 1 day ago:
My friend who lives a thousand miles away swaps hard drives with me that are backups of critical stuff. He keeps my data, I keep his. As others have said your garage is a start but you really want some sort of geographically separate backup.

Oooo, quercetin, so spooky like myricetin and kaempferol. I can’t even go outside for fear of the chemical cyanidin. Wait. Those are just banana flavour compounds. My bad.

Oh good lord no. Who knows what bacteria they’ll start ingesting because the water is “raw”

I mean it’s been a while since I watched any of it but I recall there being space Nazis and they used their overwhelming force to subjugate others.
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 5 days ago:
For some that’s their main hobby. If they’ve got an emergency fund, retirement account, and can cover expenses, why shouldn’t they save for their hobby? Seems like they’re doing it the smart way.

- Comment on NOW! 1 week ago:
Although I agree and run a free grill myself, this looks like one of those computer controlled pellet smokers, not a regular grill. Not a straight comparison to grilling.

Sorry, only lambdas.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 1 week ago:
If there’s science for this you have I’d love to see it. I’m the exact opposite. Some good hot sauce on beans and rice and I eat twice as much it’s so good.
- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 1 week ago:
I dunno about child grooming, but certainly something unsavory. The child grooming is more on Roblox these days.
- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 1 week ago:
Yeah, sounds like you’re starting to figure some things out for yourself. This is all natural and fine. You’re empathizing with the choices they made and trying to understand why but also recognizing issues you have.
Keep thinking and growing. You’ll do fine.
I also didn’t have friends growing up. It’s never too late, just can take more effort. I didn’t really start thriving until after college.
- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 1 week ago:
It really depends on why you hate them. Lots of parents truly care but are terrible at expressing anything other than commands. This can lead to a lot of tension as you grow older and begin to want more freedom.
My parents were abusive assholes. Mother was a classic narcissist who would make us compete for signs of her affection. I hate her completely for how she raised us, but recognize that part of her had to actually care as she did put a lot of effort into our education.
It’s a complex relationship between a parent and child.

That reminds me. Need to go clone some grape cultivars and do some more guerilla gardening at my buddy’s house

I don’t know if they’re accustomed to the norms more but Hooters starts as in person encounter. It’s already a very different dynamic from lurking online amongst hundreds watching a person knowing they can’t see you.
- Comment on arborholing 3 weeks ago:
Sadly I’ve still never seen any real papers on this being an actual theory.
I’m still want to believe I’m Ent livestock though.
- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 3 weeks ago:
I get what you’re saying, and agree, but there were many more, Ancestry.com and findagrave.com and many more were also down (while I’m in the middle of an ancestry fact finding trip). It really was massive.

I mean, it’s working great for me. Im fully Linux as of yesterday, lol.
- Comment on Microsoft update breaks localhost in Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Do they not have update test beds? I feel like this is such an important system they should have caught this. It’s not some obscure feature.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not always about the user count though. It’s about your end goals. There’s two types of social engineering. Mass and targeted. You’re focusing on the mass social engineering.
Say you want specific information on how Crowdstrike works. You could launch a massive social engineering campaign on Twitter but if you don’t catch any of the engineers who work at Crowdstrike then what’s the point? You just spent all that money for nothing. It would be better to find where those engineers socialize online and try to inject yourself there, doesn’t matter the size of that community and it could very well be on Lemmy in one of the programmer communities.
Now if you want to convince the entire world of something then yeah, focus on the big user counts, don’t worry about the small fry communities. It’s all about your end goal.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes it’s not just the numbers but who those numbers are. Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, influencing all the techy Linux nerds that seem to make up Lemmy might be more helpful than just blowing into the wind for as many as possible on Twitter or whatever.
I’ve got no data either way on this, just some basic social engineering training for work.
- Comment on Executions in Florida and Missouri as 4 days of state-sanctioned killings begin 3 weeks ago:
You can try that, but in my experience with my own conservative family they just don’t care. It’s the inverse of “I’d rather ten grifters take advantage of my charity in case I help at least one real person”. They’re okay with killing innocent people so they can get the few criminals. They know and understand completely. But they live in an echo chamber and never think about how it impacts them, that they themselves even risk being the murdered innocents.

- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 4 weeks ago:
They secondary drive I highly recommend you find a way to move that out of your house. For me I have a friend 8 hours away, we swap drives on occasion to keep each other’s backups in case of flood/fire/toddler or whatever other force of nature
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 4 weeks ago:
I helped my last company not fully unionize but come together to demand change. I got the support of several teams backing me to confront management on their return to office policy. Management changed their minds quick.
It’s not easy and was basically a second job for a few months for me, but you could always try to start the unionization effort.
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 4 weeks ago:
It depends on why it’s toxic. You say it’s the people but that can still vary a lot. If it’s because the other people are constantly attacking and belittling you then I’d (personally) just put my head down, do my work, and keep a hunt for a new job on the side.
If however they’re “difficult” because they’re set in their ways and don’t like change and aren’t good at expressing their point of view and you find yourself clashing on what to do and how. It’s different. I’ve found I can adapt to those kinds of people and we eventually find a rhythm that works for both of us.
I’ll also add I’ve had jobs with five different companies with people from many countries, and I’ve yet to find a job where at least some of the people aren’t toxic. I’ve sometimes had success requesting moves to teams/projects away from the most toxic people. But unfortunately “knuckle down and put up with crappy people” is what’s worked the best. But only you can know for yourself if you can do that in your current situation.
I’d also be looking for an EU sugar mama as much as possible on the side.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 5 weeks ago:
Kind of? The cells, called adipocytes, primarily store triglycerides and a few other things in a liquid form. When you lose weight that liquid gets squeezed out and used as energy, to build other chemicals your body needs, or peed straight out.
So less a shower and more getting rung out like a sponge.
