I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂

It looks like a praying mantis

In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!

I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.

It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn’t afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.

I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.

This was my lesson.

I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.

Backups are super, SUPER important. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it’s always reassuring how easy it is to restore.

You have assumed the reason for the rule is censorship. I think incorrectly.

Christ. This rings true.

Violating your principals for some undetectable flouride in the water is a small price to pay for an entire area of people to receive better dental prospects.

Flip this round. You still have a choice, buy bottled water.

Whaaaat?!.. Oh okay. Nice.

The large grocery store in my town was taking Halloween items off the shelves and replacing them with Christmas items yesterday. Halloween hasn’t even been yet and the rush for Christmas has started. They had Christmas items for sale in the last week of September. The commercialisation of Christmas is out of control.

For the first few seconds I thought it really was a mirror.

Cash is still used a lot. Especially for second hand small purchases. Not everyone wants to do the PayPal dance at a car boot.

Report it lost instead. I’ve lost cards loads of times over the years. One phone call and the new one is on its way. However the fact your bank wouldn’t issue your replacement makes me think they would charge you for this privilege.

They should start a payment plan. $5 per day.

The current amount would be paid off by Saturday, April 11, 10951628027954030802047011389440

I like their ColorVu night vision technology so was going to buy a bunch of these for my next home.

Same as what I have done here, I put the cameras in their own isolated VLAN with no internet and they only rule is to allow the NVR to access those cameras streams.

In the UK, if Christmas or New Year falls on a weekend, a seperate equivalent holiday is made during the week to compensate.
