Years ago I flew transatlantic and just before landing I got up and brushed my teeth with a tiny travel set. I still remember all the people looking at me with my toothpaste and brush in hand thinking “why didn’t I think of that?”

Learn to take care of yourself, before you take of others.

It really depends how you define reliability. SD cards are physically nigh indestructible, but can show failure when overwritten often. Hence for one off backups it’s actually a good alternative. It will start showing problems when used as a medium that often writes and overwrites the same data often.

I would recommend backups on SD cards in an A/B fashion when you want to give a backup to someone else to store safely.

I don’t understand why the ads are so absolutely boring and stupid. It’s also the same ad over and over again. I mean, make an ad which is a story line which you run throughout the game. At least make people laugh.

Back in the day I bought a fridge freezer combo, second hand, no handles. Used to be a built in model. As handles I used two magnets from full height drives, they were ludicrously strong and shaped like a little bit like a handle.

Full height drives were 3.25" high for those who are wondering.

Keep in mind that traffic in the US is simply more dangerous then in Europe. Traffic in the US consist of a large number of pick up trucks which are heavy and not designed to be friendly to other traffic in an accident. There are more factors, but my key takeaway is accidents versus deadly accidents.

One logs into the VM and starts checking the files of course. Go from there.

Curious, you might want to look into what’s generating your data first. It’s easy to generate data, it’s harder to only keep the data that’s useful.

Curious, you might want to look into what is generating your data then first. It’s very easy to generate data, it’s a lot harder to only generate and keep useful data.

I"d argue along that division in a democracy only is a strength if there’s enough division to warrant coalition. Without enough division it can become an us versus them game with neither side willing to find common ground.

Consider running HA in a light weight systemd-nspawn container with minimal debian. No docker, only install the repositories you need. HACS if needed. Run your own database on the side somewhere and let HA use it.

By itself HA is fairly lightweight already.

I’m glad I can laugh about it now. The one thing this did do was educate a lot of people about the importance on off-site backups and off-site fail overs.

The humor is in the amount of hoops to jump through to get some basic info out using Powershell. Under Linux one would use a single command or just check what the system exposes in the form of a file.

I have no idea how to do forensics under Windows to be honest. You’d probably have to write something to get to the block layer so it can be dumped and analyzed. Perhaps OP can amuse us how he went about it.

Because it’s not Windows and it’s not MacOS. Yes, it’s an operating system, but what people are comparing against are their expectations. I dont expect a program that’s not written or designed for my particular distribution or operating system to work. Now, in some cases it turns out that it does and sometimes it works better then under Microsoft, but that shouldn’t be your expectation. The software that is made for it runs as expected.

Working hardware is usually step one. If your hardware isn’t supported then of course you’re in for a rough ride.

As far as cooking spray goes, you pay for the can and then you pay for the product inside. A silicone brush and a few drops of good cooking oil works equally good and you know exactly what you’re cooking with.

After years of baking bread almost every day, I second this.

You can, it used to the last resort way of rebooting the phone if it hung completely. Mine is still using the original battery, which, considering the amount of charge cycles, is quite impressive.

As for daily usage and “tech” - I have a Samsung Galaxy S1. The battery still holds a charge and it’s being used on a near daily basis (for very simple stuff). Runs Omnirom with android 4.

That is just brilliant!
