  • I have a 120TB unraid server at home, and a 40TB unraid server at work. Both use 2 x parity disks.

    The critical work stuff backs up to home, and the critical home stuff backs up to work.

    The media is disposable.

    Both servers then back up to Crashplan on separate accounts - work uses the Australian server on a business account, home used the US server on a personal account.

    I figure I should be safe unless Australia and the US are nuked simultaneously… At which point my data integrity is probably not the most pressing issue.




  • I’d be happier if Firefox received more support. A relatively equal duopoly of browsers is preferable IMO to 80% market share for one, and the remaining 20% broken up amongst half a dozen competing alternatives.

    Lot of developer power out there that would be better spent improving what’s mostly already there (Firefox) rather than starting multiple different projects from scratch again. People will burn up any energy and spare time they had to help without even seeing a new browser render it’s first HELL WORLD

    My Facebook feed looks nothing like that, nor most of the (exaggerated?) complaints in the replies.

    Mine is full of content from people I know, local community groups, and pages I follow.

    If I scroll long enough to run out of actual local/ subscribed content it will start feeding me other stuff, but it’s usually at least somewhat relevant. If it’s not I just hit the X to say not interested and usually take the opportunity to get off the damn thing for a while.

    Facebook does a lot of stupid crap but these sort of lazy observations smack of some nerd pandering to the cool kids about how lame their parents are to get some acceptance or something equality as cringe.


  • I have literally worn the same brand and style of clothes for well over a decade. There’s photos of me from 12 years ago and I have the same Dickies pants and corporate(?) style polo on.

    All the money I’ve saved on stylish clothes over the years have been spent more productively on… actually no I’ve wasted it. But still.

    I wear a uniform during the week, and another on the weekend apparently.




  • I’d like some specific examples of what you originally described please, not just a general “China makes everything” as if that proves anything.

    China makes everything because Western companies sought to maximise profit.

    Costs go up, because the Western companies selling the Chinese-made product put the price up to maximise profit.

    You don’t get to outsource everything and charge top dollar for it, then cry to the government that you need protection when the Chinese companies start competing in the same market with the same product for cheaper.







  • Yes, for being on call.

    Back when mobile plans were expensive and coverage was terrible, pagers were fantastic. They’d get the message inside a concrete basement where a mobile had no chance of reception.

    To get around the lack of acknowledgment on pagers, our plan had a “resend page 3 times every 15 minutes until acknowledged by return call, if not acknowledged ring these mobiles until answered” type setup. Worked very well for emergency after hours calls.

    Now we have Pushover.
