How much are you storing on Backblaze? I love their Desktop Backup, and I've got about 20TB backed up with it. But I'm planning to add a significant amount of additional storage on a new machine and I worry that their unlimited plan may not actually be unlimited. I've heard good things about their B2 service but the cost would astronomical, way way out of my budget.
edit: Oh, apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn't support Linux. Well, I'm hosed. Got any suggestions for affordably backing up a significant amount of data on a Linux PC?
Whatsapp is terrible. Not trying to diss you for using it. Do what works for you. I just don't understand the appeal with all of the alternatives.
I can personally vouch, having seen this when private equity bought out the company I worked at and significantly cut everyone's wages while telling us we needed to massively increase productivity. Unchecked greed at its finest.
Not being evil is for the poor and powerless. Rich people are just better than the rest of us and deserve to be able to shit wherever they want.
I joke, but seriously, no one gets as rich as the leaders of all these big companies without hurting a lot of innocent people in the process. Never forget, there are no virtuous billionaires.
Wow. That's so cool. I wonder why these small impacts happened in a straignt line. Were there other notable impacts from this event that didn't line up? Hopefully we find out some day.
Totally not the same but it makes me think of how the Missoula floods carved the Columbia Gorge.
Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.
The only better sauces at the major supermarkets near me cost 3x a jar of Classico.
Wait. You mean every major tech company going all-in on "AI" was a bad idea. I, for one, am shocked at this revelation.
More relevant than ever.
Unrelated, but just the other day I was thinking about an extremely offensive NIN t-shirt I had in the 90's. I wish I still had that shirt.
My 2004 was the newest car I'd had when I bought it in 2018. I don't plan on ever buying anything newer.
And if you don't review your new documents very often, the auto-tagging and filtering options make it easy to just go through your inbox when you get a chance, knowing you didn't miss something.
My local single-screen theaters usually have little to no pre-roll ads. Some of them even have pizza and beer at a reasonable price.
That said, I watch most movies on my Plex server, from the comfort of my couch. The experience is harrd to beat.
"Being virtuous is virtue signaling."
Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?
I've long said (and this is a hill that I'm willing to die on) that everyone is smart in some way. We're all just smart about different things and in different ways.
I tried that and I'm only seeing truncated articles a few paragraphs long, just like they have on their paywalled pages.
I'm building my own NAS. I've put together gaming PCs and simple workstations, but this will be my first foray into "the big leagues". At this point, I'm planning to use Unraid because it seems quite beginner friendly. I'm not a linux newbie, but I'm no sysadmin either. The thing that's making me question my choice is that I dont plan to take advantage of Unraid's killer feature; the abilty to add any size disk into your array. I've already got as many disks as the case will hold (8 x 12TB). When the inevitable day comes that I need more storage, I'll probably just build a second machine.
I've also looked at TrueNAS Scale a bit, and it seems approachable, but perhaps more capable than I really need. I do plan to run a number of containerized apps, but don't expect I'll need to run any VMs very often. I'm also not sure how I feel about ZFS. I read so many conflicting opinions. So, I haven't decided on a file system yet either.
My primary use cases are: media server, storage server, and homelab playground. I want to self-host as many things as possible so I can stop depending so heavily on enshittifying cloud services. I know I can look a lot of this stuff up And I have been reading whatever I can find. But much of what I've learned in recent months has been a direct result of reading this sub, so I'd love to tap into the knowledge found here.
