To your point, I’m running Proxmox on a 5+ year old Dell small form factor desktop with 3 (2.5") drives in it for data. That’s all that will phsycially fit.
Works great as a file server, and it syncs the data partition to a NAS and a couple external drives using an offset schedule. It also has a backup running to Backblaze. (The NAS doesn’t have the performance of the desktop, and it’s even older).
And add a cloud backup solution like storj.io, backblaze, etc
Not sure why you mentioned he collects flutes?
I was just going to say this seems to belong in aneurysm posting
My experience with military gear is the opposite - it was designed to last long enough to use, with the recognition it’s going to be lost or destroyed in battle.
That, of course, depends on the item. Older stuff can be quite sturdy. For example, I have a 1960’s self-contained analog multimeter that’s in it’s own aluminum case (looks like it was designed in the 50’s, just post-WWII). It’s clearly been banged around (the case is rough) but it still works, and is designed to be regularly adjusted - there’s a sticker or label inside showing the last time it was adjusted.
It seems stuff from at least the 1980’s (probably the 60’s, really) had more of a “built just good enough” design goal. Regular/continuous maintenance isn’t much of a concern for the military as compared to us civilians.
Well, the fired employee dodged a bullet, and the rest of the world now knows what kind of person this douchebag “founder” is.
Ouch, an Xperia 1 IV is a bit pricey, best I can find is about $300. As a comparison, my current Pixel 5 is about $150. (Yea, not comparable phones at all, but for my use-case it doesn’t matter).
Nice phone though, thanks for the recommendation - I’m always looking for my next bootloader unlocked phone. Other than being glass backed (which I’m willing to live with, but what’s so wrong with plastic!!) the Xperia line looks great.
Yea, that’s a weird thing for him to say.
They have basically no peripheral vision, which seems a big part of why this happens. From my understanding, prey tend to have greater peripheral vision, not predators, which isn’t an intelligence thing.
Wow, looking at the photo below of his wing all I hear is Terry Gillam saying “beautiful plumage” in the Monty Python Parrot sketch. That’s incredible!
The look on that adult with the one “ear” up is great (is that called a tuft on owls?) - he looks like an adult about ready to chastise some kids.
Owls make such good meme images, why don’t we see more of them?!
Also, awesome story.
But the device itself shouldn’t need internet connectivity for this. That networking should be handled by a local master device, the same way access control systems (e.g. Door badge readers, alarm monitoring, etc) work.
Then this device would only use a local, isolated network to access the master device.
Oh, ffs, he replaced powder with a brick? Would’ve been better off to cut it with talc.
Verify your sleep habits and that you’re actually sleeping through the night. Disturbed sleep really messes with the cycles, so you don’t get proper sleep. If you snore, that may be an indication of apnea, which can really mess with sleep.
Take a look at your diet, and eating schedule. If either are inconsistent, it can affect quality of sleep.
If you drink soda, (or any bottled drinks), work on changing that. Between the sugar and caffeine they can really mess with you in so many ways when consumed regularly.
This is a hard one - pay attention to (and respect) your sleep gate. I’ve struggled with this my whole life. When you body tells you it’s sleepy, listen, and go to bed. I know, it can be tough. But overriding your sleep gate can really mess with your sleep schedule.
Fine, Dad, you can have the upvote.
Hahahahaha, thanks for the chuckle, that’s perfect!
I’ve found playing solitaire on my phone is just the right amount of stimulation to keep me engaged, but repetitive enough to put me to sleep after maybe 2 or 3 deals, at most. Often it’s only half way through a single hand.
No, it doesn’t, or we wouldn’t have all the reports of malware on phones.
It simply isn’t possible for all those reports to be only from the tiny fraction of people who sideload.
Play protect has been around for what, ten years now, the play store has tons of malicious apps, yet people still get malware.
As a final thought, why is protection from malicious apps from the play store being performed on the phone instead of in the store?
If it’s in Forbes, it makes me wonder what new agenda is being pushed and by who.
Their big idea is phone numbers that pipe all calls AND SMS into XMPP. It’s $5 mo for unlimited messages, and the rate for voice calls is less than 1¢/min (I forget exactly).
So now calls and sms for my second number come through an XMPP app on my phone (Cheogram), and through apps on other devices/operating systems (e.g. Snikket on iOS, Gajim on Windows and Linux).
Voicemail show up as attachments via XMPP in Cheogram, and it does transcription.
You can use pretty much any XMPP app you want, but I’ve found only Cheogram supports phone calls well. I do use Monacles Chat on my phone for messaging and disable message notifications on Cheogram.
Ok dammit, I snorted.
Take your upvote.
