6·3 days agoSo your issue sounds is one of disorganization rather than backup or migration.
Use something like WizTree or WinDirStat, which will help you visualize the data on your disk, and hopefully locate your critical files. You’ve got no choice other than to grind it out and get your shit organized.
Once done, migrate your newly organized files onto a new disk. Unless you want to play with weird drivers, I’d recommend you format the new disk as ExFat to maximize compatibility between Linux and Windows.
I understand the importance of backups and regularly practice doing so, even if not to the fullest extent.
File history is not a backup, and certainly not a backup strategy. If your data truly is critical, which given your lengthy post explaining how far you’re going towards not backing up your data, look at 3-2-1, then reassess how critical your data is. At a minimum, you should have an offline copy on another disk, and not just a volume shadow copy.
81·11 days agoNo, Australia is the first country in the world to implement this ban. So it is correct as written.
6·1 month ago“Almost” a monopoly, by definition, is not a monopoly. Your concerns are valid, but there are legal ramifications associated with these terms.

You can not.
This is not just a surface stain, but it has literally changed the material underneath the burn.
Amy attempted fix will just be an obscene amount of work for what will still be an obvious repair job.
If you’ve ever connected a laptop or PC to a television as a monitor, the benefit of 4K for text readability is incredibly apparent.
If this isn’t your use case, and you’re not right up against your screen, 1080p is more than good enough; not like most content is coming down on 4K unless you’re paying extra, anyways.
2·6 months agoThey haven’t updated their wikis for Operating Costs or Hosting since late 2022, somewhat aligned with their blog post on handling the mass influx of users from “E-day”.
Back then this was 6 AMD 5950 16/32 with 128GB of RAM and 2x3.84TB SSDs, with one “storage provider” with an AMD epyc 32/64 with 400GB of RAM and 10TB of storage.
Their hosting provider doesn’t offer these same SKUs, but roughly equivalent could be about €200/mo for each of the former, and the beefiest high RAM option is like €800/mo, totalling €2K/mo?
Curious how much the infrastructure has grown, but I haven’t seen anything else. Even so, these costs are extremely high.

10·10 months agoIn short, since this is somewhat near term, you probably want as little risk as possible, so stocks are not recommended.
Said longer, a high interest savings account or bond fund at 2-3% is probably your safest bet, but you also need to consider the opportunity cost— tariffs WILL increase the price of a new vehicle this time next year, so are you planning to buy new? Does it make any sense to buy now and refinance later? Tariffs could be as high as 25%, depending on which way the wind blows (country of origin, assuming new, etc).
Opportunity cost aside, what’s your spending target, how much do you have saved already, and how much does optimizing on interest rate actually help?
From $0, saving $300/mo for 3 years at 0% interest is $10,800.
At 3% interest, the same total after 3 years is $11,127, which nets you $327. That’s not nothing, but even an insanely optimistic 10% is ~$1100, but you would be just as likely to lose money.
Your needs and risk profile are yours alone, we’d need a lot more information to say more than “low risk and buy used”.

Well, in fairness, it’s $7 now
