Rear tire of a FWD vehicle both times and a small leak while driving on dead straight roads. I was surprised it took me so long to notice as well, but I guess when you’re driving straight and it’s the rear of a FWD vehicle, it’s difficult to notice.

Gotta keep throwing shit at the wall.

And because you type like that.

I will say it’s weird to actively not like Linux. It’s OK to think it isn’t for your daily driver PC, but disliking it is weird. It’s undeniably useful as a server OS, and you yourself probably interact with it frequently, even if you don’t know it.

As someone who has gotten a flat and not noticed until the tire was destroyed multiple times, I love TPMS systems. They save me money in the long run as the tire can be patched instead of replaced.

Can’t you get data on some tablets? Sounds like that’s what they need!

How the fuck does that business model work? 10TB is cheaper than Backblaze B2 in 20 months.

turns on VPN

Oh no, anyways.

If they’re ever ignorant enough to ban VPNs we’ll be fucked.

As usual, the solution is education. Parental education needs to be prioritized imo. That said, I have no idea how we would implement such a thing. Most likely better general education would help at least.

That’s an incredibly good point. Bad actors are the worst. Some ideas:

• Maybe you’d need to contribute your storage capacity +10% (or more), to account for your and other’s downtime during disasters.
• A time limit after disasters would be necessary. It’s difficult to think of a proper time limit though, as even a month might not be enough time if your entire house burns down.
• Maybe a payment system could be set up to where, if your server doesn’t ping for a week, your credit card is automatically charged (after pinging you with many emails). Sure, that’d suck, but it’d be better than loosing your data, and cheaper overall than paying for cloud backups. I’m not sure where that money would go. Maybe distributed to those who didn’t experience a disaster, or maybe to the software project, though that would mean people are profiting from a disaster. Maybe it could go to a charity of your choice or something.

Definitely a difficult problem to solve. I’m sure people smarter than me have ideas beyond mine.

That NAS software company Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) funded has a feature for this planned I think.

An open-source standalone implementation would be dope as hell. Sure, it’d mean you’d need to double your NAS capacity (as you’d have to provide enough storage as you use), but that’s way easier than building a second NAS and storing/maintaining it somewhere else or constantly paying for and managing a cloud backup.

Yeah, people have done workarounds and stuff to get their entire NAS backed up but those seemed sketchy and bad when I looked into it.

The main differences I can think of are:

• Better video quality
• More normalized
• Easier to get your hands on
• They look like raybans and are brand name
• They’re debatibly “cool”
• Also Facebook is involved

Basically they produce better video and are more normalized in society.
