I dunno about 2 copies on one drive - they’re both at risk of the same drive failing, etc.

Since my current data store isn’t massive at the moment, if I have a fire (and I’m home), part of my plan is to grab my NAS on the way out.

But I still have off-site backup (and a local duplicate of my data).

And people wonder why I have hundreds of PDFs for shit I don’t own.

Yea, this map is nonsense.

I’ve never heard half of these names used like this.

“Chesapeake”… First I’ve never heard it used as a region, second the region so labeled on the map would be better called Mid-Atlantic (and that wouldn’t really be accurate either) that really is the Mid-Atlantic region.

Third, the Chesapeake doesn’t even extend to PA, let alone up to NY or Jersey, over there is the Delaware Bay, so should we call that region “Delaware”?

I’ve never once heard anyone call that region Chesapeake.

Then there’s the Texas nonsense - there’s West Texas, Central, East (sometimes jokingly referred to as Arkansas) I’ll allow Rio Grande though I’ve never heard that used.

The West stuff… Yea, no. The Rockies, OK.

Love that column of buttons up the left side. Really screams late 90’s/early 2000’s.

Exactly.

I’ll admit to being lazy and not enabling encryption on my Windows laptops. But if I deployed something for someone, it would be encrypted.

With you.

Fuck RCS. It’s trash. Who benefits from a messenger, in the 21st century, that’s tied to a phone number?

They’re working on something other protocols have had for years. 🤦🏼‍♂️

RCS has been around since 2010

15 years and it’s still problematic? Sounds like something that just needs to be let go.

Stop pushing this garbage that’s tied to hardware/sim/phone number on us. What value is that for the end user, seriously? Why would an end user today want a messenger that’s tied to a phone number?

Fully-functional, cross-platform, network-based, open-source instant messaging has been available (even on mobile) since 2009, maybe earlier.

What I always ask about RCS: who benefits today from a messaging system that’s hard-bound to a phone number?

“Becoming”?

Ask a librarian or fact checking site? I don’t consider either of them to be “experts” on misinformation, especially supposed “fact checking sites”.

And a librarian’s mandate is about managing sources, not being an expert in the data itself.

Otherwise good stuff.

Well, he’s slowly bringing Twitter down, which fits with his description of Twitter before he bought it.

Seems like he’s doing what he saw as needed doing - create space for other platforms to compete with Twitter.

Which he obliquely said he was going to do, before he bought it.

By slowly killing it, room is made for multiple other platforms to grow.

Care to clarify?

Lol.

May be those fees are annual licensing fees. And who knows what else is tied to that (support contracts, etc)?

I once enabled my company to forgo a license renewal of $10k…after 3 months of heavy work. Not really a big savings. But it also then eliminated an annual $1 mil in servicing fees that they would’ve had to pay for 10 years, by contract (so saved $10 mil). That we didn’t know when I started.

Think we need more info, like maybe a photo of the bike or a link to it.

Go right ahead. No one’s stopping you.

Bring our your ballista, or utilize your sou in the opponent king’s court. You do have a few in there, right?

So a mix of the Matrix and They Live?
