In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!

I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.

It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn’t afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.

I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.

This was my lesson.

I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.

Backups are super, SUPER important. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it’s always reassuring how easy it is to restore.

Cash is still used a lot. Especially for second hand small purchases. Not everyone wants to do the PayPal dance at a car boot.

Report it lost instead. I’ve lost cards loads of times over the years. One phone call and the new one is on its way. However the fact your bank wouldn’t issue your replacement makes me think they would charge you for this privilege.

I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.

What issues did you have?

How is what he said wrong? 25% is “many Russians”.

It’s in the first paragraph of the article.

Robot vacuums made by Ecovacs have been reported

I literally just explained this in the comment you replied to.

You did not.

Once again…

This was the first time you made this point, so not sure why you say “again”.

In other words, this ain’t it.

They likely won’t disclose the real reasons. However I’m yet to be convinced that reliability wasn’t taken into account.

According to this comment thread and the article, these cars have abruptly stopped functioning with no warning. Do you not think it is only a matter of time before that occurs in a dangerous situation? Insurance companies base their decisions on statistics and probabilities. It is very much related to “hypotheticals”.

I don’t know how you got to the conclusion that OP was saying “all” and not being hypothetical.

I really wish Firefox implemented easily switchable browser profiles. I am use Firefox mainly but for work I’ll still use edge so I can use this feature.

You are the MVP. Click bait titles need to die.

Aw man. I left Reddit on my own terms as soon as the writing was on the wall re: 3rd party apps.

To have access ripped away without notice must have bred some deep hatred for the platform.

I like to run a hypervisor host as just that, a hypervisor host. The host being stable is important, and also reduce attack surface by only having it as that.

An LXC per service is somewhat overkill. A docker host running on LXC could likely run all the docker containers.

Yes they were flimsy. When pushing them together the crimped ends would get pushed out the back of the plastic connector casing. Or they wouldn’t align properly and would require either major force or fiddly realignment.

https://demo.scrypted.app/ is the new kid on the block. Intuitive interface, easy to configure, not free, great system.

I don’t get it. Elon didn’t win a thing, he lost harder.

He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.

So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.

How come you don’t post from your own lemmy

Autopilot, intune. Force restart device twice to get startup repair, choose factory reset, share LAPS admin password and let the workstation rebuild itself.

Yes but it is licensed based and focused on business customers.
