Section 1

What is streaming? To understand what streaming is, first we have to explain how the Internet works.

The Internet…

The Universe…

Goddamn it just gimme the fucking information already!

Free returns with Prime? I hope so

Antisemitic != Anti Zionist

My 16GB XPS running Linux almost fills up entirely when running several docker containers, IDEA, Firefox, Teams, Postman and a few other, smaller apps, but it fits still, and I can work with it (tho I can’t wait to get my 32GB framework laptop)

Now gimme a 8GB MBP and I’ll show you that I wouldn’t get shit done on that configuration. And at 1600 it’s just crazy.

I don’t wanna repeat myself, but: 7840u for the next few years, then I hope RISC V will be mature enough to kick some ass (and that framework releases a board for it).

That’s all I dream of.

X Æ A-12

Well that’s funny, I’m typing this from the newly installed Connect app, since on Liftoff I couldn’t find an easy way to block an entire community.

Yeah, I changed the app I use just to finally get rid of Star Trek stuff from my feed.

2600 is dirt cheap even by Euro standards, trust me.

Here in Italy a single room split would cost you around 1k to 2.5-3k depending on the brand.

A whole house system you’re probably looking at 10k and then some.

Not that I’m aware of, I’m doing the Takeout part by myself.

You can however request the Takeout to be recurring, e.g. once every N months. Or you can just request a one time takeout.

I did the latter just to know how much space it takes, but I’m going for the recurring ones from now on. Google will send you a mail once the Takeout archive(s) is/are ready for download.

So exciting!

Rankine?

Science says Kelvin.

Have you tried with √0,86?

Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.

Probably if you Google it or search on the Vorta website.

The short version, after some research, is that Borg is better suited for Linux users as it involves ssh key based authentication to the backup server hosted on borgbase.com.

Whereas restic is maybe simpler to setup if you’re on Windows.

The good news is that, whichever “protocol” you use, borgase.com provides cheap cloud storage supporting both, for as little as 24€/year for 250 GB. It’s the plan I have and it fits comfortably my ~130GB of Google Photos + all the other Gapps exports (~10GB gmail + 15GB gdocs being the biggest offenders after photos).

You can read a lot about this by just Googling Borg vs restic.

Both Borg and restic are just the backend apps, you’ll want a frontend as well, be it a CLI or a separate GUI application. Since I use Borg on Linux I paired it with Vorta, simple GUI and has scheduled backups and alerts you if they haven’t run in a while, plus you can mount your backups to local paths to inspect their contents and extract data selectively.

Dunno if the same is possible with restic, but there are also GUIs for that, for sure.

Enjoy!

Folks, get regular Google Takeouts (you can schedule them) and back them up using something like Vorta + borgbase.com

Mentour Pilot

Not sure it fits the niche definition, maybe not by subs count, but by topic I’d say it does.

Hocus pocus

We need a clone for that site, maybe find a way to torrent all those apks. Right now that’s a single point of failure, and it’s not like they OWN that content, right?

My hopes for RISC V are higher than I like to admit.

I really hope it goes mainstream and gives us ARM benefits with the open nature awesomeness
