“No, it’s a regular person.”

I’m speechless. I know the training draws a line between the police and everyone else, but for it to be right there in print, from someone high up the hierarchy…I’m stunned that they could be so callous with a life.

It really is “us versus them,” isn’t it?

Wait, what the heck is BeReal? I’ve never heard of it before?

Does that mean I’m old now?

I upvoted you because I don’t award contracts, so I have no idea if that’s common practice but I hope your comment gets some visibility and discussion. It’s quite interesting to think about the value of our time or effort and how maximizing those isn’t a bribe, it’s just common sense.

Huh? AppleTalk was, according to the headline, discontinued in 2009 if that’s the useless feature you mean. It wasn’t useless before that, but eventually TCP/IP overtook it and it was no longer practical to run two networking stacks side by side. It is very similar to Microsoft’s extensive use of IPX/SPX up through Windows XP (IIRC XP was the last to include it).

Apple certainly has its flaws, including a bug I reported many years ago in Photos that makes it useless to me, but them discontinuing an aging network protocol nearly 25 years ago seems like a weird thing for you to be upset about, so maybe I misunderstood your post.

Where does Papa John’s sit in your rankings?

I haven’t had Little Caesar’s in a long time, but Papa John and Domino’s are both pretty solid options, and I like your term calling them “fast food pizza.”

Also what is the reason not to use the mariadb tool provided by borg?

I don’t know what tool you mean and can’t find any references online. I do see that Borgmatic allows hooks to run a program like mysqldump before a backup run, but it’s neither part of Borg itself nor has anything to do with streaming data, so I’m still confused about what tool you’ve found.

The advice you’ve gotten is good and it’s what I do. A cron job runs mysqldump, a different cron job runs borg, and I do error checking on both of those as well as occasional test restores.
