Yes. So it’s mass transport.

That should recover. A sneaky cat will systemctl reboot --firmware-setup.

Or just run a cpuburn to ensure that temperatures will stay at cat levels.

Me neither. But now I might know one more line of https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/kingcrimson/theworldsmyoystersoupkitchenfloorwaxmuseum.html

Sometime after law had been restored.

I thought it was a bit.

And since it’s corporate property, you can just bill for damage and replacement and maintenance and don’t need to deal with human issues.

Yeah. It’s not required, but it helps.

And they love boxes.

Well, that’s fine since it isn’t 1982 anymore. Right?

https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ is nice for running a regular manual or automated Borg backup.

https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/PikaBackup/ is also pretty neat if you want to clicky backup data as a user.

Both are common in package repos. And there’s probably even more, but I’ll mention those two just to point out that you don’t have to script the raw Borg if you don’t want to.

Just about anything is going to be safer than hot oily particle smoke in your mouth, throat and lungs. You could hardly make the bar lower for that statement.

I’m at single digit TBs and dreading that a drive breaks and I need a new one. Not that I have a lot of free space either.

Passive digital data is in fact the only thing that can be perfectly preserved as long as a sufficient number of copies exist and are replicated before the media rots.

Along with backups, keep checksums and check for bit rot regularly! Also make sure that recovery works by testing.

That’s kind of the defining feature of spam. Not thinking if it’s appropriate or good, just sending everywhere because some of it will generate clicks.

“Just delete it” or “scroll past” is not a useful response. Spam is infinite unless it’s blocked and/or punishable.

The pointlessness.

All we can do, Scully, is pull the thread, see what it unravels.
