The FUCKING croissant tray.

Last drive I replaced was a consumer desktop drive that had been spinning in my server for 7 or 8 years. Get better drives than that and yeah, they’ll typically last a while.

Yeah, RAID is for uptime, or for speed (RAID0, RAID10), but defo have a backup.

Multiple.

One of them off-site.

In addition, having kids is a lot of work and takes energy and teamwork and sleepless nights. If you’re not doing great already, adding a pile of stress and exhaustion certainly isn’t going to help.

She puts money in trust to retire well and make sure her daughter is well taken care of.

If 260M isn’t going to let you and the rest of your family retire in absolute comfort, you have some really expensive hobbies. That’s a ridiculous amount of money.

That’s because they keep giving her back.

Ah, that. Yeah, I understand the sentiment, but of course that’s never going to happen. It’s not as if any of it is actually about the game for those people, anyway.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA.

UEFA is already a thing.

Not all hearing aids are cochlear implants or bone conducting types. There’s plenty that are basically an Airpod.

Source: am a user.

That is quite a big bridge! Nicely shot and edited, wonderfully moody picture.

Postermodernism, of course.

I find this interesting, because you have such a different shooting style than I have — I don’t think you ever really stood still for more than a second, it was more like you had somewhere to be and taking the pictures just happened to coincide with that.

Also, I personally wouldn’t be comfortable getting such close, in-their-face shots of people. Are they generally OK with it? What if they aren’t? How do you deal with all that? (Genuinely curious, I love the result).

Of course it helps that you’re walking around with a compact, not a full frame with some hefty lens sticking out, but still.

Either way, interesting video!

On the other hand, not livetweeting an event saves you both money and a lot of effort.

Are you sure you’re not just a deer or boar?

Ah, that could be it. And yeah, that’s a bit harder to solve, that stuff just takes time and effort and a bit of luck.

This better?

There’s other instances, and you can interact with subs on other instances just fine. That’s the whole point of activitypub. So if you really miss those subs, maybe see if they’re available on other instances?

That bird isn’t birding.

That photo shows a paper with all eligible representatives for all eligible parties for that election. We don’t have “hundreds of parties” (although we have, IMO, too many — but a fair few of them are splinter fractions on the right).

Don’t spread bullshit, please.

now that precompiled binaries for Linux systems are becoming more popular,

Uh, what do you think was in the repositories all these decades? They can contain just the source, but that’s not what most people use.

While the universal nature of SNAPS makes them useful, they will inherently take up a lot more space.

Ah, so you’re talking about those… Yeah, but for those types of packages, including all the dependencies is kind of the point, they’re meant to run on whatever distro where the packager has no influence in what libraries and other dependencies of their software is or.isn’t present. They also bolt on things like sandboxing, so it’s not entirely the same as the distro packages you get through your apt/dnf/zypper/etc.
