I back up to local storage and then replicate offsite to S3 nightly.

On-prem backups are great and cheap and fast and definitely plan A but a robust backup solution is going to require offsite storage of some sort. Object storage is one of the cheapest ways to do that for most situations, particularly for things that can’t be replaced like photos.

Backblaze B2 is about $7 a month per TB.

Almost every major backup solution natively supports S3 compatible storage.

Flashing the same version of the BIOS just to feel something, anything.

This looks like someone was afraid they might accidentally cook something.

You wouldn’t even need AI to replace me in meetings. Just a ‘while’ loop maybe.

True but it does put me in a good position to maximize my kill/death ratio.

I weirdly really want more realistic bug games too. I’m disappointed how many games with spider enemies make them behave so strangely where they basically roar and swipe at you like a giant feral cat.

I was paying for Google music until they took it away from me and told me it was Youtube Premium and then raised the price twice.

Not exactly what I’d call a great value proposition.
