You might also be surprised to know that increasing your payments a little can shave off a lot of interest. Paying 10% extra on your payments saves you about $100k of interest on your $500k loan at 5%, and pays it off about 5 years earlier.
Made up spellings are bad, but good luck searching for anything that isn’t a made up spelling or two words put together.
I think versioning is the better option.
are you writing about losing the backUp drive?
No, losing your main version. Imagine you have a computer with syncthing and a server where it syncs to. If you chose no deletions, then it will sync all files to the server but all the stuff you deleted (draft documents, random files, photos from that time your kid held the camera button on your phone down and took 3000 photos in 30 seconds) will be deleted from your computer but still there on your server.
When you computer gets struck by lightning and everything is destroyed but the server is fine, now you have to re-sort out all your files because all the stuff you deleted is still on the server version.
Your suggestion of enabling the option to keep previous versions is probably cleaner. Personally I prefer to keep previous versions and deduplicate to save space.
Yes, if you go with something like syncthing, have it also sync to a server where you run borg backup so you get the incremental backup.
Yip you can do that but then it’s messy! And what if you overwrite a file by accident?
And if you do lose your hard drive then you have a weird state to restore from.
I’d much prefer the ability to restore to a point in time that comes with something like borg.
Remember sync isn’t a good backup. You’re thinking of loss of drives but if this is important data you need to also consider mistakes.
If you accidentally delete files you shouldn’t, you don’t want this deletion to sync to all your copies so it’s gone for good and the backup doesn’t help.
Personally I use borgmatic to keep incremental, deduplicated backups. Then I can go back to previous states.
If you install nextcloud all in one, it comes with a backup solution (also borg based). Then devices don’t need a copy of every file. But you’ll want your server to have a backup drive for this.
I then sync my borg backup to a backblaze b2 bucket for offsite, encrypted backup using rclone. That then meets the 3 2 1 backup plan.
I notice you mention Jellyfin. I don’t back up my Jellyfin media, the cloud storage for that could get very expensive and I could get it again if I needed it.
I think PieFed has only recently got an API for apps to connect to, hence the surge.
Why? The hot dogs didn’t become a taco until it was sliced. Before that it was toast.
It clearly does. I point you to number 3, tacos, in the original link. Where it classifies “Slice if pie” as a taco. Clearly being sliced gives it it’s class.
This is also true of hot dogs, where if you didn’t slice the bun it would be class 1.
In New Zealand it’s pretty common to have a midwinter Christmas, even if you have never lived in the Northern Hemisphere. Not that everyone or almost everyone would do it, but in my experience most people would have at least heard of the concept (and I know people who do it most years, and others that do it occasionally).
This is in addition to, not instead of the normal summer Christmas.
Their point is that (as per relatively), all movement is relative to something. So if the earth moved away then you must be measuring in relation to some other reference point. There is no absolute positioning system. So when you say the earth is moving, what is it moving in relation to? And why did you pick that reference point instead of having a time machine that uses earth itself as a reference point?
I cook cut off a part of myself and sous vide it at my body temp and it would cook and be edible.
Can you really? Your internal body temp? Around 37C or under 100F? I can’t find any sous vide recipes that low. I can’t find anything under 50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.
I am not aware on any on device ones that aren’t tied to a service (e.g. Ente does it on device because of E2E encryption meaning they can’t do it on the server) but I think you need an account or to self-host the service.
There are options (other than ente) if you can self host, but (other than ente) the server will be doing the processing.
No problem! I’ve used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.
Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.
So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!
I ran it on an original Raspberry Pi B which has the same RAM and a slower CPU than the original Zero! It was still in use as a Pi-hole (running the DietPi OS) until recently where it seems to be dying or not keeping up.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard strimmer, though it does seem to be a thing when I search it up. I would say Weed eater, weed whacker, or line trimmer.
My Organic Maps doesn’t have traffic (or doesn’t for my area). I can’t see anything about it online either, except discussions about how it could be implemented.
Where do you find the traffic info? Even if zoomed in to New York I see nothing.
The back calls it “Tasty cheddar cheese”:
Other types of cheese are available, it’s just that cheddar is not clearly labeled as such since it’s kind of the “default”.
E.g.
That works, but I don’t know if “better” is the right word. If you have the same amount offset or paid off, it’s the same outcome. The only difference is if you offset then you can spend it - for better or for worse.
You could also bump your payments up and use an offset account for any extra.
