I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there's not a lot of differences really. If you're happy with Borg keep with it.
This doesn't really seem like a new problem. It wasn't so long ago that most news was disseminated in text form which has been easily faked forever. The solution should be improving the ways of verifying the information we receive. I guess the main difference now is most people would see a video on social media and believe it. 20-25 years ago I was taught not to believe everything you read online and that hasn't changed.
Its the area of a town that has all the retail shops. A lot of towns have a road literally called High Street but the term is generalised to mean the main retail area of a town. Typically smaller shops in the town centre rather than out of town shopping centres and retail parks with larger stores and dedicated car parking
Your tap water is expensive! Is that a typical rate? Its $551 for me for the 5l/hr for 5 years. $0.0075 per gallon.
This is in UK. Its billed at £1.98/1000l.
Yeah, I think they were too niche, my point was that I was able to find answers for everything else before I had to resort to posting a question. One example was I had found a JS bug in Safari and was seeking a workaround. All I got was a couple of comments agreeing and then one a year later saying it was now fixed in the latest version.
I fell for it once, high school friend, seemed like a reasonable idea, I was early in my career and looking for experience. I did learn a lot but ultimately the business failed before it started and I got paid a few 100 for nearly as many hours work.
Totally agree, it's not just toxic either. I don't find it useful anymore. My account is from the first 6 months of the site's existence, opened in early 2009. I still get upvotes on questions I asked back then.
For the past several years though it's been a last resort for me to post something there, and nothing I've posted in the past 5 years even has a single answer on it. They've not been closed as duplicates or anything, just no answers.
I go chatgpt now, it's often wrong with those kinds of questions but usually gets me close enough to fix my issue.
Probably half the offices I've worked at had no AC at all. One job I had moved to a new building that didn't have AC, they spent a fortune installing it, then were required to remove it when they vacated the building a few years later.
Yeah, this is a pretty nothing story. Seems like it is just trying to generate outrage. I wonder if all this could be solved by the government simply buying 650 residences in London and assigning them to sitting MPs while covering all the bills and maintainancne on those properties but it would probably be much more expensive
I exclusively use CLI, it's not ego at all, I simply find typing what I want to be quicker than clicking buttons. I've written a bunch of aliases to automate my common workflows.
When I need to help a colleague who's made a mess of something, I can easily give them the command to fix it rather than finding the right options in their GUI of choice and it's often because of some broken abstraction in the GUI they got into the mess in the first place.
It would quickly get very annoying because one of those essential cookies is remembering that you rejected the rest.
The law doesn't actually mention cookies at all. Its about tracking users, they need your explicit consent to track you or to share data about you with third parties. Cookies are the primary way of doing this but there are others and they need your consent too.
You've never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.
That said, many of our clients still don't support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can't even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.
A client paid us for a bespoke platform for managing invoice payments. Probably 20 man years sunk into it, they wanted to sell it to their customers but no one wanted it. They've just given up trying and axed it.
I thought colo was your hardware in someone else's data center.
For me though a VPS is still self hosting because you own your applications data and have control over it.
You're less beholden to the whims of a company to change the software or cut you off. With appropriate backups you should be able to move to a new cloud provider fairly easily.
I've been using silverbullet.md
Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you're after.
