Ah yes. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Yeah I'd consider that as a used phone. I'd only get the hardware from the OEM and install GrapheneOS myself. Less chance of man in the middle. It's super easy to install using the web installer.

I think this is incorrect but I could be wrong.

You can not buy a Pixel device preloaded with GrapheneOS. They only come from Google with their standard Android and it's up to the end user to install GrapheneOS. Unless you buy a used Pixel device with GrapheneOS already installed.

That woman is batshit crazy and needs to get out of politics ASAP.

We can't buy Chinese EV's in Canada thanks to the 100% tariff imposed by the GoC. I wish they'd get rid of the tariff. Our cheapest EV option right now is the Fiat 500e and that starts at over $30,000.

We as humans have only ourselves to blame for these wildfires. We're pushing this planet to it's limits and it's only going to keep getting worse.

Keep up the great work Francesca!!

I used to back everything up before I broke the 50TB mark. Just can't justify it now. I even looked at LTO drives for backing up the multimedia but they're still to expensive for the higher capacity drives. And then you need tapes..

All the truely good content will always be out there somewhere on the net.

The script I use to generate the file lists is very very basic. Nothing special no formatting the lists or anything since it's just for that oh balls, everything is gone scenario.

ls -alR /mnt/volume1/media > /mnt/volume2/backups/file_lists/media.txt

ls -alR /mnt/snapraid/data* > /mnt/volume2/backups/file_lists/snapraid.txt

Those text files are also part of the files backed up with PBS so I can always go back and restore previous versions of them. You may ask why I generate the list twice? The first is just everything inside the media folder on the volume1 mount point. The second let's me see what files are on each individual drive so if only 1 drive dies I can just grep the text file and output to another text file and show me what is on that 1 drive.

Ah yes. My storage system is 2 x Supermicro CSE-846 cases. Only one has a CPU and motherboard, the other is acting as a plain Jane JBOD.

Hard drives I have 21 x 8TB 7200RPM mix of Seagate and Western Digital and 4 x 16TB 7200RPM from Seagate. I use mergerfs and snapraid. Mergerfs presents all the 21 8TB drives as one mount point. Snapraid uses the 4 16TB drives to provide 4 parity drives. Note that snapraid is not live and the parity is only updated after running a "snapraid sync" which I run nightly.

I only backup my songs and music videos. The rest is easy to get again. I have a script that generates a list of every single file I have each night. So if the day comes it wouldn't take too long to get back to where I was. The other reason I use mergerfs is if 1 drive dies, I only lose the files on that one drive and not the entire array. The truely important stuff such as tax documents, mortgage details, family pictures, will & estate documents are stored on a 2 x 8TB RAID1 and all backed up nice a safe using Proxmox PBS. The PBS datastore is synced to 2 remote locations as well as to external drives that I keep offline and rotate.

My Jellyfin library:

1,152 - Movies

552 - Shows

37, 062 - Episodes

491 - Albums

6,558 - Songs

362 - Music Videos

14 - Concert Films

Files are a mix of 1080p and 4K. 264 and 265. Standard and REMUX.

Total space used is currently 149.90TiB

I really hope GardaWorld has all GoC and other levels of government contracts cancelled and they get blacklisted. But that would be the right thing to do so I doubt it will happen.

That bitch needs to get the hell out of office. Between her being pretty much against wind/solar/other green energy and what she's done to AHS. She needs to go!

I'm glad I was able to do my part for the planet thanks to the federal Greener Homes Grant and Loan. I installed 30 solar panels on my house and garage. 6 months(sometimes 7, depends on snow being on panels or not) out of the year ENMAX owes me money for feeding power to the grid, which ends up dropping my overall bill for the 4 services (power, natural gas, water, and waste/recycling) to under $150. Sometimes even under $100 depending how often the central air runs.
