What do you mean?

This was also the most compelling reason for me to consider it.

I do think that balanced against the time and effort and risk of me fucking up outweighs this benefit. But I can totally see why for some that balance goes the other way.

Thanks that's a helpful reply

Thanks, I did consider the syncing would be fine. But if the reason to do it is just hobbying then I'll pass, I have too many hobbies at this point and managing what I'm already hosting is giving me enough of a scratch for that itch

Yeah I will likely move away.

My understanding with lastpass was that they had a breach but only encrypted data was stolen? What did I miss?

I wish this worked, but it only does for things that are popular.

As it stands I think I'm just going to have to back up my entire media collection for fear of not being able to get a copy during retirement - when I plan to watch a shit tonne of TV.

No downvotes recorded my end. Maybe they miss-pressed? I fat finger the votes all the time.

I think that's fair. Comets don't appear to move across the sky unless you're observing for a long time...and anyone observing for that long needs a more complex diagram.

Yes. Yes it was.

Ah very interesting, and yes theoretically I believe. Some people are experimenting with other gases due to the price and low availability of Helium.

Rebreathers are becoming a lot more accessible these days and so are making dives much cheaper, but they're still $20k so it takes a while to recoup the cost.

At a stretch perhaps, but it's more recreational - I liken it to going to visit a castle, or going on a safari.....just underwater!

Most welcome! I can talk endlessly about diving so welcome the question.

I added an edit with some more information incase you're more curious.

Reducing the amount of narcotic gases in your mix so you don't act like a drunk idiot when in a life threatening situation.

Those narcotic gases are nitrogen and oxygen (although there's only so little oxygen you can have....and also only so much!)

Edit: extra info: oxygen and nitrogen are narcotic at depth, nitrogen is better understood and so often we talk about nitrogen narcosis, which tends to start hitting people after about 30m, but each person reacts different and to different degrees at different deaths. I personally notice it at about 50m or so. If I was more relaxed while diving it'd probably hit me sooner.

As a software person i have to protest at being called out like this. It's the fucking weekend man...stop picking on me for just one damn day.

Perspective my dude. An insignificant small amount is spent on vanity.

I've used more helium on a single dive than I've ever used in balloons in my entire life.

I mean it is expensive, it's just the amount required for a balloon is insignificant and thus seems cheap.

As a diver who uses helium I can tell you it is, compared to air, so much more expensive they actually charge me for it (rather than just rolled into the cost of a dive) - to the sum of about $300 a dive - depending on depth.

Ok I'm probably just a simpleton who doesn't get it...but is this comic really suggesting that HTML5 I'd a negative thing, and worse, is the drumbeat of a tyrannical web?

I mean really....HTML5 is one of the best things to happen to the Web and the W3C is imo the essential glue holding things together.

Browser inconsistencies are so few and far between now it makes building an inclusive Web much easier, you can almost do it by accident.

Have you re-read your earlier message yet? People in glass houses....

I use a spell checker in my IDE. It would catch this.
