  • Back when Craigslist had personals ads I answered one saying that I had 10 laptop computers and no facebook account, and I actually got a couple of dates that way. Not everyone wants corporate media.

    I've been chatting (non romantically) with someone I met on another forum, who is about the same way. No facebook or reddit or anything, not even Lemmy, just a few niche forums.

  • This is datahoarder and cost per TB is always important. Also TLC and even worse, QLC SSD's have trouble with long term data retention even without a lot of writes. Not that HDD's are great either. Too bad there is no sane affordable tape storage.

  • I guess it's a question of how much hassle it's worth. I did a messy data recovery of a crashed database for a work client once, but it involved a lot of trial and error and writing special purpose code, plus considerable luck that some things worked better than I had a right to expect. Cost of something like that would be in the multi kilobucks, maybe low 5 figures. We got almost all the data back, though not 100%.

    Maybe just put that HDD aside and replace it with a new one, and deal slowly with recovering the data as you get the time to mess with it. Also don't do any write operations on the old drive. Maybe copy it entirely to someplace and work on the copy. In fact better do that anyway, HD's physically crash all the time.

  • Gristedes is an expensive yuppie supermarket chain like Whole Foods, in some rich areas. I don't think they have to worry about some city-run stores in underserved neighborhoods. It's just pouting.

  • I'm not doubting all that stuff is great if Mamdami can make it happen. I'm skeptical that he can make it happen, based on having seen this kind of thing before. Heck, he hasn't even won the mayoral election yet. I'd give him 50% chance of becoming mayor, based on remembering Lieberman for Connecticut. As for the other stuff, it's all vague enough to make it easy to claim victory, at least based on what you've posted here. So I'd want to see definite success criteria based on measurable results.
