A group of friends use this every weekend to play party games (Like jackbox games). One person streams and everyone uses a browser to interact.

If I want to show a friend a new game, I use it as well.

And the situation where I need to restore more then 8tb would be when I lost all my original data, and the backup NAS itself.

If that happens I’m not worrying about spending $280.

I’m not sure about the iscsi protocol. They allow VMs, including harddrives via USB, so the point of doing this making it more expensive does not apply considering someone could just hook up 100tb+ of USB drives and still be clear under the TOS.

If they did have a problem with this I would just do that instead.

I use the unlimited consumer backblaze with private key on a windows VM. I provision a 40tb iscsi connection to the VM from a NAS and all kinds of various homelab systems and devices store thier backups there. Works great and is the cheapest possible option at $9 a month.

Good stuff appreciate all the info. I’m definitely a person that struggles with getting to sleep.

For my laptop I use redshift as soon as the evening comes on and it is very nice, which is what I was thinking when I saw you in these. Same thing but for reality haha

That was my first reaction too. I want them lol

For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

Seconding Connect for filters, it was early to the game on this. I use keyword filters like ‘elon’ and ‘trump’ as well as instance filters and it’s been great for curating a non rage inducing Lemmy experience.

Common in Quebec for sure.

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Saw my first episode the other day with Conan and now I’m hooked on all these hot ones videos.

They have so many good personalities on there, watched the one with Elijah Wood last night and it was great

I got my first job with AIX in the early 2000’s after the previous admin did a reinstall of the OS vs an upgrade on prod, with unverified backups. It was a resume generating event.

They lost over 3 months of data and barely survived it.

I actually have a death date. It helps a lot with being able to plan my life and live in a way where I’ll be happy with my life if I were to die tommorow.

If I reach that date then great, anything after I just consider a bonus lol

Especially if its a system that you have told management needs to be replaced but they aren’t interested in spending the money…

Not only that, but it’s no longer your problem when its in the cloud. You can blame the cloud for everything!
