Near the peak of the NFT craze I was gifted (as part of an initial mint) an NFT, which I turned around and immediately sold for $3k. Last I looked it was worth about $200. That's the extent of my experience with NFTs.

Don’t look at Backblaze drive reports then. WD is pretty much all good, Seagate has some good models that are comparable to WD, but they have some absolutely unforgivable ones as well.

Not every Seagate drive is bad, but nearly every chronically unreliable drive in their reports is a Seagate.

Personally, I’ve managed hundreds of drives in the last couple of decades. I won’t touch Seagate anymore due to their inconsistent reliability from model to model (and when it’s bad, it’s bad).

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it.

That's exactly what it does. I got the prompt on my system, I said no, and it said ok and everything proceeded on like normal.

I believe it.

  1. Install Windows 11 on your old Windows 10 machine
  2. Discover that between the bloat, spyware, and default settings that keep resetting themselves, it's basically unusable now
  3. Wipe the drive and install Linux in its place
  4. Your system is now 3x faster than it was with Windows 10

I've always wondered - and figured here is a good a place to ask as anywhere else - what's the advantage of object storage vs just keeping your data on a normal filesystem?

Fun fact, Edge still has this stupid behavior even on Linux, so highlight and middle click doesn't work properly since as soon as you highlight it pops up that stupid menu. You have to go into the menu and disable it before highlighting works correctly again.

Signed - someone who is fortunate enough to be able to use Linux on my work machine (yay!) but is still forced to use Edge on it (boo!)

I agree option 1 is the correct choice, though it does appear they are slowly going that direction…

Really? Because every new Windows version is even worse than the one before it. There are now 3? 4? different places to change network settings, but only one of them actually works correctly, if you modify the wrong one it will act like it worked but will silently break all networking on the machine instead.

If they can charge 30% less without Apple's fees, then why are their prices the same whether you buy on their iOS app or direct on their website? Why have they been overcharging users who don't buy through the iOS app by 30% all this time?

Just FYI - you're going to spend far, FAR more time and effort reading release notes and manually upgrading containers than you will letting them run :latest and auto-update and fixing the occasional thing when it breaks. Like, it's not even remotely close.

Pinning major versions for certain containers that need specific versions makes sense, or containers that regularly have breaking changes that require you to take steps to upgrade, or absolute mission-critical services that can't handle a little downtime with a failed update a couple times a decade, but for everything else it's a waste of time.

How about Dawarich?

https://github.com/Freika/dawarich

I haven't used it myself, but I have it in the backlog of things to try out

To be fair, I don't know either. I mean he's supposed to, and he swore an oath to, but if nobody is going to enforce that then must he really? What happens if/when he doesn't?

Yeah that's about 2 and a half round-trips between Dallas and Houston, that's...not a lot to be calling this thing ready to go and pulling out the safety drivers.

I wonder how these handle accidents, traffic stops, bad lane markings from road construction, mechanical failure, bad weather (heavy rain making it difficult/impossible to see lane markings), etc.

You'd think they would be keeping the safety drivers in place for at least 6+ months of regular long-haul drives and upwards of 100k miles to cover all bases.
