Someone check in with any step relatives he has, this smacks of projection

I use thiscomputer.info

It’s just text. It shows a bit more than just your IP. And it’s easy to remember.

Give it another week or so and it’ll be a billion dollars worth.

Yeah I guess it probably makes more sense when it’s my business… Maybe not if you’re an employee at some corporate randomly hosting backups of your dog photos.

I have a 120TB unraid server at home, and a 40TB unraid server at work. Both use 2 x parity disks.

The critical work stuff backs up to home, and the critical home stuff backs up to work.

The media is disposable.

Both servers then back up to Crashplan on separate accounts - work uses the Australian server on a business account, home used the US server on a personal account.

I figure I should be safe unless Australia and the US are nuked simultaneously… At which point my data integrity is probably not the most pressing issue.

Who cares why they did it?

It proves they can and do alter the “archived” website, so it’s usefulness as a source is completely gone.

My Facebook feed looks nothing like that, nor most of the (exaggerated?) complaints in the replies.

Mine is full of content from people I know, local community groups, and pages I follow.

If I scroll long enough to run out of actual local/ subscribed content it will start feeding me other stuff, but it’s usually at least somewhat relevant. If it’s not I just hit the X to say not interested and usually take the opportunity to get off the damn thing for a while.

Facebook does a lot of stupid crap but these sort of lazy observations smack of some nerd pandering to the cool kids about how lame their parents are to get some acceptance or something equality as cringe.

A million is a pretty low bar.

If we could get a Billion in place would be a great start.

I’d like some specific examples of what you originally described please, not just a general “China makes everything” as if that proves anything.

China makes everything because Western companies sought to maximise profit.

Costs go up, because the Western companies selling the Chinese-made product put the price up to maximise profit.

You don’t get to outsource everything and charge top dollar for it, then cry to the government that you need protection when the Chinese companies start competing in the same market with the same product for cheaper.

Where has this happened?

How many TSLA shares are you holding?

Well, that’s all my questions answered. Good work comments team.

Feels like this is the sort of important information OP should have included in their post.

Lots of risk for no financial gain, they should have taken something worth money at least.

I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.

I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).

It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.

Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.

I didn’t pirate for years when Netflix was the bomb. Then it all started going to poop but I kept the subscription running while I sailed the seven seas with the thought that it was just a little bit of a reduced library, it’s still good. It’s just a heap of shows cancelled after one season and even more content missing, it’s still good. But after a few years I had to accept that like a pig soaring over a dam, it was gone. So now no one gets my money.

Except my ISP, private indexers, a VPN company, and various hard drive manufacturers I guess.
