You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

It all was fun! :)

My pricing experience is from Europe so that could be a different approach to their markets.

Good luck!

Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law “didn’t get around” to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

That said: I’m quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage (“we give a quote after first analysis”).

Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that’s not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.

I’d expand it to director plus or similar, i.e. for people who lead other people with personell responsibilities it starts making sense to have three rounds imo.

That said I share your gist!

As they are closed source no one can tell you their true privacy policy. It seems better than average from what I’ve read but you never know…

Personally I use logseq and sync the files via a Nextcloud instance. I can only recommend it, although I also recommend spending an hour to learn the tagging and linking logic and reading through their guide on what’s possible. I still only leverage a minor part of the potential myself.

One that is closer to onenote (I think, never used onenote) is Joplin.

Yeah I had a brainfart, meant namespace…

And thanks a lot for this writeup I think with your help I figured out where I went wrong in my train of thought and I’ll give it another try next week when I have a bit downtime.

The time you took to write this is highly appreciated! ♥

Do you have a link at hand on how start a process within a specific veth by chance? Own name spaces are easy enough and a lot of tutorials but I don’t want my programs to ever be not in the vpn space, not at startup not as fail over etc.

That’s the reason why I stuck with the container setup, only for gluetun plus vpned services.

This comment is so wild to my non US eyes. I had to convert the sqft you gave because I missremembered. Friends of mine are family with two kids and live in a bit more than half that space (80m2) - and are not the exception from what I know.

To see 130m2 “too small for the family” is really weird and I’d love to see/understand where the differences come from. I guess that even how the space is calculated might have an impact. Really fascinating!

Thanks for sharing!

Too bad that some of those are quite certainly made up. At least for the Voltaire one I even have a very in depth source:

Doesn’t take away the fun for me though - thank you for the collection!

It literally is!

But that’s not what OP asked / wanted to dicuss? The person you’re attacking simply answered the original question:

“would it be a danger to the whole of humanity or our evolutionary progress?”

While I think the data alignes with your observation and your interpretation of the risks are on point it deviates from the point the person you answered to.

Arr my friend, there are solutions to your problem! If course it depends on what you (don’t) see as theft.

My opinion: it isn’t. If you want only this one thing then I suggest the manual approach. But if you once tasted the high seas you’ll soon become your own tech specialist, running a whole… Stack of arr.

And to be less subtle: torrent that shit. Use a vpn. If you want to ramp it up check out the arr stack aka servarr aka a way to automate the whole download and consume thing. There’s a learning curve involved but learning is fun! :)

Gib dem doch noch mal ein paar Jahre! Bei keinem Trend ist Deutschland schnell dabei, warum sollte es hier anders sein?

Nah, too focused and not enough repetition and generalizations ;)

Main reason for answering: thanks!

Is there anything to support this? I couldn’t find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren’t the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the “u” part… How naive at least I was back then!).

I’m not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as “they wanted everything to connect” - the printer in the same way as that PDA… Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.

Edit: some sentences didn’t make even less sense, fixed.

Cups

linux printing server - if you want to share a printer over network or just use one locally on a linux machine.

(not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

Two more things to add: you get downvoted not for the content but for the tone. People tend to not respond well to abuse, even if verbal - and at least I read a “make this shit work for me” in between your lines.

And more important: what you are asking is not easy. Wouldn’t be on windows, wouldn’t be on macos (disclaimer: I’ve never set up the arr stack on either but docker runtimes) . You are diving into server software no matter if you’re the only user or not. Either you accept this and the learning curve ahead of you or you give up on it.

Not sure how to do spoilers so I stay vague l:

Herbert picked up the water topic in later books and showed what happened to the Fremen as well.

I agree that it was hope that was very clearly - in the beginning.

Thanks for the clarification! A wish you an awesome start into the week :)
