IBM fulfills a particular niche: when you need to have a contract with a company the will take the fall contractually. There are plenty of too-big-to-fail companies that at the end of the day don't care if the project succeeds, just th

If you want to backup just data, restic works very well; however, you're not backing up configurations or applications. Use HyperBackup. B2 S3-api is compatible.

Synology's implementation of BTRFS is rocksolid, in my experience. This guy [1] tried to break it and couldn't. [1] https://daltondur.st/syno_btrfs_1/

Rclone. It has multiple backends and you can chain them: encrypt -> cache locally for performance -> store on backend.

An important part of deniable encryption is that you can "provably" deny data isn't there when it is. You want the authorities to agree that when you unlock your volume they see "all" of your data so they don'

The fix is actually simple: shoot at a light bulb. It will think you always hit. I figured this out accidentally as a kid one day when I was randomly firing around the room and hit a duck.

There are plenty of ways to port out of COBOL, none will work. I once interviewed for a COBOL position. It was a typical large financial institution. It was a lead position that wanted a migration plan out and then would lead to a team fo

TLDR; Big reason is policing is going to get a lot more invasive; however, I have found the very positive reflection that my in-house services are far more reliable. I have the advantage that I am a programmer, so I can deal with a bit of r

When I started my home automation, I wanted as little frustration as possible. I knew that you just can't rely on companies, so I ensured everything is controlled in-house. Use ZigBee. ZigBee devices create their own mesh network, so

B2 was designed for backup storage, not being a fake hard drive. Even if it was, you would have a far better solution for dealing with latency and your data being in the clear if you would use `rclone`. Add the B2 storage backend, then a

A headless component is one that does not return anything for a render by default. It either accepts a prop function the does the render or passes values to its children and lets them render the results. This splits the functionality from

There are plenty of private currencies in the U.S [1]. Printing them and using them are just fine as along as A) you do not attempt to pass it off as Federal currency and B) you do not refused to accept renumeration in Federal currency (th

Earth already has this problem. Years aren't consistent both because the number of rotations don't evenly go into a single revolution, but also because Earth's rotation time is variable. For instance, above normal fresh wat

The term splitting an atom seems like hitting a bunch of billiard balls to cause the atom to fly apart. What really happens is you want the atom to absorb the neutron and its kinetic energy so as to make the atom's energy higher than

I don't think this exactly the same. The "no one got fired for choosing IBM" was a derogatory statement. It wasn't uncommon that you got some significant discount for related products and so businesses would have a bla

Simply put: putting anything you can't replace into checked luggage is foolish. The TSA is a lot more likely to steal your stuff than some random person with a printed key. Plus, if you use a real lock, they have the right to clip it

My two cents is that there is no reason to _use_ Glacier as a backup strategy. Glacier's cost come for restoration: the more you restore and the faster you want to restore it, the more quickly costs rise. It's far better suited
