Your general backup strategy should follow something like doing full/incremental and/or snapshot based backups. So in the case of your media, if you do a daily snapshot then your daily backups would be very small. And if the med

There is a really good reason for stopping fully at a stop sign. If your speed and that of the cross traffic vehicle is matched appropriately, the vehicle will occupy the same position (remain stationary) in your field of view. That can c

My line of logic is that there are two types of investments. The first type is where you buy something that you hope to be able to sell for more down the road. So things like gold and bitcoin come to mind. You buy an ounce of gold today,

I would think that a cheaper (or multiple cheaper) versions could be made if they don't require the long lifespan and reliability that previous launch costs inflicted. Once Starship is going, and if it proves to be as low cost as the

The house I recently bought has a rhubarb patch, and I recall a neighbor making rhubarb pie many years ago when I was a kid. So I looked up some random recipes, kind of simplified to what I had on hand and it came out better than any store

You can do this through taxes. Right now there are tax breaks on green options. In the future have an increasing tax penalty on non-green options.

One hack I've seen is to have a box that sits inside your room with one end butted up against the window screen, and a regular air conditioner that is mounted on the other side of the box. The screen-end of the box would have 4 fans,

I wonder if instead of asking for a higher raise, if there is better luck asking for a promotion. A promotion can typically be justified as getting an additional 10 - 15% bump in pay on top of the last merit increase, and can happen at any

The best I've seen is having a salary range for each grade level. At a large company I worked at during the late 90's to mid 2000's, I was hired in as an "E5". Raises above and beyond cost of living increases woul

For tax brackets, I like the bucket of ping pong balls analogy. After filling up each bucket you color a percentage of the balls green (done on the whiteboard of course), which represents the government's cut. When a bucket gets full

I can definitely get on board with that sentiment. A number of years ago I was all set to join a Hackerspace in my area, but for two things. One was the monthly dues, $50 a month. I was already budgeting out to the last dollar of income,

I just looked at Rotary Club dues, $36 for 6 months (6 bucks a month). Doesn't seem too bad. For interest-based groups, I'm constantly seeing large bicycle groups cruising around, so such groups do exist (at least that is one tha

At least many areas have monotony laws in their building codes. The development where I bought my previous house from had accidentally sold two of the same house styles next to each other, so they ended up giving one of the buyers a free e

Also take a look at their principal sponsors list. It includes AWS and Google cloud. They would both have an invested interest in keeping a supported free RHEL clone around.

Personally the reason I use a RHEL based distro on servers is due to third party tools that target RHEL, and also I am heavily invested in a personal knowledge base on the RHEL specifics such as how they implement SElinux, etc. Therefore I

I'm actually surprised by the number of people I work with that only work off their company-issued laptop (when remote). For myself, I've always had a dedicated office space. But when I went full WFH after a couple weeks my back

Something I haven't seen discussed is what would have happened if the initial shots went to the 20-35 year old crowd (the ones that are out and about, partying, and have a number of super spreaders in that cohort)? Would that have don

The problem is that the a large chunk of the population aren't scientist so they don't understand the principles of the scientific method. And they aren't software developers, they don't have the mindset for it. And ha

I was in school in the 70s - 80s. The first time having kids come home from school and needing help with their math homework was a real shocker. Back when I was in school, you "carried" and "borrowed" when doing addigi

The main thing against specific weeds is that they spread easily and infest other areas. If your neighbors don't want flowers in their grass, but restricted to flower beds, then they will respond by using more weed killer on their law

Two things to look at are (1) are they being paid as a junior? And (2) don't look at their performance at any specific point in time, but look for improvements. It's also possible for and employee to get stuck in a rut at a job,

But the businesses will still need a presence in the countries in which they want to do business (or at least it is easier to do so -- that is how US companies get caught up in needing to comply with things like GDPR or whatnot). So the AM

Question -- I'm assuming most ISPs have something in their terms that prohibit a customer from sharing the connection. So with Amazon inducing a violation of customer terms of service, I wonder if ISPs will go after the customers, or

The government would still go after the tenant to potentially pay back the money that the gov fronted to the landlord (or a portion of it based on means testing). Then the tenant would have incentive to provide proof to the gov that those

So there was not concept of "theft of service" then? Or was that also not called theft, but something else similar to abstracting? I.e., if you walked out without paying the barber or something like that.

The problem isn't the 5 years. It is the fact that Stream will have packages more towards the leading edge and potentially have more bugs. Then, when a bug is found in a package, RHEL gets the patch first, but then the patch needs to

Because if you buy a $300k house and need to move 10 years later, and only sell it for $150k, you still have a big chunk of the loan to pay off.
