I did a few workshops coding LEGO parts at around age 10. We did stuff like turning lights on- and off or measuring the temperature. Maybe a good place to start, as it connects to the real world. I imagine LEGO has more interesting parts th

Congrats and greetings to Munich. I know and helped a few people in similar situations. Here your rough priorities: 1. Invest most of the cash in a conservative way, so it lasts. That means stocks and some bonds to ride out downturns. You w

Yes, it's "relatively" easy. They had over-the-air delta updates with Android 10, but not for 11. Here my current steps for each ROM upgrade. Installation would be similar: - Connect USB - Boot in Fastboot: Press and hold Vol

My Gen1 Pixel is still going strong here. 2-3 days battery life with light use and monthly AOSP updates via Pixel Experience ROM. Hope to use it another 5 years.

Push notifications are categorized on Android. At least on 11. If the app also offers multiple categories, you can disable them selectively. A few apps use ‘General’ for everything, but not seeing this often.

Can confirm this. I offer some crypto options to pay for my service online. Not BTC because the transaction costs are too high, but Bitcoin Cash and the like. After about a year, only about 0.3% of checkouts were done with crypto. Even manu

Shoutout to the good folks at LineageOS[1] and PixelExperience[2]. They are really a key piece in extending the life of old, but perfectly working phones by keeping up with security updates in Android (but not in proprietary firmware). Gene

Right. And HSBC in particular has been downsizing outside of Asia and core markets for years now. So this move isn’t unexpected and not related to economic prospects.

Is there something comparable for the US market? I sometimes drop ship hard drives to my colo partners, but didn't find good comparison sites.

These guys[1] still publish updates of the AOSP code including security updates. So you would just miss firmware updates. 1: https://download.pixelexperience.org/sailfish

Looks good. Congrats on this release! How is memory usage compared to e.g. Transmission?

Yeah, don't delay your dreams until retirement. Your health and energy will be limited. At the same time, there is no need to spend money in a stupid way right now. Defaulting to a frugal mindset in most domains will buy more free time

Such a big question.. Here from least to most involved based on my experience: If you only need incorporation, accounting and taxes solved, you can just pay ~hourly. Price will depend on time spent. Budget more in the beginning to find a go

Wow! Thanks for the kind words and reference!! Much appreciated. :-)) Will PM for drinks and to link up. I still love how friendly everyone in IT and around backups specifically is. More international for sure. But with Covid last year and

BorgBase founder here. All correct what you found. I started the company from the US via YC startup school in 2018, but later decided to place myself in Europe again. Hence moving the incorporation to the EU made sense. My director is handl

There is also Borgmatic, which makes it easy to manage backup settings, do monitoring, directly dump databases and prune old archives with a single YAML file. https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ We also maintain an Ansible

Prices are fairly similar in this industry. So not much to decide. Early clients did push me to add a medium plan which turned out to be popular.

You can do it with S3 policies. But that's already at the application level. The question above was about the server level below that.

by m3nu 5y ago
If a storage server gets p0wned, the raw data could be deleted. That's true for every cloud provider. What's important, they still can't read the backup, since it's encrypted on the client. Storage servers are also iso

We use the same public version of Borg, so those limitations apply. It’s still quite workable. Just prune from a different machine or once a year when the repo gets too large. We may move to reject destructive commands from append-only repo

by m3nu 5y ago
Immutable backups are often overlooked. At borgbase.com, we call this “append-only” mode and the large majority of repositories uses it. With S3 (or similar) you would add some policies to disable deletions. So it’s usually doable, but nee

Haha. Same here. I started out hosting client backups in my parent's shoe cabinet. 10 years later it's a proper company with dozens of servers. (they now live in real data centers) Couldn't have done it without fooling around

Whatever is cheap and common, I'd say. If you plan to fool around with setting up Linux and maybe *BSD servers, you need hardware support for that. Home lab for me would be a place to build and run servers. I.e. basic tooling to assemb

I do think it was easier to develop a full understanding of how IT systems work a few decades ago. We played around with Windows 3.11, XP and early Linux distros, setting up networking, etc in the old days™. Nowadays the level of abstractio
