And what happens if your house burns down, or two drives from the same batch decide to die? This is only part of the solution - offsite backups is the second part, and ensuring you can restore those backups the third. I've got a home-b

UK resident here, and I'd like them to spend more money - especially as income tax is higher for a large cohort of the population than it was before the current admin took power, which coupled with the ruinous austerity cuts means that

The killer for me is that it's a full-fledged operating system, not just a kernel. Kernel and Userspace are developed, and packaged together, in the same repo.

That's ridiculous - that's 11am for them, well within their work day, but well outside yours. I'm lucky that we have a "We'll dial into meetings slightly earlier, if you can dial in slightly later" entente and

Truly, if you're drinking champagne, a small bottle isn't enough.

Not all - beat saber you're still, workrooms meetings you're still. Sim Racing, any game where you fly or run around - those are artificial locomotion and can definitely take some getting used to for some (not all) people.
