One of us!

That makes sense. They also pushed us to store everything on the cloud.

In university, they stopped giving out software licenses for personal machines in favor of letting students connect to virtual machines they hosted. They allocated 8GB of RAM which wasn’t horrible at the time, but they only allocated 4GB of storage. Only time I’ve ever seen that ratio.

There are only a few minimum algorithms you need to memorize to solve one. The real fun is learning more so you can solve it more efficiently/faster.

Really depends. Hospital wanted $500 up front before they’d do anything for my pregnant wife. Then bills after too.

Funny you mention it. This is exactly what I do. Don’t use the relay servers for syncthing, just my tailnet for device to device networking.

My most critical data is only ~2-3TB, including backups of all my documents and family photos, so I have a 4TB ssd attached which the pi also boots from. I have ~40TB of other Linux isos that have 2-drive redundancy, but no backups. If I lose those, i can always redownload.

For the delay, I just reduce how often it checks for new files instead of instantaneously.

Agreed. I have it configured on a delay and with multiple file versions. I also have another pi running rsnapshot (rsync tool).

Syncthing to a pi at my parents place.

This surely won’t be abused in any way \s

Lot of lore in that one

But isn’t Betty a womans name?

Damn nihilists!

Finally sexism is ended. Women should take note. All it takes is millions of dollars.

What’s the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

Got the talk at ~17, about 5-7 years too late.

This is what happens when you don’t scum save.

That’s what everyone says, but you really should just wait until next year comes around.

In line with other commenter’s posts about security, if you’re new then don’t expose anything to the internet. Tailscale is great way to access your data remotely instead and doesn’t require opening yourself up to the internet in mass.

As for hardware, budget will rule over all. If you’re looking for a quick and dirty backup solution, then a raspberry pi with a drive attached and running syncthing will be perfect for you (and easy to setup). Again all on your tailnet/tailscale.

If you have more budget, then your options explode. You can use a whole range of hardware, OSes and software. Regardless, start with one service you want to run and go from there. Sounds like that’s media and pictures for you (as it was for most of us here).
