In Kramer voice: Oh, I backup.

On a RAID.

Backed up nightly to Backblaze in US and OVH in Germany. Recovery exercise once every year.

Backed up every 6 months to offline storage, for worm protection.

It takes an asteroid killer before I’m at risk.

I hope.

    Self hosting email is horrid. Well self hosting email is not that hard now with Stalwart and other servers in a box exist. But getting your email accepted by any remote server require a fair amount of work.

    The best alternative I have found to Gmail is Fastmail. They now offer EU hosting. Proton would have been an option too but they’re losing the plot.

    Fastmail is genuinely the best web client I’ve come across. I have to use Gmail for work so I know it well and compared to Fastmail it’s basically Slowmail.

    It clearly is a bubble. But that doesn’t automatically mean AI is useless. The .com bubble was the biggest of them all, but lots of companies survived and business largely moved online. The data centres (which nobody likes but which is clearly providing some value to somebody, whether we like it or not) don’t disappear overnight if the bubble bursts.

    Since manufacturers have swapped out spare wheels for tyre emergency kits, I’ve had three punctures. I’ve never gotten a foam repair kit to actually work. 3 attempts, 3 failures.

    Has anyone actually got a success story with a foam repair kit?

    I’ve bought a spare slim emergency wheel and put it in the wheel well now. Simply cannot be bothered trying and failing with another reinflation foam kit next time a flat tyre occurs.
