No, it wasn’t.
It was to speed access to data. Unless you have some evidence the researchers who work with electromechanics at the time were thinking “how can we replace humans”, rather than “how can we represent 80 columns of data electromechanically?”
No need for this nonsensical hyperbole.
Maybe, maybe not.
Solid objects aren’t always stronger, strangely enough. I’m no mechanical engineer, so I can’t explain it. I assume it has to do with how stress is tranferred.
Keep a journal.
I have a single journal for daily events, in excel of all things.
I have a title column, date, related to (Linux, Tailscale, Health, etc) then a Notes column. This way I can filter on the related to column and search it.
I have links to OneNote pages (or just titles), and could easily do the same with Obsidian or anything else. There are years of notes in it now. Anything I’ve fixed is in there, so easy to find again with my own wording (which is how it started, then I realized keeping a separate personal journal made it harder to see things in general, or connections specifically) .
On my phone I use an app called… Memento. It’s like excel, but designed for a simpler UI. Easy for me to create new databases on a whim, or simply add info to one.
I believe many people witg ADHD have a working memory deficit too, so getting new info into long term memory is more crucial for them.
I also agree that handwritten is generally best for journals/notes like this, I just needed it to be searchable.
If it’s worth remembering, it’s worth writing down.
Quote of the day there.
What are you trying to guard against with backups? It sounds like your greatest concern is data loss from hardware failure.
The 3-2-1 approach exists because it addresses the different concerns about data loss: hardware failures, accidental deletion, physical disaster.
That drive in your safe isn’t a good backup - drives fail just as often when offline as online (I believe they fail more often when powered off, but I don’t have data to support that). That safe isn’t waterproof, and it’s fire resistance is designed to protect paper, not hard drives.
If this data is important enough to back up, then it’s worth having an off site copy of your backup. Backblaze is one way, but there are a number of cloud based storages that will work (Hetznet, etc).
As to your Windows/Linux concern, just have a consistent data storage location, treat that location as authoritative, and perform backups from there. For example - I have a server, a NAS, and an always-on external drive as part of my data duplication. The server is authoritative, laptops and phones continuously sync to it via Syncthing or Resilio Sync, and it duplicates to the NAS and external drives on a schedule. I never touch the NAS or external drives. The server also has a cloud backup.
Not just GSM - any phone would do it, GSM was just more noticeable (I had a CDMA phone since 1996, all of them did this until about 2006).
Hahahaha
Geez, man, read a book. Or even a Wikipedia page
You’re advocating rule by mob over rule of law… You know, like the French Revolution
Damn right!
“Bouncing off”?
It impacted and both disintegrated.
Also, what it impacted wasn’t much larger than the missile itself, perhaps 3x larger.
Holy shit, that’s insane…1992? Back then setting up a drive meant configuring interleave and some other stuff.
Well I don’t watch it, I don’t watch anyone’s, as they take 4-10 times longer to explain something than I can read it. I would’ve never learned this otherwise, so I’m glad he wrote it up, and linked to his source:
Speaking on his YouTube channel (emphasis mine).
I mean really, what more can you ask for than clearly giving credit?
Where’s the off button for this garbage? Because that’s all I care about.
Scotch Eggs… Omfg, those are fucking incredible.
At the bottom of the vodka bottle?
I kid, I kid!
Seriously… I mean honestly, it’s whenever I can get intensely focused on what I’m doing, whether that’s writing a doc for work, or making something at home, or playing a game.
Wow, that says a lot for Bandcamp
What do you mean a second icon?
Also, on Android, you can change Icons for apps to just about whatever you want. I forget how, but I’ve done it - I just don’t bother anymore since I operate by shortcuts.
We embrace strangers as readily as we embrace family.
Um, no.
Also, “not growing up” also implies remaining juvenile, unwilling to relinquish simplistic idealism.
And you wonder why most people simply disregard anarchism, when you willingly ignore the complexities of the world?
And there’s the problem with many ideologies - if even one person doesn’t play along (see the embrace family above), it falls apart.
There’s and endless supply of guides for ripping.
On Windows just use Exact Audio Copy - It can pull all the track info from multiple sources. I forget what I used on Linux.
Neat! Thanks for the insight
