Don’t look at Backblaze drive reports then. WD is pretty much all good, Seagate has some good models that are comparable to WD, but they have some absolutely unforgivable ones as well.

Not every Seagate drive is bad, but nearly every chronically unreliable drive in their reports is a Seagate.

Personally, I’ve managed hundreds of drives in the last couple of decades. I won’t touch Seagate anymore due to their inconsistent reliability from model to model (and when it’s bad, it’s bad).

I believe it.

  1. Install Windows 11 on your old Windows 10 machine
  2. Discover that between the bloat, spyware, and default settings that keep resetting themselves, it's basically unusable now
  3. Wipe the drive and install Linux in its place
  4. Your system is now 3x faster than it was with Windows 10

I've always wondered - and figured here is a good a place to ask as anywhere else - what's the advantage of object storage vs just keeping your data on a normal filesystem?

To be fair, I don't know either. I mean he's supposed to, and he swore an oath to, but if nobody is going to enforce that then must he really? What happens if/when he doesn't?

I had something almost identical to this happen to me on Friday. Last year our company moved to a super locked down version of Teams, to the point where I couldn't even open images that people put in the chat because of security issues, instead the image they posted would be replaced with an error image saying that I wasn't allowed to open images, blah blah blah. That problem was resolved a long time ago though.

On Friday I was trying to send an image of some data processing to a colleague, and every time I put it in Teams, it would show up as that stupid error message. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out why that problem was back, was my computer not authenticating with MS properly, etc. Turns out my file browser was sorting by time order instead of reverse time order, and the screenshot at the top of the list from May 2 2024, was a screenshot of the error message that I used to send to IT when they were investigating the problem.

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet - if you're in the US, lock down your credit at all 3 agencies. It takes 10-15 minutes and is free, it's easy to do.

The issue is that many of these leaks include things like your full legal name, phone number, parents' full legal names, your social security number, and your entire address history. This makes it trivially easy for somebody to steal your identity and start opening up credit accounts in your name. You need to lock down your credit before that happens. If you need your credit run in the future (opening a bank account, getting a credit card or loan), just ask them which agency they pull the report from and temporarily unfreeze it so they can run the report, then re-freeze it when they're done. It adds 5 minutes of work once or twice a decade, but could be priceless later on when someone tries to steal your identity.

The complaint isn’t about the colon in OP’s image, it’s the colon in OP’s explanation.

OP complaining about an insignificant capitalization mistake in a Twitter post, while making a far more egregious grammatical error in their explanation is just...*chef's kiss*

Same, I don't let Docker manage volumes for anything. If I need it to be persistent I bind mount it to a subdirectory of the container itself. It makes backups so much easier as well since you can just stop all containers, backup everything in ~/docker or wherever you put all of your compose files and volumes, and then restart them all.

It also means you can go hog wild with docker system prune -af --volumes and there's no risk of losing any of your data.

Mint is basically Ubuntu with all of Canonical's BS removed. This definitely counts as Canonical BS, so I'd be surprised if it made its way into Mint.

Yes it’s paid, but the quality is worlds above Bing, DDG, or Google. The best description I can make is that it’s what Google Search was about 15 years ago, back when there were no AI results, no ads, no artificially promoted results, and you could vote on results and block domains from appearing in your searches. Back when Google Search was actually good.

So it doesn’t do anything new or groundbreaking, it’s just what a search engine is supposed to be, in a time when every other option has abandoned that goal in the endless search for more revenue.

Standard street performance is around 1-2 deg negative camber, an experienced eye can tell when looking at the car from the outside but it's not super obvious. Aggressive track camber is around 3-4 deg, that's getting a bit more obvious to the naked eye, but still looks fairly normal. The cars you're talking about with like 10+ deg of camber, where the outside of the tire isn't even touching the pavement, is just the owners making their car handle like shit and burn through tires every 1000 miles because they think it looks cool.

This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".
