Are there any examples of politicians actually demanding amounts of money commensurate with the grift? Like...several hundred million in exchange for a huge tax dig-out? These people are such dumb parochial failures, don't be afraid to dream bigger darling

Can't do that if they can find someone else to bribe for cheaper. You'd need some kind of bribe union to prevent the race to the bottom.

But presumably if you're PM you can up your rate a bit. But even evil scum like Boris and Tonty only seem to get a few million here or there. Meanwhile guys like Crispin Odey are absolutely coining it. Eh, they're probably doing fine, I shan't worry

My bad I didn't think open democracy were that way inclined, but poor choice of words for a popup.

Kinda a misstep on their part too given what 90% of those kind of headlines lead to (the other 10% being a mix of health services trying desperately to counter that and public enquiry stuff), but I guess that's internets news now.

Most of them have a limited shelf-life in Parliament, partly because they're utterly unremarkable politicians and partly because being a politician doesn't in itself get you as rich as these cunts think they should be. But you can't be too greedy, because if you ask for £50k for something, you can be sure someone less notable - but as ambitious - as you is willing to do the same thing for less. So you agree to do things for cheap, and try to bargain your way into a future Non-Exec role with one of the corporations bribing you.

Lunar Suite posted:I paid 120£ for a one-off Office 2020 License (Office Home and Student) because I refuse to participate in Software-as-a-Service, out of principle. I got Word, Excel and Powerpoint; Win10 comes with a mail client built in. I mean, does that one off cost come with what's essentially 6TB of cloud storage? I didn't really put much stock in non physical storage until I nearly lost all of my photos on a HDD crash. As far as I'm concerned, I'm more or less paying for the cloud storage and the office software is just a bonus.

Having been through the experience of having internet cut off in the country I was living in several times - once because of the revolution and twice because the transmediterranean data cables were ripped up by trawlers - I do not trust the cloud. Even just a few weeks ago, our town was completely cut off from internet and mobile phone services (regardless of providers or whether it was landlines or fibres) because an important box of tricks about 3 miles away got flooded. Also just checked someone is desperately trying to hack one of my email accounts (the one I use for this particular laptop) had 8 single use codes generated and emailed to the recovery account just today. Seems to be no way to stop them. On the one hand luckily it is a boring email account that has just one newspaper sub on it, but unluckily it is the one microsoft associates with this laptop so I'm not sure if it is changeable (beyond my skills set LOL). Tried setting up another full admin one on this laptop but no joy. Made a completely new one for the new laptop. The point of that waffle above being what if someone hacked your cloud account?

Sounds like the sort of thing that a NAS would be best for. And then you can get an external drive for the NAS to back up to.

Yeah ‘external’ RAID is achieved with a NAS (or if you want something even less technical, a DAS which connects over USB instead) box with more than one drive in it, you just buy the enclosure then just 2 drives of your desired size and you’re away. You can buy off-the-shelf all in one units that already have 2 drives in which can be configured for RAID 1, but they’re questionably useful since if one of the drives does die you’d have to shuck it to replace the dead one which is a bunch of extra work. I have a 4-bay QNAP box I replaced a ragtag collection of other networked hard drives with recently and it’s been pretty simple to maintain so far, and I have two empty bays I can throw more discs into as I need it.

Bobby Deluxe posted:At some point I hope to try and get an external raid1 array, (so if a drive fails, everything isn't completely gone), but I'm not sure such a thing exists or is affordable for the likes of me. I have three exthdds (2TB x 3) and written bat files to copy the folders (desktop, documents, music, videos, emails, program data etc). I don't think there's any point copying system files - I don't have any special system set ups) plus mirror my films,music and 'deep archive' stuff (20 year old data & program files from my phud lots of tar.gz files) that I don't keep on my laptop as I'll probably never open them again. I did only have 2 but one had a wobbly so I thought I better get a 3rd as I didn't know why it wobbled though I suspect it was a combo of age and being pretty permanently attached to the 'always on' port on the laptop. Had to reformat it but it's ok again now but is third line backup now. I do direct copies of files as I have never successfully restored anything from the formal backup utilities in nearly 40 years of computing also if I'm switching between computers it's much easier. Also if I go away I take one with me in case my flat burns down or I get burgled for my extensive collection of ancient emails and films downloaded in 2008-10 while I'm away!

A year of volunteering doing hospital laundry in exchange for free further education or a mortgage credit, maybe. Whatever horseshit slops out of this think tank, no. National service is to boomers as I Love the 80s is to millennials, something that only ever happened in the background for them but they're convinced it was amazing.
