Just so you learn to empathise and not abuse retail staff. In this diseased loving country it would just teach people to be more abusive to retail staff, cause I got shat on when I was doing that job, so it's normal and expected and why should they have it any better

It also unfortunately teaches you that most of the time you have to be an absolute oval office to get what you want out of most customer service interactions because if you’re nice about it you’ll just be fobbed off.

History Comes Inside! posted: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. It's not the space I need so much as the reassurance that if I wake up one morning to find out a drive has carked it at a hardware level, it means just buying a new drive and a bit of setup rather than being like the goon who lost all their photos (and I'm assuming docs / movies / porn from back when was easier). Seperate question, why has the defence secretary resigned?

That’s not RAID so much as it is just backing up to two separate drives, which is just as valid an approach really if all you wanna do is keep your poo poo safe!

Depending on how much stuff you're looking to back up, you might find it more cost effective to just use a cloud backup service. If it's just your photos and documents, then something like idrive is pretty cheap https://www.idrive.com/pricing 10 dollars a year for 500gb, you'd get quite a few years peace of mind for the price of 2 hard drives (plus the cost of running them and replacing when required)

Bear in mind as always that ‘the cloud’ is just ‘someone else’s computer’ and is just as prone to failure and data loss as anything else sometimes, as a bunch of people found out last week. If it’s stuff you can’t bear to lose having multiple backups is the way forward, don’t rely on just one type.

It doesn't appear to have any significant reason apart from Wallace resigning. There's probably going to be another more significant one in the next month or two so they can rotate out all the people that are standing down next election.

Laffo That's computers for you. Though if attackers were able to encrypt all prod and backup data, then you've gotta question what kind of Mickey mouse operation they were running. You're right, of course, multiple backups in different locations and devices will always be best, but then you're back into price considerations. If you want to be reasonably sure your photos will survive drive failure, but don't want to spend a lot, it's definitely an option

Re: the cloud - also keep in mind that the major cloud providers will happily block you from all their services if they think you've done something wrong. No they won't tell you what that is. No you can't get your files back, better hope you still have a local copy.

For backups the gold standard is the 3-2-1 system. - Three copies - Two media types - One copy being off-site If you have a decent budget. Then a NAS with a regular automatic cloud backup and weekly/monthly cold backups (ie a external harddrive) is excellent A decent NAS with storage wiill set you back a £300+ though. If you are on a budget then an externall HDD + cloud storage such as backblaze unlimited can be had for very little £5 a month and the external drives is £50ish depending on the size you need. Always go with a cloud providers who's main business is backups. Companies that bundle storage as part of other products are less reliable and often change their terms on you.

Socialism 2023 conference for anyone interested. 1st - 3rd September. It's live in Chicago but there's a virtual stream alongside. You do have to register though. All times for the programme (listed on the link) are in "Central Daylight Time" which I think is 7 hours behind us so 5pm Chicago time is midnight here. https://socialismconference.org/virtual-program/ It's not free but seems you can get a virtual ticket for $7.18 ($5 + fee). Not quite sure how it all works! Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Aug 31, 2023 |

They'll be replaced by cladding which will also have to be pulled down in a few years when it's finally proven to be just as dangerous. By that point the construction industry will have moved onto another cheap and dangerous solution. Presumably L-shaped houses full of wires that eat you like the computer in Superman 3.
