You have got to be goddamned kidding me. Literally this weekend I said to myself “time to get a UPS”.

They made mention of how the next protest would require action at No Kings this weekend. I was sincerely hoping this might be the case. It felt like enough people are showing up for these that action just might be possible.
I don’t know, but it was inspiring to see so many people, and the conversations going on are much more targeted and direct. I don’t have much faith left, but here’s hoping; I’ll do my part..
And just where can one procure such a pile of towels?
Been on it for years, but reminds me that it desperately needs a hardware upgrade. Seems like now is the right time.
Anyone have any good suggestions? I’m still running an old pcengines apu2.
Yep, they will prop his rotting corpse up as long as they can, the plan is to having him be the wrecking ball, take all the blame, but by then the fixes are all in for the next one in line.
Not sure if they will foist vance on us, I don't think they believe he can be the front of a cult but by they maybe the power will be consolidated enough that they don't care since he's just a puppet.
Right, I run almost the same stack as this guy, but on a dumpster dive office PC turned into my NAS, and three used, micro form factor pc’s I picked up for 60 bucks. My most expensive thing is the hot swap silverstone case for the refurb 4 and 10tb hdds.
Also, why pfsense when opnsense exists (j/k, just my preference).
100%, I honestly wasn’t trying for a holier that thou attitude. Any snark was aimed at the higher ups in my professional life with that audit comment.
I too am guilty of having my personal stuff less than perfectly backed up. It’s better than most, but it is still not what it should be, so, that’s what I mean by it being so easy to not be backed up.
I was job hunting during the doge apocalypse after a layoff, it was tough, so many people fired and looking at the same time. My dad had no sympathy, he kept telling me that it was all necessary, and said that I’d have no trouble because everyone I was competing against were useless government employees anyway.
I don’t talk to my dad anymore.
It’s so easy. I can’t tell you how many “backed up” environments I’ve run into that simply cannot be restored. Often people set them up, but never test them, and assume the snaps are working.
Backups are typically only thought about when you need them, and by then it’s often too late. Real backups need testing and validation frequently, they need remote, off-site storage, with a process to restore that as well.
Been doing this shit for 30 years and people will never learn. I’d guess 9 out of 10 backup systems that I’ve run into were there to check a box on an audit, and never looked at otherwise.
I actually have an ac180 for camping and using tools away from power. I kinda figured it was a bit of a waste as just a ups, and worried about killing the battery quickly.
Maybe get another dedicated one for the office where I need it..
