  • every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
  • client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
  • at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box

Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.

Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.

Pick and choose your battles.

I have not opened my SMS app in years.

But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all...)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the "brain capacity", neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,... It is an extremely simple "skill".

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 4 points 4 months ago

Because it's not! Glad to help you clear that up.

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it's 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it's going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / ... ). Not saying you can't get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.

I feel like I'm going insane reading these comments about how difficult it is to read analog clocks, how it needs too much understanding of maths, how it takes too long,...

Can someone please confirm: you just look, for a fraction of a second, at the clock face and know the time, right?

Learning to read the clock was like... A couple of lessons and some homework in the 2nd grade, and everyone got it.

Actually.. Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.

But hey, at least the acknowledge that there's the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.
