My first job was at a place that had a 20x markup on cables. It was good for closing deals. Saying "I'll throw in a free cable" sounded like a $15 gain to the customer when it was only a $1 hit to us.
And yes, I still pull out the RCA cables from time to time. My IDE ribbon cables won't see much action these days.
I think many of us have several GBs of JPEGs that have accumulated over the years. It would be nice to shrink them a bit.
However I wouldn't do it until the majority of my software supports it. At least with JXL, you can transcode it back to legacy jpeg without losing quality
I have immich running on a server that's under the stairs. It's a bit loud, but it's out of the way. I can only access it over SSH.
For backups, I wrote a shell script to do it. I just plug in my external drive, run the script, and unplug it again. The next day I'll swap the drive for one that I keep in my workplace locker. There's also a mirrored RAID for the server. That's 4 copies in total.
Yeah, it's still a bit of work. I couldn't imagine teaching anyone else how to do it.
Basically, Microsoft spies on everyone. They'll identify you and let the feds trawl through your OneDrive account. On Windows, it actually takes a very conscious effort to NOT upload files to OneDrive.
They're targeting a guy just because he unknowingly interacted with the suspect. As a joke.
If anyone questions why people like me have a GrapheneOS pixel connecting to self-hosted cloud storage on a home linux server, this is why.
That's the funny thing. You could have a huge house debt with massive repayments, but your net worth is based on the value of the house and what you still owe. Your disposable income is comparable to a homeless person.
I did this once, except I just messed with the polls on most of Australia's biggest news outlets. It was surprisingly easy to do, and even the outlets themselves reported on my fabrications.
It was good lulz tho. Especially when they finally figured out that they'd been had. They all stopped running polls after that.
