In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!
I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.
It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn't afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.
I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.
I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.
This was my lesson.
I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.
Backups are super, SUPER important. I've lost count how many times I've logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it's always reassuring how easy it is to restore.

You have assumed the reason for the rule is censorship. I think incorrectly.
Christ. This rings true.
Violating your principals for some undetectable flouride in the water is a small price to pay for an entire area of people to receive better dental prospects.
Flip this round. You still have a choice, buy bottled water.
The large grocery store in my town was taking Halloween items off the shelves and replacing them with Christmas items yesterday. Halloween hasn't even been yet and the rush for Christmas has started. They had Christmas items for sale in the last week of September. The commercialisation of Christmas is out of control.
Cash is still used a lot. Especially for second hand small purchases. Not everyone wants to do the PayPal dance at a car boot.
Report it lost instead. I've lost cards loads of times over the years. One phone call and the new one is on its way. However the fact your bank wouldn't issue your replacement makes me think they would charge you for this privilege.
They should start a payment plan. $5 per day.

In the UK, if Christmas or New Year falls on a weekend, a seperate equivalent holiday is made during the week to compensate.

Travelling Europe on this next week
Can't wait. Super excited. Visiting France, Brussels, Germany, Netherlands.
They scared now
I was just thinking. In the UK government every cabinet minister, which are those with specific jobs like head of education, or health, also has an opposite "shadow" person from the other main party whose job is to argue with the other. Imagine you had the job of Shadow head of education. Must be an easy job, you just argue with the other guy. But then your party wins the election and things just got real. You got to do the job for serious now.
Extra long images are unreadable
Sync grabs images using an option for max length of 1500px, so the super long images are just a smattering of pixels that barely represent the original image.
I can't find a way in the app to get a better quality version. I end up opening a web browser to view.

RB5009 Passive PoE doesn't support 24V devices
Annoyingly, the RB5009 doesn't have a voltage regulator on its PoE-out ports. So it outputs ~48V, but other Mikrotik devices that support PoE-in only support ranges like 20-34V.
There is a solution! And I wanted to share it with you guys as my first post :)
48V-to-24V in-line convertor: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-poe-Converter-48V-to-24V.html
This will convert the output from the RB5009 to 24V. Tested with PoE-out on RB5009UPr+S+ and PoE-in on CSS106-5G-1S.
The RB5009 is a fantastic device.

Getting requests to delete communities
Are these legit? We don't host the community that they are referring to, so I don't understand what good it does to request it.
Latest Steam hardware survey, resolution results seem off?
3840x1080 at 60%?
1920x1080 not in the list?
I'd of expected that to be the most popular.

How to "purge community"
I've seen posted elsewhere that instance admins have the ability to remove communities from their instance with a "purge community" button. I can't find this, can someone post a screenshot/guide on where the option is?
Also, if another instance has died and wont be coming back, is there a way to purge communities from the local instance database? Maybe the same way as above.
Shops that close early
I get it, you want to go home. But if you advertise to the community that you are open until 2200, but regularly shut shop at 2145, just change your opening hours.
