Backup is step one, or even step 0, of setting up a server. The amount of frustration and even job loss a backup can prevent is always worth the expense of time/money.

Backup can be setup scripts/config files/automation if the data doesnt matter, but you do need it. Also, even if they say the data doesn’t matter, the data almost always matters. It may not now, but it will in 3 years when people use the server for real work and everyone just doesnt even begin to think about a backup until the server fails one day and they lose years worth of their grant and thesis data.

Backups can be simple, they can be complex. They can be free or pay, they can have gui or just be scripts. Settle on one that you can make work, and CHECK THEM OCCASIONALLY with test restores of at least a few files. If you dont test and find a working backup, you have hope, not resiliency.

What’s “pushing the envelope” about run-of-the-mill sexual exploitation? Your own descriptor points out how common it is.

The ad execs published conversations they had with “syd.” They asked explicitly if she was willing to “push the envelope” and she agreed that “they should go all the way lol.”

Everyone involved in the ad absolutely knew it was a eugenics joke.

Jessica Alba went on to make a few hundred millions selling soap, so shes got that going for her.

This is called “bolting” in gardening terms, when a plant goes to flower or seed.

Because the car areas are too dangerous for them and there are no bike areas.

Looks like it has built in wireguard vpn client support, so you can connect to an external vpn server and route all traffic to it automatically from all your devices.

I’ve worked in a heavy industry space where the “computers” were just slightly complicated circuit boards working together. No OS, no networking, nothing but circuit logic running hilariously important machines. The cabinets were locked in a small area deep in the facility that was manned 100% of the time, and were rarely accessed, so it would be a big event for anyone to interact with them. There were no windows for “someone with a clipboard” to just be waived in to mess with them.

There was no remote access, and no social engineering possible. Anyone who could work on them was well known by everyone who would be in the room. An insider threat was basically the only kind possible, but the only “hacked” output would just be a failed “off” state, which wouls be replaced.

There really are “unhackable” computerized machines out there, but only because calling them “computerized” is a stretch.

Yup, those are the same devices for roughly the same cost. Being the same devices, they fit the same niche regardless of vendor. I think Framework is selling this to step into the “home/smb ai enthusiast” market.

Id say their advantage over gmktech is the fact that you can buy just the mobo/cpu/ram combo. You dont have to buy the full desktop from framework, but you can. Thats “modular” in the scope of the platform. It lets you do wacky things like this video, where Jeff has already set up a half width rack mini cluster of 4 of them in an adhoc ai home lab data center experiment.

15k for several distinct hotspots in a city is pretty reasonable, depending on what equipment they are using.

Enterprise quality IT gear is expensive. Each access point can easily be 1k, and that excludes any routers/firewall/switching that you may need at each site. As an example, I’ve worked in places that had small retail locations that at a minimum had 8k of network equipment, with some locations pushing into the 100k+ range based on needs and size. That’s per site. The above is all in USD, but just equipment. Labor can add 30% to the costs.

15k euro for a whole city that includes equipment and installation sounds very fiscally responsible.

I mean, just do it anyway, onion or not. Bring some joviality to politics.

One-stop-slop that is.

Nope, I was wrong entirely. I deleted my comment and added the below in. Youre dead on about vegas killing it for the loop:

Based on the most recent article I can find with the head of the monorail system, you’re right:

How do the Monorail and the Vegas Loop complement each other? What’s the future of the monorail? Are there plans to get another leg of that going?

What we plan to do is run the Monorail the way it is, until we can’t anymore. What will almost certainly determine that is the trains wearing out. We’ve got nine trains, if we were going to replace them right now it would probably be a $300 million purchase, and we can’t afford to do that. Nobody else could either. Once that stops, our plan is to use the monorail structure, the stanchions, take the track off and put a two-lane road on top of the monorail and tie it into the (underground Vegas Loop) system.

Any guesses of the Monorail lifespan?

We keep saying eight or 10 years.

There were some light rail conversations on and off for maybe the past decade. Would light rail help?

Taking a lane off the Strip for light rail seems counterproductive. The properties have never supported it. And if you don’t take the traffic away, then I don’t know that light rail speeds anything up. I mean, if you’re able to run in the same lane as the train, then I don’t know (if) that does you a whole lot of good. But it’s a very expensive system to put in. One of the real benefits of (the underground system) is it’s free. The Boring Company is paying for all the tunnels, and the properties are paying for all the stations. There’s no public money going into the system.

He goes into it in the video, but the Las vegas monorail runs to many of the same locations, is cash positive, and is the 13th most used mass transit system in the US.

The issue in Vegas is that mass transit doesn’t fit a “luxury” experience that every bit of vegas is trying to sell you to fleece your pockets. The loop, especially the “new” stops that are literally benches outside of hotels with no tunnels, don’t either, but the “private chauffeur” pitch of the Tesla tunnels at least fit the grift.

Fema, after announcing that, revoked it after backlash and claimed it was never an “official” directive, even though it was offically announced by Fema.

Absolute clown car, but probably good enough for the conservatives to fall back in line entirely.

Home ownership is a public record.

“Blackrock” isn’t gonna give you much info to work with, unless you want to burn down the houses they own. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people live in them, so that isn’t a good answer there either.
