It depends on if you have a carry on. It’s stressful boarding with no more overhead bin space available. The airline will likely make you check your carry on bag if you board towards the end, which means waiting at baggage claim.

This may be a perk to some, but a lot of people don’t like checking their luggage.

That’s another side effect of acetaminophen.

Ah, maybe the max was 20GB for zip. I’d just do the max available for zip.

In the context of leopardsatemyface the mayor’s political leanings are quite relevant. It could even be said this whole post isn’t relevant to the community.

But yeah, keep on with your singular attitude.

Do it again, but select 50GB chunks. This will produce fewer files.

Use immich-go to do the importing.

Doubt it. This one’s in Sacramento, CA.

I’ve never had to restore a backup (yet), but to me this is the best feature of Restic.

I used Duplicati for a while (I think it was Duplicati, not Duplicacy) and although the backups seemed to work, I kept reading about people having trouble during the restore process.

Restic is a slight chore to get set up with the environmental variables, figuring out which directories to “–ignore”, etc… but man once it’s set up it’s just great.

I’m not sure I fully grasp what you want, but Restic is excellent. I use a cronjob to back up on a schedule. It’s command line only. I think there’s a tool to make it a GUI but I haven’t tried it. They have a Docker image available but it’s weird, you have to pass commands to it, it runs, then shuts down when it’s done. I love Docker but that didn’t quite work for me.

I use Backblaze B2 for storage, but any S3 will do. Restic supports all sorts of storage targets.

Credentials and things go in an .env file, or you can put everything into the command line every time.

When it’s time to restore things, you can fricken mount the whole backup you want and browse the files, copy and paste what you need, etc. That part is really cool to me.

Backblaze is $5 or $6 USD per TB per month, so 500GB will be about $36USD a year.

I’ve quickly skimmed 3 articles on the subject just now, and the consensus is it just mixes evenly with air. It’ll naturally be more concentrated near the source, but there’s tons of air flow in a house especially when the heat is on. One article even said CO is lighter than air (bit not enough to separate and rise on its own).

Just to be clear because I don’t want anyone to read this and take it as fact…

Smoke detectors detect smoke by looking for particles.

Some devices are combo Smoke/Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors. They cost more but it’s good to have both and it’s easier to have fewer devices.

You can also get stand alone Carbon Monoxide detectors and absolutely should. It’s odorlesss and very deadly and is produced by burning gas/oil/propane or whatever else you burn to heat your house.

Give it another go, your body gets used to the heat.

You are, correct.

Wow, that’s a lot of time listening. Some headphones can be fatiguing, but these must not be!

Do you listen to music mostly?

Finding the Center of Gravitas.

It’s recommended to not begin boarding until it’s finished, but one person moving around, gusts of wind, etc. don’t bother it.

I’ve been trying to think through how it would determine longitude based on rotation of the earth and I agree, that’s not really possible. I wonder what other tricks it uses to find the initial location.

This sounds pretty fancy.

Commercial aircraft get their location from multiple places including GPS, ground based facilities (VOR’s), IRS, etc. IRS is what I’m used to calling it, but it’s the same as INS, which is what this article is talking about.

It determines location by keeping track of rotation, acceleration, etc. It’s often called “dead reckoning” because it just gives the best guess, and you don’t know how accurate it is. There are multiple of these devices on each aircraft, and they compare their locations to the other sources and if one is drifting way further than the rest, it gets ignored. That’s a very basic explanation because how it really works is way above my knowledge level.

It’s very cool how these devices find their location, though. When you first boot the system up, it spends about 5 minutes measuring the rotation of the Earth. For this reason, you can’t reset it when in motion. Based on what it feels it can determine your exact location on the surface of the earth.
