Raid often comes with snapshots which can recover from your mistakes. Often the raid can even recover after malware encryhts your disk. you still need offline, offsite backups for the best protection but raid is still a useful part of your data safe

I like the legacy plan I’m on. I don’t get netflix included - but I never use that anyway, and meanwhile I get more data for the same price.

The romans made leap day Feburary 24th, and renumbered the days following that. So you are not asking the right question.

Nothing is exposed. There are things I want exposed, but I don’t want to keep security patches up to date, even if there is a zero day. I’m looking for someone trustworthy to hire for things that it would be useful to expose, but they are hard to find.

depends on many variables so there can never be a simple rule. Airlines want their planes full of paying customers is the real rule. They change prices based on how full each plane is. Sometimes a nearby city can be orth heading to for a much better deal.

mobiles and desktops are very diffrerent and need different user incerfaces. So you are not savin, much work. In fact trying to handle both in on may be worse because of all the special cases. Be glad you don’t have to support teletypes, they demand different user interfaces.

Where I live eaectric is 100% wind. with that and solar many places have a significat renewable Part. Even in the worst case fossil fuels are 2 or 3 times more efficent than a car engine.

What extreme cold? Is is January, this is not unusual weather - other than maybe unusually warm. Sure it is colder than average, but there is and always has been a large variation that makes up the average, we have seen lower temperatures in the last 10 years.

Docker gives you a few different things which might or might not matter. Note that all of the following can be gotten in ways other than docker as well. Sometimes those ways are better, but often what is better is just opinion. There are downsides to some of the following as well that may not be obvious.

With docker you can take a container and roll it out to 100s of different machines quickly. this is great for scaling if your application can scale that way.

With docker you can run two services on the same machine that use incompatible versions of some library. It isn’t unheard of to try to upgrade your system and discover something you need isn’t compatible with the new library, while something else you need to upgrade needs the new library. Docker means each service gets separate copies of what is needs and when you upgrade one you can leave the other behind.

With docker you can test an upgrade and then when you roll it out know you are rolling out the same thing everywhere.

With docker you can move a service from one machine to a different one somewhat easily if needed. Either to save money on servers, or to use more as more power is needed. Since the service itself is in a docker you can just start the container elsewhere and change pointers.

With docker if someone does manage to break into a container they probably cannot break into other containers running on the same system. (if this is a worry you need to do more risk assessment, they can still do plenty of damage)

you will often find the best bet is figure out what niche that city needs. Many cities have a specalty that is unique.

what is your goal? Are you planning on moving to a different city and employeer every year, or just want to settle down in aspecific place?

there are lots of jobs. However some places have specifit needs. Some jobs can be worked remote from anywhere. Some jobs depend on word of mouth so you can’t move after getting the skills.

You miss family and friends. Is it worth it?

there is good about anywhere, so your question depends on you and what you make of where you end up. I personally find Iowa higher cost of living then Illinios despite all the calculators showing opposite, but that is how my lifestyle fits so may not appay toyou.

Side one thinks Ketchup is spicy enough. The other side laughs at them, but they don’t understand how much spices hurt side one. This is genetic as far as I can tell - it isn’t just you get used to spices if fed them as a kid which side two seems to think.

You still need a password on your password manager, and that needs to be protected.

Label those pictures though, they are more useful. When my grandma died we showed her old photos to a man who looked at one and said, that is my mom, I never saw a.picture of mom before she was married before. However if my grandma hadn’t labeled the pictures it would be some girl nobody knew 70 years later ’

Blaine’s farm and fleet brand. Cheapest clumping litter I ever found, dust free and unscented. It worked great.

Saddly I moved and now it isn’t convient to buy.

Chulka chuks https://www.chukachuks.com one more way I can pretend i’m a musician.

Fastmail does a great job for me. Spam isn’t a problem with legitimate email providers anymore.

C, because I can find a compiler or interpreter for other language written in C (I may need to run a few steps to get there), and thus work around your silly and nonsense question. Seriously, I use multiple languages because there is no one true language to rule them all. I use C++ for problems where bash would be wrong, and bash where C++ would be wrong. And some python, cmake, lua mixed in for good measure. I’m looking at Rust to add (rust doesn’t like the way our system designed so it is hard to figure out how to implement it)

Like I said, o.think the risk is acceptable .
