Also if humans were as efficient or even more efficient, there is something to be said about a consistent stable machine and predictable failure modes vs a sketchy volatile human

Makes sense, it’s really stressful for me when my territorial instincts are triggered too.

I do this continually for work as well, I approach every new project assuming best practice or approach options have changed. It doesn’t matter how experienced I am in what I’m doing, I still loop back and check.

It’s such an automatic thing I don’t even think about it, but honestly not sure if it’s because of interest or because of fear of being called out for doing something wrong lol

The “missing oaf” on the paper is great too

A group of friends use this every weekend to play party games (Like jackbox games). One person streams and everyone uses a browser to interact.

If I want to show a friend a new game, I use it as well.

I’ve done this about 5 times now. I never make it more then a couple hours in. It seems like one I would enjoy but it’s a total struggle bus

I was gonna say. I go out and buy something about once a week… I realize I’m not the norm but for a single day to matter to most people blows my mind.

That’s an awesome idea, I’m gonna try that

I took it as the saying if you lose your keys or other objects that “they are always in the last place you look”

When is that?

Well when it gets to the top of course

Or as I like to say, two buns short of a hamburger

The front fell off you see

Lol he looks smug in the moment but when that happens to me his face is getting a kick from the other foot.

And the situation where I need to restore more then 8tb would be when I lost all my original data, and the backup NAS itself.

If that happens I’m not worrying about spending $280.

I’m not sure about the iscsi protocol. They allow VMs, including harddrives via USB, so the point of doing this making it more expensive does not apply considering someone could just hook up 100tb+ of USB drives and still be clear under the TOS.

If they did have a problem with this I would just do that instead.

I use the unlimited consumer backblaze with private key on a windows VM. I provision a 40tb iscsi connection to the VM from a NAS and all kinds of various homelab systems and devices store thier backups there. Works great and is the cheapest possible option at $9 a month.

Tick tock Mr wick… Tick tock.

I thought that was also the case for the one OP is talking about, ya kuake
