I started calling it “Grandma Debian” for some reason.

… I say this as a Debian user after new versions of Mint failed to accurately detect my RAID size. I tried Ubuntu for giggles, same problem, but Grandma Debian worked perfect out of the box.

To be fair, it is a software RAID in the BIOS and those are known to be odd.

I like you. Thank you.

I’d imagine that’s the plan ; )

and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.

Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.

Then I said said “fuck this shit” and gave up to never play again.

EDIT: You probably guessed, but I should clarify that it was the same list of info, verbatim, each time. Just copy/paste response without reading that I’d already supplied it.

I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”

This. I go on a solo backpacking trip every year that for some reason coincides with my birthday… Weird how that works out.

I tell everybody as soon as they ask me if I have kids and I live in a very, very conservative area. Fuck em.

Well I’m not going to vote for Biden after that “garbage” comment he made. Such violent rhetoric.

Internal RAID1 as first line of defense. Rsync to external drives where at least one is always offsite as second. Rclone to cloud storage for my most important data as the third.

Backups 2 and 3 are manual but I have reminders set and do it about once a month. I don’t accrue much new data that I can’t easily replace so that’s fine for me.

Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?

… Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn’t surprise me, regardless.

If you like this and haven’t seen “Good Night, Oppy” you should go do that right now.

Can I also add nothing? It’ll make me feel important with no consequences.

“Nature is fucking metal”

Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.

Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.

But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.

Same.

Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)

Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)

Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.

But… well done is tougher and harder to chew than medium? Right? Am I taking crazy pills for believing this my whole life?

Remember when small trucks were small? I remember. My 2008 Tacoma (which used to be a small truck) seems about the same size as a 90s model Silverado.

I remember the late 90s Tacomas and S10s. I want them back.

But, I do think we hit critical mass because newer ones seem to be shrinking again… I think.

Damn, got removed from your job by down votes. Sorry, that sucks.
