No shit?

Exactly, the vision was flawless, it will all be blamed on the execution. The people who failed to build it will be held accountable though; departments of them…

Fucking awesome system we have here.

Thanks, I’ll look there. I usually just go Amazon or Newegg (easy returns if bad) but I’m sure there are better deals out there.

I used to pay like $69 for them in the US. Looks like they add a hundred bucks or so to the price…

I’ve got 30tb or so made up of 4 and 10tb used drives. All I’ll buy anymore. In fact, I need to change out of of my parity drives. Hopefully used market is still somewhat affordable.

I already have my nodes up and running. It’s been picking up like mad lately, much more chatter than this time last year.

he’s got harry potter money, takes roles for the fun of it now…

They arrived when arcade machines started charging more than one quarter per play. They are there to make it easier to spend money, I mean once you bought them, why not spend them all?

I’m old though.

They should have never gone to them. Arcades should be something you visit with a pocket full of quarters.

OMG, I do this when a drop is about to spill, it’s reflex, Can’t help it. But I’m always terrified someone will see me being so weird.

Glad to know I’m not alone I guess.

I am still pissed off about losing Force Touch on the iPhone. Haptic Touch is so much worse and slow. I loved using various pressures with good feedback for things that made sense. It was so much faster and more deliberate than the stupid replacement.

It felt like a great step in this direction, but instead of improving, they just shitcanned it for something much worse.

Oh come on now, the dems give everyone other side a pass. Look at Al Franken, what he did was way worse than anything in the Epstein files and got off scott free.

Er, wait…that is what happened, right?

Why do people keep giving palmer lucky money? Do they see his name and just feel like it needs to be self fulfilling?

I was going off about passwords last week because of exactly this kind of shit. Who in the goddamned fuck needs a pringles.com account.

We live in insane times.

I mean, the reason is that it’s one of the main ingredients of mirepoix, and most people don’t find it offensive. It’s one of those background flavors that you don’t pick out, but is part of the typical base.

What I’m getting at is that if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. It’s there because whoever made it, decided to put it in.

Now, I’m sure there are all kinds of explanations about the enzymes, and the fiber and so on, but it’s soup, doesn’t have to be complicated. Just delicious :)

Celery is genuinely one of my favorite parts of soups that use them. I LOVE the flavor or celery, and it is even better when it picks up the rest of the flavors of the dish.

To answer yours and the other questions about “why this ingredient”, the answer is very simple. Some people like it.

If you don’t, then don’t use it, problem solved.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the US is filled with shitty people.

Sounds like a hell of a system that puts mine to shame. I’m impressed fellow self hoster :)

I completely agree, that why I said I don’t blame the guy, was just doing what Apple encouraged him and all of us to do.

My comment was more meant as advice. Apple definitely should be making this right, BUT this is also a good eye opener for the rest of us.

I’m not blaming the guy, but he seems smart enough that he should have known better. Data isn’t secure if it’s in a single location, he gave up control and the inevitable happened.

I do not trust anyone with my data, the more important, the more sure I am that I have copies in several locations, including ones that are entirely in my control. My photos exist on multiple devices, cloud, my selfhosted immich server and my offline backup. Same with documents and other important data. My ripped movie collection is not backed up since I have the physical media.

Do not give up control, the systems are all setup to give you the illusion of security, but then this kind of thing happens. Maybe I’m extra paranoid since I’ve been the victim of identity theft but I’m comfortable with my level of paranoia.

Update- for the record, yes, Apple needs to make this right. I DO NOT blame the victim, my comment is here as advice, not to shit on the dude.
