Same here.
I only backup stuff like receipts, certificates, passwords and some of my work folders. The rest, I'll somehow manage without.

Also, I keep the backup in an easy enough place that I can take it and run, in case of a large enough earthquake that destroys my comp.

It occurs to me how funny these would look with appropriate sized spares.

[–] xav@programming.dev 42 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It already looks stupidly funny to me. Also decadent. I can't imagine why a country would make this road-legal.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is there even a notion of "road legal" in the US ? It seems that just anything goes over there.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

Seems, as long it's not a cheap Asian car with good mileage, it's road legal.

We're basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you're in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah. For some things it makes sense to look at the US as kind of rural/redneck Europe. The US has like half the population but pretty much all of the geographic diversity.

Consider, for instance, my state of Pennsylvania. It might be a big enough state that folks in civilized countries have heard of it. Being a swing state in our presidential elections probably helps too.

The thing is, this little state you may not have heard of is significantly bigger than countries like Seweden or Belgium, in both population and GDP. It's between the two as far as land area.

PA is shaped a bit like the US itself, too. You have Pittsburgh in the west "coast" and Philadelphia to the east. It's a 515 km drive between the two, or if you want to avoid tolls it's more like 565km at much slower speeds. The vast stretch of land in between is beautiful in places but is very correctly referred to as Pennsyltucky.

When it comes to driving laws, I don't go to the united states drivers services or whatever, I go to PennDOT! https://www.pa.gov/penndot

Profit? Nazis with their intellectual abilities?

I’m setting up my 1-2-3 backup for the first time today, actually. It’ll be nice knowing that my years of art projects and collected media will finally be safe from just about anything.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What methods are you using?

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

OMV for the host.

  • RAID 5 (4x1TB)
  • Weekly incremental internal drive backup
  • Weekly external backup in a firesafe box

I’m just doing the RAID setup today should have the rest done by the end of the month.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that firesafe box in somebody else's house though? I'd be worried about not having true offsite no matter how protected.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Ideally, yes, but don’t know anyone that would be willing to put up with the hassle of it. I’m in a single story building on the outside corner, so unless a plane lands on it, I should be alright.

The lift is more worth than the car.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hope they at least did an LS swap to make up for the loss of torque.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Money's on "nah, of course not."

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's my peertube server setup lol.

[–] omniman@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 days ago

Which instance

[–] goatinspace@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's just a decoration wheel at this point.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's not even the original spare I think. If you look at the middle brake light there's way too much room.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Jeeps look odd without a spare tire, so they probably did it on purpose to be funny.

[–] goatinspace@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Chow Chow spare wheel. Looks cute though.

[–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I wish I could use this one in our internal cookbooks… so good
