Exactly


this is ~10GB every 6 hours (which is probably a reasonable amount of time to run a backup while not interfering with active Internet use).

Basically the only backup-worthy content I generate is casual photos and videos, and these are nowhere near that size (Immich database backups also take up a bit but I could certainly be smarter about how I handle these backups).

Yeah, I would additionally like to see fines be in units of revenue


$50M means wildly different things to different organizations.

We "only" have ~35Mbps upload, but that's plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.

But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!

Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync'd over (I don't generate a ton of data, so it's mostly just photos from my phone).

For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I've done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It's maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo...

In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).

Many time zones: You get to a new place and look up what time zone you're in.

Well, sorta


but it's no effort at all because my timekeeping device (phone) does this automatically.

For me, the time of day is internalized in a way that I think is hard to switch. Same as how I was raised with imperial units


even though I prefer (and use professionally) metric, the intuition can be a little harder to get. But to each their own of course :)

I prefer the current way


I can be in another state or another country and I know that 7am is a good time for breakfast, around noon is a good time for lunch, and so forth. (If you don't change latitude sure, just go outside to figure this out, but it's complicated if it's overcast, or the latitude isn't what you're used to, or...)

Time has a number of meanings


UTC is great for machines, local time is (IMHO) a good concept for humans.

Aviation is also mentioned, which (to me) is a bigger deal here. The only viable alternative to burning jet fuel is to get from A to B much, much more slowly. Which is great and something we should be doing! But realistically...not gonna happen anytime soon.

I like the "this can't really be compared to Windows or macOS" aspects of tiling window managers. I like it when the window manager sort of "gets out of the way," but that's just me.

It could grip it by the husk.

Yeah people don't seem to understand taxes wrt stock at all. RSUs are definitely taxed!

Only thing I can think of is they're thinking of options? Afaik those can be advantageous, tax-wise, because you are taxed when you exercise, not when they're granted or when they vest (this is my understanding


I could be wrong).

Search the Internet for RSU tax liability in the US. It's taxed as supplemental income and is subject to withholding.

Are you thinking of options? That's different


"stock grant" afaik almost always refers to an RSU grant/vest.
