  Once again looking at contract wording for things and seeing "99.9% percentage of time that the backups are performed on time and free from errors and omissions" It seems fine until you go to actually apply it. What time frame? A day, a month, a year? Let's say a month, and our backup policy includes 10 resources backed up daily. A single failed backup drops us to 99.67% That's fine, we just run a bunch of reliable backups at the end of the month to catch up? Some of our b...

  Oh damn, I want to show my support for public transport, but I can't decide if I prefer the XTrap over the Velocitys. And the E class is kind of nice. What shall I do??? Fear not!

Their peak per annum extraction was over 15 ML and the total to around 1986 was 14.52 ML. The Mount Franklin trade name remains nationally iconic and profitable for the company, though no water has been extracted from the original site for approximately 35 years. TIL where Mount Franklin is, along with Coca Cola lies - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moun...

  This is probably the least active I've been in 5 years. In the last two weeks I've done one little 3k walk. I'm guessing the earliest I'll be able to do something like run or ride will probably be Wednesday and honestly I'm a bit terrified of that.

  this shits me so much. In ye old times in macos you could make a new "service" for a network interface, then assign a static ip or subnet to that interface. New macos versions still allow you to create the service, but the network panel redesign punts you wifi settings of the main adapter, so you can no longer set the IP address. So ( at least for wifi) the ability of add a new service is effectively useless. The people making these settings panes are so disconnected from what they d...
