  • Yeah, 20 years ago they weren’t a self paid tracker that reported my every action on the web - tracking was minimal and limited. But now maybe not a forest as much as just limiting what tech I have in my house - for instance last week I bought an analaog scale to replace my 15 year old smart one from Withings that has been without WiFi for years.

    I also limit how much time I have my phone on my person, or total screen time.





  • Reading this thread has taught me that when I have a girl over and she tells me that I am not a normal male, I really had no idea how much I didn’t do as a male that other men do all the time….

    I wear all of my clothes until they show clear signs of being worn out and then determine whether that it should be donated or trashed. And i have one shirt then I’ll probably never throw away and it’s one that I’ve had since the 80s, my goonies shirt.




  • Companies claiming 99.9999 uptime is an absurd goal for a SLA, and wouldn’t even survive a small internet outage like a DDoS attack or Akamai outage. I remember in the 90s selling the idea of 5 9’s - 99.999% on my resume until some manager who Interviewed me asked me to state the expected downtime. I stopped claiming that number because it’s impossible without full active redundancy in different locations and not dependent on external providers like cloudflare ever going down.

    And please don’t argue maintenance windows “cover it” because that’s not how they work in the real world today.

    Downtime per year:

    • 99% ~3.65 days (5,256 min)
    • 99.9% ~8.77 hours (526 min)
    • 99.99% ~52.6 min
    • 99.999% ~5.26 min
    • 99.9999% ~31.5 seconds

    For my home lab I’m happy my stuff is online and content I hardly lose access when there’s a power outage thanks to my ups. But if I tracked I’d be closer to 95%. Good enough but I can’t wait till I just don’t care to run anything.

    Ahh, chicken little the world is not cooked yet. But it’s close.

    When you have not enough food, when the water shortages start and when the world temps stay so high we can’t bear it, well then itll be to late to fight back.

    Good news is, the world will heal when the virus dies.
