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.

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.

The Wright Brothers did not know everything about flying, physics, engines, etc. They knew enough to do it, and did. In the years since we have written millions more pages and tried so many more things that if I want to fly, I don’t need to reinvent the airplane. This is the superpower of humanity, we don’t have to reinvent every time.

We all know enough about capitalism, socialism, etc. to act. Instead we prefer to sit and wank longer about the best possible society; meaning all we can do is endlessly talk about the best possible society.

The only way to actually build one is to learn what’s needed and act. Who cares what label it has, who cares if the theory is sound or not. If it doesn’t work in practice, you iterate forward.

I’m not going to reply to any more stupidity in here. Go theorize all you want. I’ll just leave one comment.

Otherwise it’s like saying you want to be able fly without developing theories of physics, aerodynamics, and internal combustion engines.

Check a history book, that’s precisely how we started flying.

these are not two sides. The system is working as some intend so needs to be dismantled, at least large parts of it, to fix it.

People always forget, nuance exists.

The problem is, masculinity has been turned into a performative art these days. To the culture obsessed with masculinity, you have to fall in line, wear the clothes, support the right people…. What they don’t get is that this is the least masculine behavior possible.

Seriously, look at the “masculine” types, they all are groomed, their trucks are all spotless, they go to work and sit in the same chairs as the rest of us; but think their fascist adjacent clothing makes them look tough. I see nothing but insecure manchildren.

D’oh, came here to post this. You win :).
