Don’t look at Backblaze drive reports then. WD is pretty much all good, Seagate has some good models that are comparable to WD, but they have some absolutely unforgivable ones as well.
Not every Seagate drive is bad, but nearly every chronically unreliable drive in their reports is a Seagate.
Personally, I’ve managed hundreds of drives in the last couple of decades. I won’t touch Seagate anymore due to their inconsistent reliability from model to model (and when it’s bad, it’s bad).
If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it.
That's exactly what it does. I got the prompt on my system, I said no, and it said ok and everything proceeded on like normal.
I've always wondered - and figured here is a good a place to ask as anywhere else - what's the advantage of object storage vs just keeping your data on a normal filesystem?
Also most people who have only used Windows, bought their computers with Windows pre-installed, where the manufacturer loaded a custom Windows image that already has all of their drivers installed and configured. So it's not just that they've never used Linux before, they've often never actually installed any operating system from scratch on any computer and had to deal with the setup process.
Not too long ago I was messaging with someone who kept complaining that Linux was taking HoUrS to get drivers configured and how it clearly wasn't for them because Windows "just works". Meanwhile I'm sitting there thinking of the last time I installed a Linux distro on a machine it took a few minutes to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers and I was done, while the last time I installed Windows on a machine it took ~4 hours to get all of the drivers loaded properly, including blacklisting the f*****g Windows Update utility so it would stop trying to replace my network driver with a broken version that kept taking down the network connection on the machine, and the insanity of having to update, reboot, update, reboot, update, reboot, update, reboot over and over again for half a day until finally all the updates are actually installed and running.
Yes it's a common phrase. If an apple costs $2, and you have 10 apples, then you have $20 worth of apples.
Trying to find common ground between the rational and the batshit insane, is a futile endeavor.
I agree option 1 is the correct choice, though it does appear they are slowly going that direction…
Really? Because every new Windows version is even worse than the one before it. There are now 3? 4? different places to change network settings, but only one of them actually works correctly, if you modify the wrong one it will act like it worked but will silently break all networking on the machine instead.
If they can charge 30% less without Apple's fees, then why are their prices the same whether you buy on their iOS app or direct on their website? Why have they been overcharging users who don't buy through the iOS app by 30% all this time?
Just FYI - you're going to spend far, FAR more time and effort reading release notes and manually upgrading containers than you will letting them run :latest and auto-update and fixing the occasional thing when it breaks. Like, it's not even remotely close.
Pinning major versions for certain containers that need specific versions makes sense, or containers that regularly have breaking changes that require you to take steps to upgrade, or absolute mission-critical services that can't handle a little downtime with a failed update a couple times a decade, but for everything else it's a waste of time.
How about Dawarich?

I haven't used it myself, but I have it in the backlog of things to try out
To be fair, I don't know either. I mean he's supposed to, and he swore an oath to, but if nobody is going to enforce that then must he really? What happens if/when he doesn't?
Near the peak of the NFT craze I was gifted (as part of an initial mint) an NFT, which I turned around and immediately sold for $3k. Last I looked it was worth about $200. That's the extent of my experience with NFTs.
