And hardware that you are willing to make suffer…

I have old 500 gb drives from 2009 that i ripped out of beaten laptops still working 24/7 and i’ve had new drives grenade themselfs two weeks in use, there are too many factors to properly gauge how long of a life a drive has, the best option is to have backups, even something as simple as a copy on a flash drive is better than nothing.

I get people saying follow the 3-2-1 rule, but there are places like mine where storage is prohibitively expensive, so just do what you can, anything is better than nothing in this cases.

I’m studying engineering, so i’ll take smarts, we all know that anyone in this field ends up bald by some mystical force anyways

Mainly linux but i have windows for when i need to scan something or run programs that won’t start trough wine. Mainly the driver for my hp printer since scanning doesnt work with hplip

I think the options may be either:

An ecotank, the problem with them is that it doesnt respect the last point, since if it’s not used in a while the ink it’s going to dry and clog the print head, but i’ve seen some pretty good prints coming out of them+ on aliexpress you can get ink + other bits for cheap

A brother mfc, if i remember correctly there where color laser variants, the problem with them is cost and size, if i remember correctly they are office printers, space was not taken in cosideration when they where desined, so they are huge compared to standard printers + the ink cartriges are expensive, but last forever, i’m not sure if you can find cartiges on aliexpress, toner refills are more likely, but can be very messy and requiring cutting a hole in the cartriges, and i’ve found out that for the b/w toner printers it’s the most economical way of getting ink for them

Sorry for the length of the comment.

are you ready to wear one?

I’m ready to make an elton john style jacket full of infrared leds

I’ve always been searching for the time to learn python, but between uni and work i wake up at 5 and go back home at 10; + they where not going to pay me for this fix

Tldr; couldn’t be fucked to study a whole other language in my nonexistent free time for a fix that they wouldn’t pay me for anyways

Don’t ever attempt to use regex for scraping.

Proceeds to implement a scraper in bash with grep and awk because it’s the only way i know how to

Tasks are one of the few things i still do on paper, to me it’s like reading a book; ya just cant beat the feeling of paper; also you can’t just close the app; it will remain hanged on the wall, judging you from afar

Either a baggy as ass tracksuit or camo shorts with band t shirt

Bring as many npcs in the room as possible; then wait for the social anxiety to make me lock up

Considering the sheer amount of microplastics we are pouring in the ocean collectively, we may lose but after a while we are still going to bring them down with us.

The chorus of this masterpiece, enough to be funny without going too mutch over the edge.

To be honest i’d prefer it to be there at all considering the current trend of removing it.

But to answer your question, jack on top, so when the phone is plugged in the wall you can stay on the other side since the headphone cable wont be bent

Yesterday i started playing custom doom wads at night because i wanted to see what new mods where available and lo and behold; i saw the sun rise.

5 mbps for 18€/month… Fuck this I’m switching back to pidgeons.

The problem is that i didn’t mean to write to the hdd, but to a usb stick; i typed the wrong letter out of habit from the old pc.

As for the hard drives, I’m already trying to do that, for bigger files i just break them up with split. I’m just waiting until i have enough disks to do that.

I’m trying to do that; but all of the newer drives i have are being used in machines, while the ones that arent connected to anything are old 80gb ide drives, so they aren’t really practical to backup 1tb of data on.

For the most part i prevented myself from doing the same mistake again by adding a 1gb swap partition at the beginning of the disk, so it doesn’t immediatly kill the partition if i mess up again.

Unfortunately to do backups i need the money to buy a drive to do backups on; most of my pcs are literally made out of scrap parts from broken machines.
