This is what an OFFSITE backup is for.

Just went back through the episode and they some artificial trees may have less environmental impact if used for at least 5 years. However, some other things to consider, first where do you think the plastics in the artificial tree come from? That’s right, PETROLEUM! Also, artificial trees will end up in a landfill once they reach their end of life while a real tree is 100% biodegradable. Lastly, most artificial trees come from oversees (mostly China) whereas getting a live tree is a great way of supporting local businesses. Of course now that you have an artificial tree you’re better off using that as long as possible to minimize the environmental impact.

A properly watered tree is actually not very flammable.

The ecological damage of a single artificial tree vastly outweighs that of cutting down many trees (don’t remember the exact numbers). - Source

If you have Docker hand you can use my project Directory Lister to do just this quick and easily (Docker docs).

All the Portal characters, really. Cave, GLaDOS, Wheatly, Chell…

To be fair it was a third party partner, not Discord itself. But you of course knew that since you read the first sentence of the article.

One of Discord’s third-party customer service providers was compromised by an “unauthorized party”

Directory Lister is a perfect fit for this. Docker instructions here.

Now THAT’S some mental gymnastics!

As posted in another thread already…

There’s nothing wrong with Secure Boot and enabling it can prevent a small subset of attack vectors with no real downsides. That being said, the things Secure Boot does protect against aren’t likely to be an issue for most users but it’s nothing to be afraid of.

This looks like exactly what I’ve been searching for. Will try it out when I’m home.

I connect my primary and backup servers on 10G directly via a crossover cable for transferring ZFS snapshots. No actual 10G switches or anything at the moment but if I add any more servers I need to back up I’ll probably get a small 10G switch to put in between.
