It’s kinda wild that for home NAS backups it’s still cheaper to buy a low-end Synology with a big-ass HDD, put it somewhere != home, and backup to it.
Famously-cheap Backblaze B2 is $144 / yr for 2 TB. A Synology DS124 is less than $200 and 4 TB HDDs are less than $100. Two years & you’re ahead. Add more TBs & it’s even faster. Of course, it’s even cheaper if you’re willing to fiddle w/ Raspberry Pis.

Had a great date night with C - No pressure, just love and laughs. Her demeanour changed again though when we got home. We’re doing quite the renovation on our home and she’s really struggling with all the mess and upheaval. It stresses me too but I’m not a dick about it. When I’m home with her I find myself saying to myself ‘I’m not going to allow you to mistreat me’. I’m starting to call her out on her inappropriate behaviour. How do I keep attracting this kind of woman?

There is a good video in the article but I’ll post my favourite.
Our new (temporary home) is the City of Emeryville. Emeryville has a population of almost 13,000 people. The apartment complex we live in has about 400 units (my own estimate, I might be off), and I estimate that they have about 2 people on average in each. Assuming that about 90% of the apartments are occupied, this single apartment complex would constitute between 5% and 10% of the population of the whole city.

Know one thing I've not missed about working from home full time?
The "meeting after the meeting", where folk linger outside of the room they just got booted out of to continue to excitedly discuss the topic at hand.
Mostly, this was done a couple of feet from my desk, several times a day, no matter where I sat because meeting rooms were everywhere "for convenience".
And no, noise cancelling headphones don't help.

A team of pro-Trump operatives breached Coffee County’s election office in January 2021 in an effort to find data to support their false claims that the election.'
