Or you drop something heavy nearby and the disk skips and aborts.

Very expensive mistake if you messed up the disk during the write period.

You could make new hardware, but realistically, it doesnt happen. The secrets get lost, the skills get lost, and the medium dies.

There is no chance that there is a working reader in a few thousand years time, let alone billions.

All that said, I agree that we need stable long term storage, my point is that billion year storage is just a fantasy spec. It looks good to investors, but doesnt hold up to reality.

Of course, but that is still a very long time.

360TB x 500Mb/s write == 73 days to write

Thats a long write time. Also, I have to assume that most of the read/write hardware can’t live that long, so that’s all a bit theoretical. They’ll stop producing the hardware shortly after selling all the discs.

Flexible, but Linux/macos predominantly. Jetbrains (CLion/RustRover). No specific plugins, JB IDEs are pretty good out of the box.

It fits up to a 4th order polynomial (going beyond 4th gets a bit silly), depending on the number of known pins.

Uses an apache math library to solve the best fit line.

Archery app. Basically zero users, and got purged from the play store earlier this year because I refused to jump through their hoops.

It was was meant for use with scopes, you would put in some distance and scope settings pairs into it, and it would fit a line allowing you to estimate intermediate scope settings.

It also had an AR mode, where you could save a targets GPS position, and get the distance and angle to the target, and the pin setting.

Sadly, never got any users. So its just for me now. And I deleted the AR stuff.

Did the international school charge you extra for punctuation?

ING works fine with no permissions.

Yeah, it was how my family transitioned to digital TV. USB tuner stick + windows media center. And then MS killed it.

If you want a media box, windows used to be a really good option. Back when windows media center was a thing. Not so valuable now though.

Sometimes it feels like a portion of the community views complexity as a badge of honour.

Its not this, it’s that there are very serious risks to self hosting (dataloss, hacks etc), and if they aren’t prepared for them, itll be catastrophic.

The gatekeeping isnt just for fun, there are actual risks and downsides.

As for prepackaging an appliance, we already have a model for how that plays out. There are millions of ISP provided routers and IoT things, and every other day there is a new breach involving them.

iPhones have locked bootloaders, and that likely will never change.

11-12 should be well tested. 12-13 should be well tested. 11-13 may work, but you may be the tester.

I’d step through one at a time.

Self hosting search engines is very hard. The scraping, indexing and storage requirements are immense. You could definitely self-host a front end (with your QoL improvements), but the back end search engines (Bing/Google/etc) will be able to track you all the same.

3-ball-Dave, can you come here for a minute, we need a scale for this fish brain

2. You telling me == transfer

3. I like your post == consideration

Thats a sale in California’s books.
