Great points, as someone who is very happy with their current home automation and services, checking in the config files to a git repo was the critical step. Also backup volumes since many containers tend to store state in some binary or internal DB. At the very least try restoring the config to verify you have what’s needed. The containers should start even if they have no media on it.

In terms of tinkering not being fun anymore. That’s okay, sometimes you need a break.

A point that is sometimes not brought up enough in my opinion is to plan for loses. What can you afford to lose if you can’t backup everything (due to price, etc.)? config files and photos or personal data are relatively small (compared to something like a media library) and should be prioritized.

Not to mention companies and their software (especially older versions) are commonly hacked. If there was a vulnerability, how long did my phone provide the hackers with unlimited access to those features to have them possibly try to extort me in real life.

Why wouldn’t you want to share your fitness data with the company that will sell it to the company setting your health “insurance” premiums?

I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.

That’s correct, there are some respected engineering channels that specifically mention this is why different models of the same EV require different charging behavior per the manufacturer’s manual. The battery compositions are different and have different densities and characteristics.

Edit: although it’s possible some models could share the exact same battery model and have some software restriction in place.

Thought you were gonna say Russia n.g.l. (based on what’s been seen in the recent military special operation)

Seems fair. I was just wondering since I was considering vault warden or keypass + sync thing.

How do you handle (and test) backups?

That’s probably the amount of time remaining before they move on to selling the next tech buzz word to some suckers.

The saddest part is the beefy 5 layer burrito being what people that worked at Taco Bell would order and ask for it grilled for a reasonable cheap meal to now resulting in “WTF is there any ground beef here? WTF is there real cheese? Are these ‘beans’ safe to consume?”

Edit: my friend who previously worked there when in college asked if it was even beans on the thing…
