Same, been kicking myself since I found out it was all gone a few weeks ago. Don’t know why I didn’t make a ‘just in case’ backup / export.

Still infuriating they can just go “oops all gone”. It came through the roll-out fine, I remember looking stuff up in February. As far as I can tell it was a later unrelated glitch.

Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user’s timeline data if you didn’t immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn’t keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.

Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn’t have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.

I’m sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.

The moons of Jupiter and Saturn were called satellite planets from their discovery until sometime in the 20th century.

The first several asteroids were called planets, until enough were discovered that the term ‘asteroid’ was invented and they were renamed.

The first Kuiper belt objects were called planets, until enough were discovered that it turns out Pluto is mostly just a particularly reflective example.

That’s very heliocentric of you.

The definition of ‘planet’ has changed a lot in the last few millennia.

Pluto was not the first 9th planet. Then again we were up to 13(?) at one point.

Planet has never been very well delineated. The Sun was a “planet”. Ceres was a “planet”.

When we find enough things to break up the classification, we make a new classification. Like “asteroid” or “dwarf planet” or “gas giant”.

It’s a slider from 50% to 100%.

Probably a me problem but kept having problems with that docker on unraid, it’s just in the community apps ‘store’. The vm seemed to just crash randomly.

I switched over to their B2 storage and just use rclone to an encrypted bucket and it’s ~<$5/mo which I’m good with. Biggest cost is if I let it run too often and it spends a bunch of their compute time listing files to see if it needs to update them.

You don’t even have to show the gold. Just say you saw it and it’s now in that tent over there. No you can’t go in. This is what was written on it though. Oh it’s in a language only I can read. Don’t worry, I’ll translate. Give me your wife.

Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.

Well he’s Finnish, but I don’t think he’s finished yet.

Yeah lack of third spaces and class mixing is big. Everyone is segregated into their own existing (shrinking) in groups, that then get concentrated by the webiverse.

The 70s oil crisis was an inflection point for Europe and a lot of cities/countries started moving back away from cars as the sole transportation option but the US didn’t have the same reaction.

Yes. Even with Plex I’ve had people just never log in. Or after I log them in and set it as a favorite they just never go to the unfamiliar icon.

Most of the problem isn’t even Plex/Jellyfin/etc.'s fault, it’s that the UI of smart tvs is a nightmare hellscape running on underpowered hardware and people just want to interact with it as little as possible. The absolute best thing would be to copy Netflix/Disney/etc and throw a QR code on the screen to sidestep that by throwing authentication to the phone.

And a 4tb SSD is the same price as a 16tb HDD.

If that trend continues, when you get to a 100tb of SSD(s) the equivalently priced HDD(s) will have 100x the capacity.

Yeah that’d be brutal on the battery chemistry, probably need a wired sensor. Doesn’t get that cold here but was having similar issues in the negatives. Unfortunately there seem to be less options and they’re more expensive for wired last I looked, but it’s been awhile.

FWIW with zigbee I’ve had better luck with zigbee2MQTT and then using MQTT. If nothing else it made it a lot clearer what was/wasn’t a router and what was just and end device than the native zigbee integration. ( I was getting very frustrated with a less capable no-neutral wall switch. )

Might just be placebo but it feels like there are cheaper/longer batterylife zigbee sensors than there are zwave.

The GaN ones are if you care about size and power. Their dock is basically a high quality laptop dock, and priced equivalently, plus it’s custom shaped to hold the deck.

For a deck that’s just sitting there plugged in all the time yeah not a big deal / worth it.

Perfect use case
