    I backup my primary data to my backup server which unfortunately is also at my house, but then to to the cloud. My VM's and photos are also sent to an immutable S3 bucket. 40TB local, and around 2-3TB in the cloud. I use Veeam for VM backups to lackblaze S3 which is cheap for the amount of...

    What TV shows are you currently watching

    Resident Alien. Alan tudyk plays the roles of the alien so well, I love the balance of humour vs story Wu-Tang: An American Saga Even if you don't like the music, the story and actors really bring to life to the struggles they had just trying to survive

    Does anyone here use Apple Pay for contactless payments around the UK?

    I have been left in a few annoying situations where I only have apple pay with me and have been stuck. Parking meters seem to not be compatible with Apply pay as they decline the payment, but a contactless card works perfectly.

    UPS

    In my experience APC runtime figures are a joke. I purchased an SMT1500R2I which is supposed to do 2 hours run time with my server load, but the run time drops to 40 minutes almost immediately, I had two replacements and they did the exact same thing. I'm convinced their runtimes are calculated...
