You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

Can’t have depression if your entire day is consumed by worrying about your next meal…

Everything past making a call is awful

Making a call doesn’t work on a random browser selection that changes every time the thing is updated. It also takes about half a minute to complete a call. And the audio quality is significantly worse than in meetings.

And the most interesting, the brokeness doesn’t apply to attending meetings. Those have completely independent broken cases.

Honestly, there isn’t any single thing in Teams that just works properly.

That!

That’s what is missing to close the loop back into depression!

Until sites start disallowing youbikeys because it doesn’t make it impossible for you to backup your keys…

What is planned to happen.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

That’s mostly because too few people use them.

It’s a 90° angle for a reason.

Changing to some random angle may have sense for some theory, but it’s not the Furrier transformation.

And no, the waves have 0 width. The widths on the drawing are for illustration purposes.

O Sensacionalista.

Brazil had an Onion clone that published satirical news, when the news were actually funnier than their version, they would just go and publish the real news.

Too bad it went bankrupt during the Bolsonaro’s government.

I have to say, mirroring that image improved it greatly.

Well, some times Ukraine is on the way.

who will keep the shipping lanes free of piracy?

You know the US isn’t patrolling the shipping lanes they don’t use right?

Also, no, they never managed to keep the shipping lanes free of piracy.

Of course. The name written on the map is what was keeping that huge inflation there on the US at 2%/y.

When every market is a monopoly or a well consolidated oligopoly, you start to get that kind of issue.

Governments are the ones that actively created that one monopoly, if they just stopped maintaining it, it would simply disappear.

You do one of those to maintain you society civilized, and the other to make your society civilized.

Wow, that shit is expensive!

On the legal, metrological, or morphological sense?

All the best architects from the middle of the 20th century used concrete heavily because it got new properties and they were seeing what artistic expression they could get with it.

So, all the copy-cats from the middle to the end of the 20th century used concrete heavily on the most stupid way. There’s no conspiracy there, just incompetence.

You don’t stir lasagna.
