  • 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.






  • Been alive for a few decades. Every time I think maybe I would enjoy a newsletter from this content creator/website I like, it could be good? I always end up unsubscribing. Not sure who they are made for and whether the metrics they see support using that tactic.

    I see people on YouTube that clearly don’t know how to use notifications (or have too many) asking why they missed a new video when it released and I think to myself, why would I watch it on the authors convenience instead of mine? That would be going back to TV. Maybe I’m just too old and too young at the same time.






  • 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…








  • Why do people call him Jimmy so often? We don’t know him. He signs MB on his merch so it seems unnecessary.

    True that if the guy making accusations does not have proof, it will be a pretty shit position to be in. I have seen other creators giving him the benefit of the doubt based on their experiences collaborating Mr. Beast though, so it’s kind of early to tell. And the illegal lottery accusations seem pretty straight forward to prove based on archived videos circulating.

    Edit: reworded first few sentences.
