Nothings more painful to lose a loved one.

Random stuff. I would love to get a light jacket for the season...

Just finished ordering up a new phone. Galaxy S24+.

 

[Steven58]

It's Anker, which is good quality. I just want to be safe-ish while driving.

A lawnmower blade and Chinese takeout.

 

[olbriar]

I'm trying to figure out how those two items go together @Clementine_3

Ya gotta dice that chicken somehow

And, off topic but not really, the mower blade is sitting on the counter and now I have a real need to watch Billy Bob whack Dwight.
Sling Blade's not streaming anywhere and I have nothing to play the DVD on! Dagnabbit.

Why am I suddenly hungry for mustard and biscuits

Thanks for the reminder, I need to order a new lawnmower blade.

 

[treb1797]

Lawnmower got all new goodies : blade, filter, oil, and sparkplug.

I ordered two new spare tubes for my bike. I just replaced a tube on my bike with one of the two tubes I had as spares. The other tube had a hole in it straight out of the box. Needless to say, I ordered a different brand this time.

.....The other tube had a hole in it straight out of the box......

Where are the tubes made?

 

[olbriar]

Where are the tubes made?

The tubes are near impossible to find local so they were ordered from Amazon. The two that I had (one installed and one with a hole) were Kenda brand made in China. The brand I just ordered are Mongoose brand. I did a google search to see where they were made and found no quick answer beyond most tubes are made by Kenda, Innova, or Cheng Shin Tire Co.

I ordered a 2-bay Synology NAS and two 12 TB Seagate Ironwolf drives for it. We have a 4-bay NAS here at the house... but I don't like the idea of having a backup at the same location. Our former tax-deduction son has graciously offered to host the new one as a secure remote backup. I'll do the initial data dump here to save bandwidth: after that, only incremental backups will be done over the web.

At the Data Center we use to host our gaming server, they used multiple remote backup servers due to hackers. The Administrator told me one time he loaded Windows NT on a server, and it got hacked before he could load the updates

Big shock there! Synology has a feature called Snapshot Replication, with immutable versions, that allows me to go back in time to just before a hack or data wipe and restore the files like nothing ever happened. Because the snapshots are immutable, they can't be changed or deleted.

I wonder if that would work with the computers that get frozen with ransomware?

I wonder if that would work with the computers that get frozen with ransomware?

If the UEFI* or OS gets corrupted to the point that a user can't get to the desktop or web browser, the only real solution is to nuke the entire drive; reinstall the OS (I would use a new drive and not trust that the ransomware hadn't infected the drive's MBR) and then restore programs & files from the NAS. If the UEFI is corrupted, it's going to take someone with more expertise than I have to fix it.

*- I don't know why they changed something as easily pronounceable as "BIOS" with something like "UEFI", that doesn't flow off the tongue. Therefore, I pronounce it "weefy"... if they can make it unpronounceable, I reserve the right to correct it
