Raid often comes with snapshots which can recover from your mistakes. Often the raid can even recover after malware encryhts your disk. you still need offline, offsite backups for the best protection but raid is still a useful part of your data safe

I like the legacy plan I’m on. I don’t get netflix included - but I never use that anyway, and meanwhile I get more data for the same price.

The romans made leap day Feburary 24th, and renumbered the days following that. So you are not asking the right question.

i last looked into this about 20 years ago. I concluded I could make it work but I don’t use wine enough to bother.

Sure, when linux loads are process it follows a standard procedure to see how to run the file. If the file has ELF markers it runs the process via the ELF loader. If the file has #! as the first then it uses a different process to run that script. (I doubt a.out executable format is supported anymore, but that at least used to be an option). There is no reason you cannot hack this process to detect windows executable and then use wine to load/run the application. I’m not sure why nobody has done this, but the basic things have been supported in linux for decades.

depends on many variables so there can never be a simple rule. Airlines want their planes full of paying customers is the real rule. They change prices based on how full each plane is. Sometimes a nearby city can be orth heading to for a much better deal.

Only if you have some individuals with [cancer or whatever] resistance though.

Where I live eaectric is 100% wind. with that and solar many places have a significat renewable Part. Even in the worst case fossil fuels are 2 or 3 times more efficent than a car engine.

A terminal is something like a DEC model Vt220, or IBM 3270. These are physical machines with a keyboard, and a display. Most often the display was a CRT, but some were just a printer, I supposed some must have had a LCD but I’ve never seen one. A few did have a mouse, but that was rare. They might look like a computer, but they do not have a CPU (or they do but the CPU is very under powered). The point is you can have 100 cheap (cheap as in 4x the cost of a modern PC, without factoring in inflation) terminals connecting to an expensive powerful computer (expensive as in millions of not inflation adjusted dollars, powerful as in a modern smart phone is faster by nearly any measure). Every terminal had some special commands that programs could use to do something more fancy than plain text, but different ones had different abilities.

These days a powerful PC is cheaper than any terminal could be and vastly more powerful than those old computers, so it doesn’t make sense to have one except as a collectors item. However terminals themselves did leave a useful of program design. Most command line programs know how to control a terminal to do some pretty printing. Thus we often use terminal emulators which let our computer pretend to be one of those old terminals. The DEC vt100 for whatever reason ends up being the most commonly emulated terminal when someone says terminal emulator - there really was a model vt100 terminal at one time.

Note that a web browser counts as a terminal emulator by the above definition. Nobody thinks of them that way, but they fit.

you will often find the best bet is figure out what niche that city needs. Many cities have a specalty that is unique.

what is your goal? Are you planning on moving to a different city and employeer every year, or just want to settle down in aspecific place?

there are lots of jobs. However some places have specifit needs. Some jobs can be worked remote from anywhere. Some jobs depend on word of mouth so you can’t move after getting the skills.

You miss family and friends. Is it worth it?

there is good about anywhere, so your question depends on you and what you make of where you end up. I personally find Iowa higher cost of living then Illinios despite all the calculators showing opposite, but that is how my lifestyle fits so may not appay toyou.

Mostly they are the same people.

expense. I don’t have it now and don’t miss it.

i had heated water on that last one as well. Unlike the heated seat I don’t miss it. You can get it if you want, but I don’t reccomend it.

Some have heated seats. I had it before, and now don’t, I don’t miss it even though it was nice. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Nothing. I hate debt. I have a house payment as for me it is a better deal than rent, but i’m not happy. I’ll probably get a car loan when the id.buzz comes here, but i’ll hate it.

Debt that makes money work for you is okay, but most doesn’t do that and is a bad deal. I have no interest in running a business, and if you don’t make money because of it, debt cannot work for you. (I.could pay cash for a.tiny home in middle of nowhere places that I prefer not to live)

Side one thinks Ketchup is spicy enough. The other side laughs at them, but they don’t understand how much spices hurt side one. This is genetic as far as I can tell - it isn’t just you get used to spices if fed them as a kid which side two seems to think.

Pulling utilities is not that expensive. Sure it is tens of thousands ,but in a development it is nearly that much, you just don’t realize it as those costs are bundled in. You get some of that back because rural areas allowed manufactured houses which are cheaper. (Careful, there are good manufactured houses, but the industry has earned their terrible reputation)

Once you live there though you can vote to disband the hoa. Read the bylaws carefully and consult with a lawyer to see what local and state laws are (remember too you can change those laws and make hoa provisions you don’t like invalid).

I only once lived under a hoa. I agreed because I had it in writing I could keep up to five cows on my property. (Not that o did, but it was allowed)
