Ah yeah makes sense if it’s not just for storing an offsite copy of backups like mine is.

Is using a VPS cost effective compared to uploading to object storage?

I use rclone to sync backups to Backblaze object storage. I find it hard to believe a VPS would be cheaper, considering the disk space on those can be very expensive compared to object storage.

I guess OPs question is more about what makes you comfortable.

Is your drive only big enough for 2 backups or is it big enough for hundreds? If it was half that size would you still be happy with the number of backups? A quarter of the size?

Back when I used OneDrive, it deleted an important but seldom used folder. It just wasn’t there anymore. No one noticed for 6 months, but luckily I had kept a backup each month so could restore it easily.

3 weeks is definitely not long enough for me to notice something missing, if it’s just a random chunk of my 700GB of important stuff. E.g. if a folder of my kids photos from 5 years ago suddenly disappeared, I probably wouldn’t notice it for months but would be devistated to find it missing when I eventually went looking for it.

Did you ever try it? Or is kombutcha just what they wrote on the label?

Unfortunately fediverse.observer went down about a day back. But there was a noticeable drop in Lemmy activity. From memory it went from 53k to 50k or something like that. Now you’re gonna ask “50k of what?”, well I don’t remember. Perhaps posts or comments.

I wanted to see per-instance but they didn’t seem to track daily stats per instance. And now it’s all gone 🙁

Would that count? Most of those faces are like a single pixel of detail from the stage.

My phone changes lenses automatically as I zoom the camera in and out. So I use them even though I’m not really actively choosing to use a different lens.

It pretty much always was?

It’s a tertiary source, so not appropriate for citing in your essays, but that isn’t a comment on the accuracy.

Just that first thing

Haha I get how they got to the name (it’s the foldable version of the 9 Pro) but yeah, it’s a stupid name and they must surely have been told that many times when going through processes to get the name approved internally.

9 sorry. My previous phone was a 7 so I mixed them up.

I’d be keen for one too. Earlier this year I bought a second hand Pixel 7 9 fold and I’ve been enjoying it.

You can buy it and I’ll buy it off you in a year for half what you paid 😋

Edit: 9 not 7

My phone tells me I have ∞ open.

I’m not sure how to easily count on my computer (firefox), I have vertical tabs on, I have to scroll, and many of the tabs are in collapsed groups…

And before you ask, yes all the tabs are important and necessary.

Interesting! I know if you look back at changes in my country you can see where someone has done a massive automated load of buildings (addresses as well as the actual shape of buildings) from data published by a government department, so I guess I’m quite privileged to have such good data. I’ve corrected some but it’s been at the level of it tagging a garage instead of the house, it’s always close to correct. The main issue I have is searching up a business by name, they are only in there 2/3 of the time, but I go and add them if they aren’t.

I feel very lucky!

When I put in an address it directs me straight to the right building. Sometimes I have to go on a place’s website to find that address but most of the time I can search by name.

Does your area need better Open Street Map data? Might need to contribute 🙂. I tend to write down anything that didn’t work so I can go and update it, but it’s clear there are many people in my area contributing.

Oh for sure, and Organic Maps was a fork too. Open Source is awesome 🙂.

I reckon whoever that team member was introducing them all to CoMaps is probably familiar with the Fediverse, and may even be watching us now 👀

This is really cool! Amazing for such a new project too. I love reading about all the work they are doing. Also scary that it takes 35 hours to run the map update 😆

So if I dive forward from a very low height I can briefly fly?

Andre the Giant has been dead for over 30 years so I’m not sure he can throw as far as you’re expecting.
