That used to be my approach, but since I got symmetric 1Gb/s fibre I’ve found that if I leave it uncapped anything I download completes in a few minutes and I don’t download anything popular so I don’t have to worry about uploading too much.

No h on the end - just Jerboa

That was nearly 6 years ago!

I assume “data” includes your container configuration files in this strategy?

It should be obvious from the context here, but you don’t just need geographic separation, you need “everything” separation. If you have all your data in the cloud, and you want disaster recovery capability, then you need at least two independent cloud providers.

Well I learned something today - I always thought PNG was lossey.

# docker compose up -d
no configuration file provided: not found

Well, that wasn’t a huge investment :-) I’m in…

I understand I’ve got LOTS to learn. I think I’ll start by installing something new that I’m looking at with docker and get comfortable with something my users (family…) are not yet relying on.

I’m on starlink too. Bell recently ran fibre by my front door but I won’t be switching when they come knocking. During hurricane Fiona my starlink kept working as long as I gave it power. Bell took 2 months to get out and repair my neighbours downed phone line! If the fibre was in the ground I’d switch, but I don’t want my internet coming through 50km of rickety poles along tree lined roads.

I’m writing this from a hotel room paid for by Air Canada - but wow did I have to fight for it!

First flight of two leg journey was delayed and the original announcement was that it was delayed due to a mechanical issue. I knew I had a tight connection so checked with Air Canada staff - they assured me that if I missed my connection they would put me in a hotel until the next available flight. After about an hour delay they announced that they had discovered bird strike damage and we would be delayed further.

When I arrived at the connection airport I was told there would be no hotel as the delay was due to a bird strike and therefore out of their control. I was tired and cranky and went full “Karen mode” asked to speak to managers, explained what I was told at the original airport and finally got a hotel voucher.

I wonder if there is publicly available data on the incidence of aircraft bird strikes? I wonder if they are increasing? I’m not cynical…
