I think I decoded that as: "I love/like how accessible it makes that wording/writing like this!" (Assuming m2s was meant as “makes” — did I get it right?)
It's incredibly ironic how accessibility is about going the extra mile to make things more accessible, and then people turn it into a weird acronym that only insiders understand, in an effort to avoid typing another 9 letters
That's an insightful question about Greenland, which Denmark desperately wanted to retain in the 1950s to the extent of unilaterally making it a 'part' of the Kingdom without consulting the Greenlanders.
Ironically it was only Belgium that spoke out, based on its own colonial dirty laundry.
Yes, the specification will be finalized with version 1.10. Previous versions also include specification changes. Iceberg's implementation of V3 occurs in three stages: Specification Change, Core Implementation, and Spark/Flink Implementation.
So far only Variant is supported in Spark and with 1.10 Spark will support nano timestamp and unknowntype I believe.
What about backups? My greatest fear is self-hosting valuable stuff (like family photos) only for my NAS to fail one day and lose potentially everything.
There are good options. Borg, rsync.net with zfs send/recv. Storage boxes from Hetzner
Hard to make a particular recommendation as backing up to the cloud is a popular option but depends on your upload speed and rate of data change. And depends how much you're willing to spend for what tradeoff
Storage box from hetzner is great. Hetzner is a good company, I'm glad that I'm doing business with them. The service is good, cheap, reliable, and... Un-american which means it would probably stay good and won't enshitify.
Use Hetzner! I'm not affiliated just a happy customer.
i use hetzner too, and I like their current services. But I think we all do good in never assuming or relying on ANY company being our friends. Be vigilant
I keep important data on a zpool that's mirrored across 2 drives, I snapshot it nightly, zfs send/receive the snapshot a drive on a different machine, and run a borgmatic/borg backup to borgbase 3 times a week. I also run a scrub on it quarterly.
I remember one (might have been a hn-er's comment, dunno) about the computer restarting when the toilet was flushed. Turns out it was due to voltage drop when a compressor turned on to refill the reservoir of the toilet.
That's why in rural locales with spotty power it pays to have a UPS on any electronics -- you might not benefit much from 15-30 minutes of extra power in a day long blackout, but it keeps everything happy when the voltage fluctuates.
