It’s a night you can freely walk round with a mask on

The commute is the key thing, not necessarily the job.

I thought all the landlords were selling up after the recent renter right changes?

You shouldn’t be saving with high street banks anyway. Use one of the aggregator sites that uses open banking to let you open savings accounts with most providers so you can move it around easily.

I use Hargreaves Landsdown, have both a cash ISA and standard savings acct with them. (From before they did cash ISAs)

The security guy they interview is on Masterdon here: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog

Baked in adds in podcasts etc

If you get Qobuz they pay for a 3rd party service to import your playlists. Did a reasonable job (mostly)

Moving the playlists across, even with the tool they provide is a bit of a pain, I’m still having to occasionally remove bad tracks

Is ring wing when they get so right ring they loop back round and become left wing again? 😆

In all seriousness, this is one of those things where I don’t understand why an MP hasn’t make a private members bill to un-prescribe the. It’s probably worth it for the press, even if it doesn’t succeed.

Used Target Process as my last place. Way nicer than Jira IMO

Yeh, the US opened Pandora’s box here. You can’t just close it again.

I assume this will be bonds, rather than buying stakes in the companies?

If you are going to use it enough to pay for it sure. But that’s always been the case.

The main benefits of cloud are it’s ability to scale quickly, it’s ability to provide geographic reach and the conversation of capex to opex.

They are backups, you potentially get copy’s of the data in multiple locations across continents.

BUT I agree, you are relying on them entirely for it. Lots of vendor tie in stuff in the industry unfortunately.

With some of the cloud providers, their built in backups are linked to the resource. So even if you have super duper geo-zone redundant backups for years, they still get nuked if you drop the server.

It’s always felt a bit stupid, but the backups can still normally be restored by support.

Sorry, brain fart moment.

I meant online only - the complete opposite of what I wrote …

I want to be able to upload files and have them stored on the server and only downloaded when needed (or if I mark them as always downloaded)

I don’t need or want everything on my laptop or phone (requires lots of storage!), but want to be able to get them easily when I do.

It doesn’t support offline online only files though. I can’t dump a few hundred GB on there and then access it from my phone etc

Could be by capacity maybe? Wouldn’t think the ports there are big enough for that either though.

It looks like an add
