  1. I have chosen not to decide. f**k it
  2. I don't bother with the cloud. I've got a 3 tiered system of backups here in the home office. Meaning at least** 3 copies of everything important. All on hard drives, that only get turned on for backup related activity. My thinking is that if there's a catastrophic event, while i'm grabbing my go-kit I'm also grabbing the 4 drives (copy 3) closest to the office door and storing them in the padded case ready to go. I have jobs scheduled to do nightly backups from my working copies to level (1) weekly, level (1) is copied to level (2). Monthly (last calendar Friday) level (2) goes to level (3). So the absolute worst thing that can happen is that I lose 1 month of work/stuff. Daily, if I f**k up my working copy of something...I just restore from level (1) or (2), depending on the mistake. All 3 levels are sets of 4 separate physical 8TB drives each. So 12 8TB drives. Which has grown from a mix of much smaller drives when i started this all. Is it perfect? No. But reliability and redundancy is good enough. Plus, I don't have to pay anyone for mind my data for me, and I'm in control. The drives were expensive, but they've been upgraded over time, and now I think I have enough room for 5 years of growth at least. Given that I'm already got probably 75%-80% of the stuff I ever want to preserve. 80% of what I'm storing is personal docs, the music collection, the photo/video collection, and historic/my own software. All of which is either irreplaceable, or extremely difficult to recreate. **At least means that for some stuff I also have an intraday copy, like a checkpoint a couple of times a day as a fail-safe. In case something goes boom before the nightly level (1) does it's thing.
  3. Ged and Al touring will not suck. And I've already advised my wife that some money may be spent on final Rush shows. She gets it. See you motherfrackers at Stout in NYC (for MSG)... or someplace closer to RCMH perhaps. Depending. I'm not so sure about P/G 40. I don''t want it to suck...but after SIG 40, who the f**k knows?
  4. Meanwhile the new BSG is back in the pipeline. All of this has happened before, and will somehow co-exist with Ron D Moore.
  5. If it's yellow, let it mellow.
  6. To this day he has a long f***ing memory for anyone who's ever mistreated him.
  7. Carrie Fisher and her mom Debby Reynolds come to mind.
  8. I also think that President Carter is not long for this world either. And his time just got shorter. He'll probably die of a broken heart. :(
  9. Me neither. I don't want a 'new' UI to learn. Enough already.
  10. At this point I suspect that a P/G 40 will be eclipsed by a First Record 50.... Though I have no idea how they could possibly provide anything new for Rush that wasn't there a decade ago.
  11. Gone at 72. He sang on their first record. https://consequence.net/2023/11/charlie-dominici-former-dream-theater-singer-dies/
  12. Is there even a point to any of this shit?
  13. Never talking, just keeps walking, spreading his magic....
