What are questions that will make it sound like I can afford a million euro house?
  • This is the correct answer. Don’t overthink this. Just go, have a look and that’s it. Tell everybody involved that you don’t have to proof anything if they ask.

    I know people who could afford this house easily that walk around like a regular farmer. Sales people having regular contact with wealthy people know this.

  • Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed
  • I’m the opposite: I migrated 2 4TB drives from my first NAS into the actual one. The drives are going strong and nearing ten years (!) of run time. Two out of eight drives died in this server since 2017. Both were newer. I’m not going to change a single disk before it dies. Most value for money in my opinion.

    But I can afford this „risk“: My server has a redundancy of 2 disks. It has a local USB backup, is mirrored to two remote servers in different locations with local backups as well.

  • Linux reaches 5.25% in Germany
  • Well what a intelligent decision it was to bombard people with ads in OSs that were paid for.

    I switched the day Microsoft clickbaited me into clicking on an ad while testing the new outlook with the paid 365 subscription I had. At this point I was having a constant stream small annoyances at least every week since Windows 7.

    My host is running Linux mint now and 365 was replaced by only office (since this seemed to be the most similar and compatible office package I found). Trouble free since January. Battery lasting twice as much. Zero work lost because of unexpected update reboots 👍🏼

    I’m so happy, I even bought a Steam deck to support Valve/Proton

  • Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners?
  • I agree. I maintained a dyson (I think it was a V6) for a couple of years. They are generally designed so well, it literally pokes your eye where they made the materials extra thin to break earlier (for example the pipe connection mechanism and the electrical connectors)

    I gave up when the main body started to break. Using a Philips now. Better in many ways but still far from perfect.

    The availability of spare parts is really good though for dysons. Lot of cheap stuff on Amazon and eBay. Buying a spare battery for the Philips for example is much harder.

  • Dino rule
  • I agree. I would expect any service holster to at least have some kind of a mechanical lock to prevent theft or an accidental drop of a gun.

    I have a cheap plastic holster that requires a button press with your index finger. You can do this while grabbing the handle and starting to pull the gun. When completely pulled out, your finger is then aligned near to the trigger for quick response times. That’s the system I expect a modern police to have. It’s really difficult to take the gun out when you’re not pulling from above from a natural position.

    I know the cops in the US have a very bad reputation but this can’t be true.
