How are you managing off-site backups?

I'm using Hetzner too, only via sync from proxmox backup server instead of rclone.

Droonituotanto Suomeen vai Ukrainaan? Yhteistyösopimus herättää turvallisuuskysymyksiä
Vähän nyt outo lähestymiskulma asiaan. Ei se Putin tänne hyökkää vaikka droneja täällä valmistettaisiinkin, eiköhän tuo nyt naapurissakin ymmärretä että hyökkäys EU- ja natomaata kohtaan ei ole se voittava kortti. Joku yksittäinen terrori-isku on tietysti mahdollinen, mutta eipä nuo nykyisetkään Patrian tai muiden laitokset ole olleet kohteina, vaikka sieltä kalustoa virtaakin Ukrainaan.
Paras malli olisi varmaan pistää linjastot pystyyn kumpaankin maahan ja hoitaa yhdessä (vaikka yhteisen konsernin kautta) raaka-aine ja muut hankinnat, jolloin molemmat maat saavat kalustoa mahdollisimman tehokkaasti.

Finland tried to end homelessness. What can we learn from its runaway success – and recent failures?
Reply in thread
Also, as there's no standardized way to count these, Finland with mandatory conscription has a crapload of expenses which aren't included in miltary expenses. In current global situation I don't think increasing expenses was a wrong call and it's not purely black and white, there's also at least some jobs to finns trough the investments, but I'd say that our money would've been better spent to something else than US and Israel tech as (specially USA) has not been really reliable partner.
But also the reality is that even without those expenses our budget has been negative for quite a while, so something had to be done. I'm not saying that current government had the best actions, and they have objectively made things worse on some places, but just waiting for a miracle wouldn't have worked either. But that's a whole another discussion.

You know, give him enough rope…
There's plenty of stuff for him to tie his own noose. There's also plenty of things for others to do that, but for whatever reason Epstein files, voter fraud, tax fraud and all kinds of other frauds, destroying of historical buildings without permit, illegal tariffs, illegal war and all the rest of illegal and/or questionable things he's made have had practically no consequences.
In any other country such a politician would be in jail or at very least out of the office, but apparently in the land of the free and the brave that's just fine for law enforcement, judges, senate and what/whoever else who could stop the madness.

Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful
Reply in thread
My brain reads those as 'thee', or however that old English should be written (thee, thou, thy..), so the image is that someone pretty pompous Englishman from 1700s with a powdered wig found fediverse.
Plus I tested those on duck.ai just for fun and it has absolutely no trouble of reading the thorns, so it only makes reading harder for other humans, specially for us whose native language isn't English.

Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence

didn’t he break into a network closet and patch directly into their servers?
No. He placed a computer in a unlocked network closet and used that to download a bunch of data from JSTOR (which he had acces to, and a lot of the data is public domain anyways) and kinda-sorta caused DDoS attack against the service. Prosecution then slapped him with a shitload of federal charges which (in my opinion) were largely at least massively exaggerated if not straight made up. Threat of 50 year jail sentence and million(s) in fines then pushed him to take his own life.
Wikipedia has pretty detailed info about him and the whole case.

Cheap laptop recommendation
Reply in thread
I've been using refurbished business laptops, thinkpads spesifically, for at least a decade. Both for business and for personal use. They just work and at least in here you can get pretty good deals from companies which re-sell previously leased machines. For some I've upgraded RAM and/or storage drive, but that 300-400€ gets you something far better than a new Acer from grocery store aisle. And reputable vendors even offer some kind of warranty even on used machines.
Other brands might work just fine too, but as I've had thinkpads since the brand was owned by IBM I've just stuck with them. T, W and X series are all pretty solid. And there's a reason why you don't see Acer or other consumer brands on refurbished market.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.
Remember how few years ago there was a massive outcry when U2s album was downloaded to devices without permission?

New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles
Team expects, may be useful, could be used, prototype, are currently investigating and so on. Cool piece of technolgy, but no even mention when they'd expect that to be commercially available, if it's even possible to manufacture in commercial scale. Like many other new battery chemistries and technologies, it shows promise and makes a good headline, but at this point that's pretty much it.

Woman fined £150 for pouring coffee down drain
Based on the title alone I thought that she was a barista who poured hundreds of liters of coffee down the drain or something which might make sense. But no, just the last sip on her cup in order to prevent it from spilling in the bus or causing problems in the trash bin. Do they fine people if they accidentally drop their full cup too?

This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period
"This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for INSTALLING apps without verification". Sideloading is such a bullshit term made only to confuse consumers. They can wrap that in sparkling wrapper, but it's still security theater at best and definetly misleading. Apps from F-Droid or any other app 'store' are not any less safe than the ones at googles own offering.
