    Tuxedo computers could be a good fit I think? It’s like system76, but from Germany. You can pick from a few OS including an Ubuntu fork they made ( tuxedo os ). You can tweak the laptop yourself ( different you/CPUs/disk sizes/… ) to fit your use case.

    Personally I’ve never bought there, but a friend of mine has and he’s happy with his purchase.

    Note: I do not work for them, or am affiliated with them in any way.

    But how am I supposed to prove my exorbitant salary if I can’t prove I’m doing something. If I don’t change anything they’ll realize I don’t do anything and can’t do anything! As for my next idea, we need to put ads in steam because everybody is doing it. And people should watch a promo video before their game starts because look at how successful YouTube is! I’m a genius for doing this. YOU ALL JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.

  • It’s a Jedi ship. It’s got a workbench with the materials and tools to build a lightsaber. Is it really that far fetched that she might store a kyber crystal in there somewhere as well?

    Or that she has a spare lying around in case she lost one of hers so she can build a new one?

    She even has huyang on board. Maybe they flew out and got some at one point. Maybe it’s a crystal from a lightsaber she collected from a Jedi that died.

    Maybe it’s from her original lightsaber.

    Plenty of plausible reasons why she could own another crystal.



  • If you create a new account you should have configured a root email address for it. That one should have received an email to login and set the initial password IIRC.

    You can get an estimate of what it’s going to cost by going to https://calculator.aws

    Upload to AWS shouldn’t really cost much, unless you’re sending a lot of API put requests. Since they are backups I’m going to guess the files are large and will be uploaded as Multi-Part and will probably invoke multiple API calls to do the upload.

    My suggestion would be to upload it to s3 and have it automatically transition to glacier for you using a lifecycle rule.

    Cost explorer would be your best bet to get an idea of what it’ll cost you at the end of the month as it can do a prediction. There is (unfortunately) not a way to see how many API requests you’ve already done IIRC.

    Going by the s3 pricing page, PUT requests are $ 0.005 per 1000 requests( N. Virginia ).

    Going by a docs example

    For this example, assume that you are generating a multipart upload for a 100 GB file. In this case, you would have the following API calls for the entire process. There would be a total of 1002 API calls. 
    

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/mpuoverview.html

    Assuming you’re uploading 10x 100gb according to the upload scheme mentioned above you’d make 10.020 API calls which would cost you 10 * 0.005= 0.05$.

    Then there would be the storage cost on glacier itself and the 1 day storage on s3 before it transitioned to glacier.

    Retrieving the data will also cost you, as well as downloading the retrieved data from s3 back to your device. If we’re talking about a lot of small files you might incur some additional costs of the KMS key you used to encrypt the bucket.

    I typed all this on my phone and it’s not very practical to research like this. I don’t think I’d be able to give you a 100% accurate answer if I was on my pc.

    There’s some hidden costs which aren’t Hidden if you know they exist.

    Note that (imo) AWS is mostly aimed at larger organisations and a lot of things ( like VMs ) are often cheaper elsewhere. It’s the combination or everything AWS does and can do so that makes it worth the while. Once you have your data uploaded to s3 you should be able to see a decent estimate in cost explorer.

    Note that extracting all that data back from s3 to your onprem or anywhere or you decide to leave AWS will cost you a lot more than what it cost you to put it there.

    Hope this helps!




  • Ugh. I don’t like i this evolution. Simple login is pretty handy to avoid jumping through hoops to unsub from companies.

    Recently had a site where I bought something once without having to register spamming me with Christmas mails. If I wanted to unsubscribe from the mailing list I had to register before I could unsub.

    Just deleting the simplelogin alias is a lot less work than unsubscribing is most of the time… And my actual email address isn’t leaking either so… Profit.




  • Can we boycot the companies that do this already. I get the AC IP is nice, I’ve certainly enjoyed my fair share of their games.

    But the ad industry is completely getting derailed. What’s next ? Watch a 15s promo video every time you want to open te fridge? Watch a promo video before you can open the door?

    Have your walls randomly show you ads?

    Stop buying their shit. Regardless of how decent the game is. Punish them for the predatory practices. Demand refunds.

    But no. People will likely be outraged, and then next game angry and then the next game they’ll suck it all up and complain about the good all days.
