Nooo. It takes a lot more fuel to get to the sun than it does it get out of the solar system.

I know it sounds counterintuitive.

I think it's because investments make money but money itself loses value due to inflation.

If you have $100 you won't see much value loss in a year. If you have a million you are losing thousands just on inflation.

That whole story was never proven. Plenty of people say really crazy stuff for money.

I recently looked at building a new PC. RAM was half the cost. The price of RAM went absolutely mental.

I use fastmail for a small company, not for my personal stuff. The cost is reasonable, their setup instructions are clear, I've never had a single issue.

The effort is reputation checks on the services you sent mail to. All the big providers do their own things in secret and have a habit of marking anything that isn't from another big provider as spam. If you relay outgoing mail though some well known service much more of your mail gets through but it's still not perfect.

Setting up postfix, imap, rspamd, a dns resolver, SPF, DKIM, isn't the hard part. The hard part is that you can do everything perfectly and Gmail or Microsoft could still silently drop your mail or send it to spam.

True. But sociopath doesn't mean stupid and the biggest problem seems to be stupid and self-defeating decisions made by these manager types.

I really don't want to sound cynical, but I've been in industry for many years now and can only agree with you. I've always wondered if this was due to business schools, human nature, or western culture.

Just maybe there is a country where managers are competent at the things they manage.

Is Google aware what the date is?

I see what you did there.

Cold.

I really don't think most RAID implementations check data as it's read so won't catch random bit flips. It protects against known failed devices, which seem to be the majority of issues we see in practice.

RAID Z does check checksums if you are on ZFS.

The objective isn't to create happier healthier dogs, it's to create biological weapons from dogs.

To be fair they were also bumbling about incompetently when they did QA testing.

It's true. At best a VPN or firewall on a endpoint OS is a promise from that OS to behave correctly. A promise from Windows isn't worth much.
