Computers Are Bad ☛ 2024-02-11 the top of the DNS hierarchy
In the past (in fact two years ago, proof I have been doing this for a while now!) I wrote about the "inconvenient truth" that structural aspects of the Internet make truly decentralized systems infeasible, due to the lack of a means to perform broadcast discovery. As a result, most distributed systems rely on a set of central, semi-static nodes to perform initial introductions.

University of Toronto ☛ My plan for backups of my home machine (as of early 2024)
In theory, what I should do to back up my home desktop is fairly straightforward. I should get one or two USB hard drives of sufficient size, then periodically connect one and do a backup to it (probably using tar, and potentially not compressing the tar archives to make them more recoverable in the face of disk errors). If I'm energetic, I'll have two USB hard drives and periodically rotate one to the office as an offsite backup. Modern USB should be fast enough for this, and hopefully using (fast) USB drives will no longer kill my performance the way it used to. Large HDDs are reasonably affordable, especially if I decide to live with 5400 RPM ones (which I hope run cooler), so I could store multiple full system backups on a single HDD.
