Any brands you would recommend?

I’ve been testing out restric and kopia for backups. Anyone with experience with these know the pros and cons vs. Borg?

Honestly something that critical probably shouldn’t run on a rpi. There are plenty of cheap used thin clients you can buy on eBay that have better performance and reliability. I probably like the thinkcentre micros, but feel and hp have good options too

I agree with all that. But I’m talking about exact integer values as mentioned in the parent.

I just think this has to be true: count(exact integers that can be represented by a N bit floating point variable) < count(exact integers that can be represented by an N bit int type variable)

Yeah, that was my guess too. But that just means they could return a long (or whatever the 64 bit int equivalent in java is) instead of an int.

I don’t think that’s possible. Representing more exact ints means representing larger ints and vice versa. I’m ignoring signed vs. unsigned here as in theory both the double and int/long can be signed or unsigned.

Edit: ok, I take this back. I guess you can represent larger values as long as you are ok that they will be estimates. Ie, double of N (for some very large N) will equal double of N + 1.

No, I get that. I’m sure the programming language design people know what they are doing. I just can’t grasp how a double (which has to use at least 1 bit to represent whether or not there is a fractional component) can possibly store more exact integer vales than an integer type of the same length (same number of bits).

It just seems to violate some law of information theory to my novice mind.

So why not return a long or whatever the 64 bit int equivalent is?

How does that work? Is it just because double uses more bits? I’d imagine for the same number of bits, you can store more ints than doubles (assuming you want the ints to be exact values).

Does the bt hub let you turn off DHCP? I had a similar issue with my ISP router, but it let me turn off dhcp and then I ran pihole which can run its own DHCP server.

Then, the DHCP server can tell all clients to use your preferred DNS server.

I haven’t used adguard, but it can probably do the same. If not, you can run a DHCP client on the same box probably.

I’m proving their point that sometimes a service is worth paying for (either through cash or by seeing ads)? In that case, yeah I guess I am. Different people have different preferences. Go figure.

It does. But I still use my mail app instead of going to gmail.com, I use my Spotify app instead of going to Spotify.com, I use the YouTube app, etc.

Sometimes a specialized app is just better. For me that’s definitely the case w sync.

One time for one PC for personal use

Wow. I hope that’s some sort of mistake.

Are you sure that’s not the lifetime for ultra? There’s a new one time “remove ads” option.

Make sure you update the app. It just showed up for me about an hour ago.

Do you have adguard or pihole or another DNS blocker? If so, I don’t think you’ll see ads. At least not yet.

Same here. The latest update has the “remove ads” option added for a one time 12.99 fee.

Not being able to install local apps is a valid issue. But if you are really concerned about a work laptop, I wouldn’t trust something just because it’s web based. Depending on the company, they can access that data if they really wanted to just alomst as easily as a file on disk.

How much are you scraping? You may end up getting your home up blocked.
