but could also be used to break that security

Not really, unless really stupid encryption was used. The best quantum can do is the log of a problem space. It can do log(N) if the problem space is N.

“I’m so embarrassed, I wish everyone else would die.”

It’s not unlimited transfer like Backblaze. Also not as fast.

I’ve had a good experience with pCloud. One-time lifetime fee. Just set the Immich directory in its entirety as a backup folder.

3TB is a weird place to be with their pricing, though. You can buy 2 TB twice, iirc.

One (contrived) example would be to have a drive that doesn’t have any installed file system filters on it. Filters being the hooks that windows, antivirus, etc have that intercept file writes and such. Could make it much faster on windows for that use-case. I can see custom software using that drive.

Contrived? Definitely. But potentially useful. I can see it working similarly to something MS has in testing which is the file system thing that is super fast but is limited in features—can’t seem to find it atm…

Edit: Found it. Dev drive via ReFS.

Almost like I did it intentionally…

But seriously, try it out. It’s a great game. You can play free for about 6mo before hitting the free wall, but you’ll probably pay for PRO soon enough.

I like the devs because they don’t do auto-renewals.

ProsperousUniverse I presume?

Look up the Scunthorpe problem.

Unintended consequences.

Mentioned this in a thread, but will comment at a top-level:

ProsperousUniverse.com - You’ll end up wanting to use spreadsheets for the game. It’s EVE Online production/trading without the combat.

It’s a very slow paced game so don’t go into it expecting a current-era gaming experience. And yes, super viable to play the game without paying anything for at least 9months.

Sounds like you’re playing ProsperousUniverse.
