Being afraid puts one in shackles. There's no sense in being afraid of a situation you cannot change. So: no, I'm not afraid, but I'm pessimistic and I'm trying to adapt, and prepare myself with my kids for a possibly worse future and try to develop workaround strategies.

Yes, and I love car games - over the years I have collected some things which I'm happy now: aluminium rig, moza wheel, VR headset. So I only do racing games that support VR, since I don't have room for a huge ass screen on my rig.

Just recently found "Flatout 4: Total insanity VR" and it nicely scratches my itch for casual arcade racing, aside from my usual more serious stuff (Euro Truck Sim 2, Raceroom, AMS2, Richard Burns Rally, ...)

Meh. Huuuge marketing budget with countless bought articles over the interwebs. I liked FH4, also bought FH5 which was a letdown, since it essentially just was more of the same. And I'll certainly refrain from buying FH6.

Hi simracing pal! You have pretty much the same setup as myself. I also have the very reasonably priced cog shh motion rig (about 3k euro), and a Pico 4 vr headset. My rig keeps getting better and better... Next purchase may be a better graphics card, when prices go back to normal in a few months or years.

A plex lifetime pass. Was okay until the company went crazy. Now I use Jellyfin and I'm happy.

Fewer babies => more pets.

I'll raise you with https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/tag/gas/ - lots and lots of human made sudokus and other puzzles. The link is for GAS (genuinely approachable sudokus)

Thanks for the clarification. Now I know, that I'll stick to my daily cronjob that just runs pg_dump via ssh to another machine. I get e-mail notifications with my simple shell script as well.

Can you explain to me how the core backup process works? I browsed the git repo, but could not find it after about 10 minutes.

For example PostgreSQL: does it just do a pg_dump of a whole database? Or table for table? What about incremental backups? Are these implemented? And if so, what's the concept behind it?

Otherwise I would not see any use for larger (dozens of gigabytes and more) databases.

I'm a happily divorced dad. Had a lovely evening with my teenage daughter yesterday. We played cards, chess and some other cards game while drinking tea and chatting a lot. She won each game fair and square. After that great time I told her how much I value these moments, and she answered in the same way.

Austrian here: STOSSLÜFTEN!

I sometimes play these games in infinitemac dot org. Lots of other good old Mac games there. (Use some operating system from 6 to 9)
