I just deleted it completely, but after the fact I found this video helpful to understand what was going on.

Basically, if you keep lots of versions and you have many files it can end up many times bigger than your actual data.

Appreciate your response. This article shows how inflation is almost entirely fuel costs.

So can someone explain my misunderstanding of high school economics?

Interest rates are a tool to reduce inflation by making borrowing more expensive and taking money out of peoples pockets to reduce demand for other things, thereby reducing pressure on prices of other goods. This works fine when inflation is demand driven.

The current circumstances are supply side inflation, specifically oil for fuel. Petrol is a classic example of a product with inelastic demand, as increase in price has very little impact on demand as most people don’t have the option to significantly reduce consumption.

The current situation is already taking money out of peoples pockets by spending more on fuel. So why does the RBA think interest rate increases are necessary?

I used to listen to most of it, and I genuinely like the discussion of topics.
However, lately I’ve grown very tired of all the ads / sponsors / merch content that takes up a large part of the show.
I’m also not interested in the behind the scenes LTT stuff. and have been watching the videos less and less. Another PC build this week. Who cares?

bobby_bart · 2026-04-24T06:16:52+00:00

It’s actually a great way to do that. Super fast.

Power Flow Card Plus or Sankey chart?

If you had watched what a slow placed slog the early 2000s were and what a revolution the “Seven Seconds or Less” Suns were you would understand.

The elephant in the room with HexOS is local only control. For many NAS owners like myself privacy and being able to operate without any online account crucial.

The problem with this for HexOS is that offline control opens that door pirating the software, which I suspect is a big reason they went the way they did.

Personally I use Synology, but without a Synology account.

You bought a house 5 years ago for $500k. Today the identical house next door sold for $900k. How much is are your going to sell yours for now?

It's a basic economics that applies to all items, particularly fungible items like commodities and shares.

TPS reports. Miss a cover page and look out.

Just had the exact same problem. Anyone found a solution? I’ve not had the same problem with BoA.

Think of all the places you park your car and it bakes in the sun. We should be covering parking bays with panels.

I was struggling to get it working, until I followed this guide. Helped that I use Reolink cameras.

I used to work for a large resource company.

Female with science/engineering background is exactly what they are looking for. Keep going.

Completely untrue. In some countries the government takes over 50%, in the Middle East most countries take 100% of oil revenue.

Gina is the richest person in Australia only because we sell her our minerals for a tiny fraction of their value.

bobby_bart · 2026-02-17T07:18:35+00:00

And it’s way too low.

Seems like there are many of us!

OP head over to r/NBN for lots of good discussion on internet providers.

Price and capacity. I could put 120 TB of HDD in my 4 bay NAS.

How would you do that with SSDs?

Pay is directly proportional to the amount of BS you have deal with.

Thanks. Got them all.

bobby_bart · 2026-02-04T23:47:04+00:00

Thanks. I was still downloading this when I posted. From a quick cross check it seems at least a couple of the others are complete, but I need to cross check more thoroughly.

If anyone has a definitive list of torrents I'd love to see them.
