I use a cronjob that sends my /home to my NAS every 3 hours which then the NAS every 12 hours sends to my back NAS, which once every 24 hours sends my critical data offsite to a remote encrypted borg repository in Sweden, which also has it's own backup.
Normal people: oh no, data loss Youtubers: aarrgh but woo, bonus video idea, and a cautionary tale too.
Great video, including the parts about:
* not just needing enough space to hold your data, but the benefit of having a spare drive around to have room to shuffle things around when you can't just pick up a new one same day
Foreground stars & background galaxiesπ« Imagine standing on a faraway planet and looking up. This new @NASAWebb image reveals myriad stars of different colors, sizes, temperatures and stages of evolution. Individual galaxies form the background. go.nasa.gov/3hnt4Tv #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Exoplanets are so far away that the most common methods to find them involve looking at their host stars. That can make finding small planets similar to Earth even more challenging. Soon, astronomers will have a new planet-finding tool! bit.ly/3EmlO3a #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
We asked you to pick your favorite exoplanet type and it wasn't even close. Let's hear it for super-Earths! Planets between twice Earth's size and Neptune are common in our galaxy, but there's nothing like them in our solar system! go.nasa.gov/3UFJrcy #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Super-Earths β a class of planets unlike any in our solar system β are more massive than Earth yet lighter than ice giants like Neptune and Uranus, and can be made of gas, rock or a combination.
About 250 light-years from Earth, two planets orbiting a K-type star smaller than our Sun join our list of confirmed exoplanets. One is a hot mini-Neptune and the other is an eccentric cold Jupiter. This brings us to 5,197 planets beyond our solar system! go.nasa.gov/3TgPpPK #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Discovery Alert!π£ A super-Earth is one of the most massive of this type found so far. Stand on its higher-gravity surface and you would certainly feel it -- youβd be about three times your weight on Earth. A year there, one orbit, is less than 15 hours. go.nasa.gov/3UGGMiM #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
The planets beyond our solar system, exoplanets, are mysterious wonders. There are super puffy cotton-candy planets, and a world with the consistency of a marshmallow was recently discovered. Sweet! Tour our favorites: go.nasa.gov/3zyNaAr #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Have you heard of the habitable zone? You're in one right now. It's the distance from a star where you might find exoplanets with liquid surface water. We use the habitable zone to help focus our search for life beyond Earth.
An international study found that stars with close exoplanets appeared younger than companion stars without planets. Space telescopes @chandraxray and @ESA_XMM teamed up to observe binary (two-star) systems to see the effect in X-ray light. go.nasa.gov/3ftv1x3 #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Planets can force their host stars to act younger than their age, according to a new study of multiple systems using NASAβs Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Why is our Sun smiling? We think its because of all the planets it has, but it might just be coronal holes seen in ultraviolet light. (Regions where fast solar wind gushes into space.) We do know of another star with 8 planets, and that makes *us* smile: go.nasa.gov/3FQucZQ #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, with the recent discovery of an eighth planet circling Kepler-90, a Sun-like star 2,545 light years from Earth.
What helps keep a star acting young?π New research shows it might be a hot Jupiter! Young stars put out more X-rays. Researchers observed more of this activity in stars with a nearby exoplanet. This may be the best evidence yet of this anti-aging effect. go.nasa.gov/3ftv1x3 #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦

Space telescopes allow us to travel the universe as explorers. Each observes in a different range, a superpower, if you will. This allows their data to fit together and offer a more complete picture. See how they team up: go.nasa.gov/3T49GIp #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
A superhero team of space telescopes has been working tirelessly to discover exoplanets and unveil their secrets. Now, a new superhero joins the teamβthe James Webb Space Telescope. What will it find?
Iβve been using GNURadio for about a decade (and still wouldnβt call myself an expert). Iβve written some tutorials on the wiki on how to do some cool stuff like remote controlling flowgraphs from a separate computer and signal/spectrum detection.

Our MAVEN orbiter has observed a Martian light show caused by a major solar storm β and there could be more to come.

For the first time in its eight years orbiting Mars, NASAβs MAVEN mission witnessed two different types of ultraviolet aurorae simultaneously, the result of solar storms that began on Aug. 27.
This is *not* a space skull.π This is an X-ray binary system made of two parts: a compact stellar remnant -- either neutron star or black hole; and a companion star, with surrounding gas heated to millions of degrees. We repeat: This is not a space skull. go.nasa.gov/3DjHE5N #NASAExoplanetsnitter.net/NASAExoplanets/statβ¦
What is it like to end a mission? As the power levels continue to dwindle for @NASAInSight, the team has started taking steps to wind down the mission. Here's a glimpse of what that looks like: go.nasa.gov/3UjKvCJ (1/4) #NASAJPLnitter.net/NASAJPL/status/1587β¦

Thanks everyone who tuned in to Plane of the Eclectic today! Hereβs the archive if anyone feels like a recap π a good bit of IDM, techno, hyperpop, and breakbeats.
A long time ago I went to the Canyon de Chelly in Arizona in Winter. On the way there from Highway 40 it snowed really hard and all of a sudden there were 2 white, wild horses on the street. They blended in so much that I almost could not see them. We were the only one around for miles, really cool experience.
Your 'art class' post reminded me of that. Thanks for that!
#ICYMI: @NorthropGrumman's Cygnus space freighter, loaded with science gear and spacewalk hardware, was captured using the Canadarm2 robotic arm and installed to the station's Unity module on Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022. More... go.nasa.gov/3TrlHYF #ISSnitter.net/Space_Station/statuβ¦
A U.S. cargo craft has been installed on the International Space Station and the Expedition 68 crew members are beginning to unpack several tons of food, fuel, and supplies.

Great video, including the parts about:

* the knock on effects on your pending workloads
