We have a kid in a wheelchair. Car is not optional.

Yeah, I’ll have to find a new wife if I try to put a few beater bikes in the garage. It’ll get expensive fast.

Without cops, you’re fighting a bunch of junkies to get your bike back. Cops looked at me like I was an idiot when I tried to file a report for my stolen bike.

But what would you recommend? I have a bunch of PebbleBee trackers on my stuff, but I can’t think of any way to hide any of those on the bike.

I really wish there was a better way to secure bicycles. Most of the time I choose to take the car or motorcycle is because I got a nice bicycle after my old cheapo got stolen from what I thought was a safe location.

I’m not even talking about lack of bicycle racks in many parking lots, but the fact that a $50 angle grinder goes through just about any chain/u-lock in about 30 seconds.

I know this because I had to cut off my own U-lock after assholes tried to drill through the lock on mine and ruined it. Also, nobody even looked twice at a guy using an incredibly loud grinder generating a ton of sparks in the middle of a retail parking lot.

What issues? I’m pretty much 100% ipv6 on all ubiquity equipment.

There’s 0 chance these units are any cheaper because they lack parking space. This just allows developers to charge even more money from vast majority of people.

Ability to pay for anything legal implies accountability. I doubt payment processors are creating these rules because they’re afraid of Jesus.

They just did the math and there’s probably a ton of disputes/chargebacks on certain content.

Should two consenting adults be able to pay each other for whatever the fuck - absolutely. But dumb pipe only sounds really good until you get scammed.

I’ve got 6 in a random mix of brands (Seagate and WD) 8-16Tb that are all older than that. Running 24/7 storing mostly random shit I download. Pulled one out recently because the USB controller died. Still works in a different enclosure now.

I’d definitely have a different setup for data I actually cared about.

Hard drives aren’t great for archival in general, but any modern drive should work. Grab multiple brands and make at least two copies. Look for sales. Externals regularly go below $15/tb these days.
