ZFS will let you setup a RAID like set of small volumes which mirror one larger volume, it takes some setup, but that’s the most “elegant” solution in that once it’s configured you only need to touch it when you add a volume to the system and it’s just a mounted filesystem that you use.

Does not solve the off-site problem, one fire and it’s all gone.

Web sites and pages come and go, but the search engine indices are forever. The Internet Archive, for example, uses data from a search engine crawler to populate their archive of the internet (until Alexa was shut down by Amazon, they do their own crawling now). Google likely has a lot of old internet data in archives as well.

True, but if all the data was encrypted, then the drive formatted it would require physically dismantling an HDD in a clean room to recover data, for SSDs the wear leveling makes it hard to fully erase anything, but again, after encrypting and formatting the cost of the tools needed to get the data back are well above the potential benefit (i.e. there are easier ways to get people’s personal info)

One round rock salt, one bird shot, one buck shot, nothing bug slugs after that.

Now, in this case, you’ve run into slang usage that only loosely adheres to the dictionary usage.

Honestly, I think this usage is very much the dictionary sense of “appealing in a pretty or endearing way”. “cute” covers a range of attractiveness or appeal in a way that applies across the spectrum of more specific compliments. It’s a safe complement to use, no-one is likely to be offended where “sexy” or “hot” is more loaded and explicit.

It’s also a more implied/less explicit way to say “sexy” (e.g. that’s a cute guy) and also works for non-sexualized things like babies and pets so again, it’s a safer choice.

Well, sorta, it does call for a totalitarian theocratic state pretty early on, and justifies the possession of Palestine on the basis of military conquest, which is how it was taken. So, “your religious state is intolerable and only we get to take territory by force; when you do it it’s not halal.”

Hold my nose and pick the minimum harm candidates.

Once you’re in the top 0.1% it’s probably safe to go outside and just lord your intelligence over everyone you meet.

Vertical integration is when you control the entire product, in consumer electronics Apple is the gold standard; they make the software, hardware, and processors then integrate them into iPhones and macBooks. Tesla is a good example in the automotive space, their goal with the mega-factories is “raw materials in, cars out” and they work to build as many of the parts themselves as possible.

Alternately Microsoft just makes a good enough OS that runs on good enough hardware from commodity vendors, so you get good enough computers. Most auto makers buy good enough components from 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers and integrate them into good enough cars.

Typically inline assembly is written in an #IFDEF block with a C/C++ alternative provided. Since the assembly is machine specific the devs need to write it for all the processor families they want to optimize for.
