in my ~15 years of IT, I’ve never seen a backup not restore properly.

I remember Outlook backups failing like nothing else during the restore process 25 years ago.

Which was fucked because it would take 2 weeks to rebuild only to find out it didn’t work.

Apparently conservatives are not only shit businessmen but their also dumb fucks who will believe anything you tell em as long as you throw in some racist platitudes

It’s so silly. Even if you don’t understand the science of climate change (which isn’t that fucking hard to understand) you can definitely understand this;

• Solar PV + Battery: ~2.0–2.7 USD/W (2.4~ $/kW)
• Solar PV standalone: ~1.33–2.74 USD/W
• Wind (onshore): ~1.46–5.9 USD/W
• Hydro: ~3.0–5.9 USD/W
• Coal: ~3.1–5.5 USD/W
• Natural Gas (combined cycle): ~1.06–1.2 USD/W
• Oil/peakers (simple turbines): ~0.8–2.6 USD/W
• Nuclear: ~6.7–8.0 USD/W

Even with batteries solar has the greatest fricken ROI in this list at the cheapest cost.

Fossil fuels are finite. After you pay back your solar panel capex your opex is barely anything and for the next 20-30 you have free fucking energy.

Jeebus, even if you don’t give a shit about the environment picking anything but renewables is like the dumbest decision you can use your money on.
