Weren’t these religious settlers? It says so in the voice over…

Oooh I didn’t remember that one, thanks!

Also, big-butt-bugs 🐜

It’s a pity the filmmakers leaved out these details from the book. The bugs not only were capable of sending asteroids through the galaxy, but also made starships to travel to other planets. The humans had power armor and carried a couple of shoulder-mounted atomic bombs each.

I don’t remember that part in the movie, sorry.

That’s the actual demographic in Buenos Aires today.

Well, there was in fact a dictator in the story: the brain-bug that controlled the swarm.

But would a non-militarized society survive in a conflict against the bugs?

Doesn’t fascism need a dictatorial leader? I don’t remember one, at least in the movie.

What’s the message in Starship Troopers?

This is not a meme.

Yeah, the other half is Azure and Google Cloud, which should also be in this list 🫠

Don’t forget AWS

Apart from backups, a nice RAID 1 setup will keep the service running during a disk failure and it is easy to repair when it happens, just change the faulty disk and re-sync. Some also use those as backups, by changing a spare disk regularly and keeping it somewhere safe.

If you do backups, don’t forget to test them. You don’t want to find yourself trying to restore some files and find out that they’re corrupt or you’re missing the encryption key. I remember trying to restore a database only to discover that the supposed production backups where from the testing environment.

For the noise: get a fanless PC and SSD storage. As these are virtually silent, you can keep the server somewhere open so it doesn’t overheat.

There’s no rebuilding. The boss just gets a bunch of money and move to another business. It’s like insurance fraud but without the risks, because the arson is made by someone else.

If the factory burns, the boss gets the insurance money and the workers lose their jobs.
