Racing/Freestyle FPV Drones. It's a wonderful fusion of building them, electronics, software (betaflight is open source), cinematography, and just tinkering in general.

Profitability?

A cheap one time procedure (ie. vasalgel) is far less lucrative than a pill that need to be bought repeatedly.

How is the container version crippled?

An anecdotal data point, but I've been running the home-assistant container image on k8s without any issue, and I have a lot of integrations.

Ah gotcha, I haven't done full restore of my main dataset.

I've only verified with a smaller test dataset to validate the workflow on s3 deep archive (retrieval is $0.02/GB). I've done full backup/restore with the zfs send/gpg/recv workflow successfully (to a non aws s3 destination), and used s3 for quite a long time for work and personal without issue, so personally I have high confidence in the entire workflow.

No intermediate directory/file at all, all done on the fly.

    sudo zfs send -i <LAST_BACKUPED_SNAPNAME> <CUR_SNAPNAME> | gpg -e -r <YOURKEY> --compress-algo none -v | pv | aws s3 cp --storage-class DEEP_ARCHIVE - s3://<PATH_TO_DEST>.zfs.gpg

The very first time you do it, you will need to do a full backup (ie. without the `-i <...>` option). Afterwards, subsequent backups can be done with the -i, so only the incremental difference will be backed up.

I have a path/naming scheme for the .zfs.gpg files on s3 which include the snapshot from/to names. This allows to determine what the latest backed up snapshot name is (so the next one can be incremental against that). And also use when backing up, since the order or restore matters.

S3 Glacier Deep Archive, $0.00099 per GB per month.

I have a ZFS based NAS. And periodically do a incremental backup (zfs send) of the entire dataset, encrypt it gpg and pipe it straight up to S3 deep archive. Works like a charm.

The catch with S3 deep archive is if you want to get the data back... It's reliable, but you will pay quite a bit more. So as a last resort backup, it's perfect.

Nostalgia! This was my first (and only) technic set I got when I was a kid. The most impressive here is the actual functional mechanical systems, all wheel steering, all wheel drive, differentials, gearbox, suspension, etc.

Came here to post this. Also, vacuum insulated mugs and tumblers for hot/cold drinks as well.

This is exactly what VMware Horizon VDI does to create desktop VMs very quickly, called Instant Clone (aka VM Fork), and has been around for several years now.

With that, you don't even need to do deduplication after the fact, it comes for free. When a new VM is forked, it's memory and disk are copy-on-write from the source/parent VM.

You absolutely can. I am not sure what tech Microsoft is using, but a similar experience can be had with VMware Horizon VDI product with something called Instant Clone, which is essentially forking an already booted up Desktop VM. On each esxi hypervisor host, you would have one of these parent/seed VMs that is booted up and ready in a frozen state, and when a new desktop VM is needed, it's created from the seed/parent using copy-on-write memory/disk and runtime state less than a second.
