Where did you move to, if I can ask?

Have a look at void Linux. I was a long time freebsd user until I really needed some proprietary software (zoom) in the pandemic.

Switched to void and it is the same freebsd feeling, but with much better hardware support. And with my beloved ZFS!

In particle physics there is the concept of "look elsewhere" effect, precisely to take into account that if you look for a signal, for example of a particle of any mass in some range, there is the possibility that just by chance you find some statistical deviation at some mass value.

It is very different to confirm a prediction (i.e. to look for a particle with a precisely predicted mass), than to fish for some unexpected signal in your data.

In some cases Economics could do the same: Looking for an effect in any age range could be post-processed to take into account that you are looking into many age groups.

Hi,

Any chances that Sia will eventually support directly restic/Borg?

I did not know about filebase (and looks interesting), but honestly it is barely competitive with backblaze/wasabi for backups.

> There is a strategy that is happening now in some (many?) places in Europe where the public health system is defunded and then there are public claims of how bad the system is.

Sure, because it is a very nice piece of cake for the private sector. What better business than something that people cannot live without?. There is a lot of money in play.
