You know that if your phone does not already include the ability to resize pictures, you can get a smartphone app for that.

I suppose. Easier to do on my computer, and not have the duplicates eating up storage on the phone. And yes... I know I could cloud all my phone storage, but I don't want to do that.

At some point, I expect the operators of this forum will catch up with the times, and increase their max photo size, or even do the compression or resizing to their needs when you upload.

There is nothing foggier than the clouds in my head about The Cloud. Then again l just got a dumb azz smart phone 3 months ago so l am about as tech savvy as a duck and that’s probably an insult to ducks.
Sounds as if some kind of horror movie should be made such as The Cloud meets The Blob.

I have nothing against cloud storage, in fact I use it for my final backup. But I'm averse to adding "one more subscription" to the massive amount my family is already paying for various subscription services, when I can manage everything locally, with relative ease.

Not to mention, most cloud services for photo storage mine those photos for facial recognition, building a massive database of faces and names to sell to data aggregators. I suspect Apple is one of the better services, in terms of data privacy, but I don't feel any burning need to start uploading all of my family photos. The cloud storage I use for final backup is run with local encryption, so it's protected in transit, and not even the cloud service themselves can decrypt the data.

If you're confused about "the cloud" in general, it just refers to the way data farms duplicate to multiple locations. When you upload your photos or phone backup to Apple's iCloud, that data gets copied to multiple sites, as a means of disaster recovery. If managed properly, the goal is zero loss due to natural disaster, war, etc. For more daily use, the multiple site model enhances speed, as you can always push/pull data to the site with which you have the closest connection, with it replicating to the other sites during off-peak hours.

If you have a NAS or any device with a RAID controller in your own home, then you already have redundancy built-in. I run newer, smarter variant of RAID-10, which ensures any data stored on any drive in the array is also duplicated on at least one other drive within the array. So, available storage is roughly half that of the sum of all disks in the array. Then that gets backed up to the cloud, with hundreds of available restore points going back several years. If I realize our children's baby photos have been deleted or corrupted three years ago, I can easily go back and retrieve an earlier copy from the cloud. More often, I'm relying on my local backup, hourly BTRFS snapshots, to retrieve a file I just accidentally deleted 5 minutes ago.

Winter, is a Raid -10 similar to a German shepherd?

RAID level 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 | Advantage, disadvantage, use

Short tutorial on RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, the advantages of striping, mirroring and parity for performance & security plus their use for prepress storage

www.prepressure.com

Any deeper questions about storage/backup, we should probably start another thread. It's something I've had to put a lot of thought and time into, for the type of business I'm running.

It is indeed a 24" bar. The saw is a 359 with 3/8" skip chain. I like the balance and feel of it and not to heavy.

One of the best all around saws Husky ever made in my opinion.
I used to think the 300 year old company used a crown for its logo. Some think it’s a gunsight however. They did make guns…and motorcycles…and sewing machines and they did have a king in Sweden so have to find a vampire that lived around the 1700’s in Sweden and ask him or her.
I suppose l should wear a neck brace for that conversation.

Deep questions…as in a fathom deep?
I have no fathoms. I am right on the surface.

And on the bark up vs bark down debate, I don't really care much which way mine faces, when stacking under a roof and sitting 3-4 years

I put it up because after splitting found that it stacks easier.

Not to flog a dead horse but not all of us can get super fast speeds. There are threads here which I avoid because the photos take so long to load. The only way I can change my speed is to pay to have a line run 3400 feet down my road. I already did that for phone service, giving me internet speed which made me wish they'd bring dialup back.

That is definitely a Maine thing.
I recall the first time l went up to Rangeley in the 60’s. Sort of like being on the moon at the time.

Here is a 10 minute video where I used that method if you would like to see.

I have noticed that this gentleman uses the same techniques as you. (Then shares video)

Here's a few photos from this past weekend.

Once again, I'm amazed at the generous nature of the people on here. Taking the time to share pictures and videos that will help others.

Thank you for taking the time to show us different ways of doing things.
