@boomzilla Yeah, it was so far-fetched that it just sounded like you were making a random non-sequitur aside comment, which itself sounded like an admission of .

backing up my hard drive like @blakeyrat does. Or did.
K don't recall him saying anything like this.
Sounds like a personal problem to me.
He was complaining that he couldn't stash code remotely using git without everyone seeing it or the branches never going away or something. It turned out that when he used TFS he'd do that at the end of every day in case he lost data.
What has that anything to do with backing up your hard drive?

@Tsaukpaetra Inorite.

@jinpa I think the exact name depends on who you ask. I have a box of IBM 8" floppy disks and this is what is says on the label on one of them:
Part No. 1669045
Record Length: 1024 Bytes
Diskette No.
IBM
Diskette 2DEDIT: This article even calls it a "floppy diskette".
I'm not saying there aren't careless people who call them that, just that it's inaccurate.

You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet

My Amiga didn't have a hard drive.

The Inter-what-now? Is that like a BBS?

A sign of my anti-: when I see BBS, I think of custom wheel manufacturer featured in Need for Speed.

While you may not be a true , if you remember Need for Speed, (Initial release date: 1994) you're not exactly an anti- either.

@jinpa actually, the first one to feature BBS wheels was NFS: Underground, released in 2003.
Yes, I am very aware that was still 16 years ago. My belt onion is slowly but steadily growing. I'm already pissed at pointless new tech inventions.

and I don't use git
Sane choice.
or any other VCS, if you're wondering
Ahhh...I see you follow the @blakeyrat philosophy of backups. I'm sorry.
I don't follow.
Did you mean to say that you don't use VCS for backups, as that's not what they are for? Then I've misunderstood you. I understood you to mean you don't use VCS at all, then I don't see how that's related to backups or whatever Blakey thinks about them.Edit: Eh, answered up-thread I guess. I didn't understand that the way you meant it.

Stable!
How anyone could see that fluctuation, then proceed to give a value to five significant figures or act like bitcoin's "value" even exists, is beyond me.

It's stable enough for laundering money from your crimes, which is its singular purpose.
