Hi OP.

Is there any way for me to invest in your startup?

I am, by no means a VC. Just a normal salaried individual that wishes to invest a little bit in your startup.

Please drop me a note on sudhanshu[at]cheq[dot]money

Happy to chat.

How do you handle routine backups of the machine that you host nextcloud on?

I run nextcloud on my home NAS with 8TB of data. I use https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy for backups to azure blob. Strong recommendation from me, I tried so many backup solutions... including Borg, duplicity, rsync, and I don't even remember the rest anymore. Duplicacy's no database solution and support for a zillion destination options really got me.

The safety ratings of MSIL cars aren't that great to be honest. A number of their cars are often referred to 'tincan on wheels' owing to their very light body panels. In fact they recently decided not to send their cars to Global NCAP for safety rating.

Anecdote time - the first time I rode in a Maruti Suzuki (an Omni - think Toyota HiAce/VW Transporter), the driver asked me to close the sliding door, as I was the last to enter.

Having ridden my fair share in old Transporters, I grabbed hold of the door handle and pulled, putting my body weight behind it to get the door going - and the door came flying along the rail, slamming shut with the sound of the lid being put on a shoe box, more or less.

It was, ahem, of a considerably more material efficient construction than the sliding doors on a Transporter.

Yea, that car is terrifying to ride in. Especially in anything more than slow city traffic.

When I rode in one, I wasn't expecting much - since the car I was used to was a Maruti 800.

But the Omni was terrifying, like one notch above an auto-rickshaw.

Indian automakers have been faring far better here.

Tata and Mahindra's cars are increasingly top-of the pack when it comes to safety; very likely that if this continues, the Japanese car makers will enjoy the same fate as the Japanese bike makers.

Are they serious about this?

Offtopic but Team-BP is an excellent forum discussing the Automobile Market in India. The posts are of high quality and they have a pretty high barrier of entry.

I think there is a userspace version written in Go that shouldn't need root access.

Unless I'm mistaken, wireguard-go[0] only runs the WireGuard protocol code in userspace rather than the kernel. It still requires configuring network interfaces which requires root.

This reminds me of the Korean TV drama series Dae Jang Geum also known as Jewel in the Palace.[1]

Have you been able to find a high quality subbed version of this anywhere?

Unfortunatey, no. :(

Hangouts is a decent alternative.

Have you tried LaTeX? It has a learning curve but the output is far better than MS Word.

Yes. I'm bound to Word because that is what the publisher uses and has their templates in. If it was self publish then I would've been using Latex (or maybe even markdown) the whole time.

I've had good luck with Wine on all my Linux machines.

Just wondering... which field did you do research in?

Automating retro-sysnthetic analysis using AI.
