30 ft from landing in Boston from the UK in bad weather the pilot aborts the landing. Honestly thought we were all going to die, the plane was moving around so much and the run way starts just after the water. It seemed like we’d just hit the water or at least clip a boat. Ended up diverting and landing elsewhere where we sat on the plane for 5 hours waiting for the weather to clear. My stomach took another 5 hours to recover. 0/10 do not recommended.

Sounds like a good plan to me

I’ve switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?

I’m going to assume I’ll live another 45 years here.

My first electric Guitar should probably last and holds some sentimental value. My other guitars I can imagine selling at some point even though right now I like them.

Maybe some tools will last that are little more than solid pieces of metal. But how much use I’ll have for them when I’m in my 80s i don’t know, so maybe they move on before I do.

Kitchen table and coffee table are very solid and may out live my kids. But maybe we’ll decide to swap to something else with a different style after 30 years, who knows.

That’s all I can think of that has any chance of me keeping that long without breaking through standard use.

There are some strange answers here. Either there are a lot of very old people or people who should be on suicide watch given their suggestions of things that clearly won’t last very long. I’m assuming a difference between things breaking and things being broken through misuse.

Come to Wales, it won’t last 6 months. Whenever I see someone with an umbrella I can’t help think they’re new here

Photo editing. As a helping tool for guitar with Guitar Pro and Songsterr and HX edit. I also spend a fair bit of time on my homelab, configuring servers, networks and maintaining my self hosted empire.

Can’t think of anything too outrageous. I have a 24U server rack in my garage which fits with mm perfection under the stairs.
