The entire “Organize the store by Brand™” rather than by product is a terrible consumer experience. Truly a horrible idea made by horrible profiteers.

Want to compare and buy an SD card? You need to go to the SanDisk section, the Samsung section, and the Other Misc Junk section. And btw the sections are on opposite corners of the store. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Many cities and towns across the Rockies in North America have elevations above 1800 meters. That’s the starting point. Buy comparison, “high” cities in Europe, like Bern (500m) and Innsbruck (574m) don’t Even come close. It’s not a factor of one thing like having a manual transmission, but a multitude of factors like road condition, grade, elevation, distance driven, humidity, etc. It’s a completely different environment. The 2.2 turbo diesel may indeed not have enough power to get over any of the many 4000+ meter passes if it can’t get enough air or cool itself while towing.

Web rings were one way someone would find their way around the Web before search engines really were any good. Basically, a group of sites of a certain interest would static link each other on each site.

Say you were on a web forum for skateboarders. That forum would have a web ring section, usually in the footer or one of the gutters, of links to other sites related to skateboarding. Each of those sites would reciprocally list the others as well.

If you published your own Website about skateboarding, you would email the webmasters of those sites and asked to be added; although some had centralized Webmasters to manage the ring.

REAR Relax-and-Recover will do entire system point-in-time snapshot backups to a bootable iso or physical USB thumb drive: https://relax-and-recover.org/rear-user-guide/index.html

I use rear for backing up my root, and Borg for packing up user data (for versioning, file recovery), but you can use rear for the entire system too.
