Uggh, so dystopian

Probably a high voltage power line, usually well off the road. So this guy had to try extra hard to reach it, my guess running from the cops.

Given that Crown Vic is bent like it is, definitely high speed to impact hard enough after sliding sideways across road/soil.

Haha, dammit, you made me snort out loud... Now people are looking at me.

Take my upvote

The Gulf Coast of Florida is just as clear, and pretty much anywhere in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.

How much data in total do you have? Perhaps 2 or 3 external drives (each large enough to hold all your data) on those laptops could bridge the gap for now. Externals are relatively inexpensive, and using something like Syncthing, they could stay in sync.

I took this approach to consolidate my data to free up drives from machines so I could build a NAS running Proxmox. Then copied that data to the NAS, which is the authoritative data store, the other drives now act as local duplicates.

Alternatively, upgrade the drives in the laptops (depending on how much data you have).

Also, keep in mind growth - once you have your data sorted, watch it grow and use that to predict your need for new storage.

Lots of good advice here.

The best place to start would be to ignore what you currently have, for the moment, and think about your requirements, at a high level.

In the corporate world, we start with Business/User Requirements - think "what does a user need to be able to do", these are pretty abstract things like:

Have all photos accessible on mobile

Have all photos accesible by App A

Have all photos accesible by App B

Etc

Then take all those User requirements as a guide to the Functional/System/Technical requirements (what solution meets which requirement?)

I kind of just focus on data stability myself (3 local copies, one cloud backup, with local copies being sync'd manually, to act as a sort of buffer from my own fuckups), and implement different solutions for each requirement/system.

Like Syncthing on Windows/Linux/Android, because it just works for regular sync, Resilio on my Media server and Mobile devices, because it has Selective Sync, Tailscale on mobile devices and a single server at home for remote access and remote control.

Wow, beautiful.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this bus in some BBC productions, like Agatha Christy, Foyle's War and such.

If you're gonna get take out pizza, why pay more than Little Seizures prices, since the quality is the same?

Wow, there's a name I haven't heard for years, not since my Bionic!

I have a copy hanging around. I need a software indexing tool to keep track!

This language long predates whatever "spaces" you're taking about, it even predates the "spaces" idea.

The medical communuty, especially psychology, was making this switch multiple decades ago, because it's more useful.

Within CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), it's a foundational element to say "I have condition X", rather than "Condition X has me", otherwise there's no hope of learning new ways, new perspectives, on a given condition.

I refuse to say "I am X". You may choose that, but I'm not going to be constrained to such limiting, ossified, internal dialog.

How does a dishwasher dull a knife?

I run my steak knives through it all the time, they get sharpened 1/4 as often (or less, like 2x a year) as my hand washed chef's knife, which could be sharpened every week (it's a very good Henckels set).
