Once it leaves my home, I no longer fully control it, which is unacceptable.
Until it leaves your home, it's not really a backup, it's just another version. Finding a media to survive a fire is solving the wrong problem. The correct problem is to find a way for your data to survive a catastrophe that may or may not be of a type that you can guess before it happens, and the correct solution is off-site backups. Off-site does not imply cloud based, although cloud does qualify. A safe deposit box at a bank also works. Your grandmothers attic works. There are plenty of places that are outside your home but within your control.
Privileged hipster? Hey, I did my time at McDonald's so I know a shitty job when I see one. But it got me through college and college got me a reasonable job and that got me started on a career. I'm not in a big city, not (right) on a coast, and definitely not at a start up.
With all of that said, call center jobs are the sixth level of hell, and I would not recommend to my worst enemy taking that path. "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
See, science has this thing where many scientists and science faithful feel the need to disprove God.
I respectfully disagree. I do agree that many of the God faithful perceive science and scientists in this way, but I don't think that this need of disproof is central to science or the scientific mindset. Many scientists that I have known personally believe in the existence of God. In fact I met a biology professor who claimed that the longer he studied biology the more convinced he became that God not only exists, but has a sense of humor.
Science is about what you can observe and measure in the world around us, and what you can conclude from those observations, the what, where and how of the universe, so to speak. Philosophy in general, and religion in particular, deal with the why of the universe. There is no real reason for these two disciplines to be at odds with each other, but here we are. Again.
Unmaintained windows packages? Are you using ActiveState? Try Strawberry Perl instead. It comes bundled with a Mingw32 build of GCC, which might seem like overkill, but it has been able to build from source any package I have thrown at it. Just use cpan.bat instead of ppm.bat.
Here, here. Also, maintenance is a good way to learn how things can break, and from that you can learn how to build things that are less likely to break in the first place. One thing that people who work with me hear over and over again is "Fix it so it stays fixed."

My high school English teacher was Mr Garrison. I never met Mr. Slave.
This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
No, two of them! At opposite ends of the galaxy!
Carry multiple pass phrases with you, and give the attacker the wrong one.
Yes, we're there. They just have a really long driveway.
When I first saw this story it reminded me of an old magazine cover, so I went digging.

But not a new idea.

In this case, the "proxy for talent and dedication" would be "not working in a call center".
IRL there is a Real Name policy. Nobody goes around and calls themselfs Anonymous Coward or Raven.
That's so Raven ...
Remote Acess Trojan. Has anyone ever heard this acronym used before?
"Toolkit" is also an acceptable answer. Hearkens from the Back Orifice days.
... or the one.
K9 on Android used to work for me until I updated to 4.4 KitKat. Now it just crashes on startup.
OT: excellent nick.
If you have nothing to lose, then it's not really "taking a stand", is it?
Or should you perhaps do the right thing instead, and call into question why yet again the threat of legal liability is turning humans into robots.
Too late, we're already there. As soon as you blame the system, you are the system.
Seriously, who even sees ads anymore?
Bitter much?

Congratulations, you've just fallen victim to the reverse-Streisand. Can't say that I blame you though, this is the biggest one since New Coke.
This guy is crying. Can't you see the tears roll down the street?

Shit is what's left after all the sorting is done and the useful parts have been sent where they're needed.
