    Sure, they can technically move the plane on regular roads too

    Well, not really. Or technically, they can if they move fast enough. If they stop, wherever they are will stop being a road quickly.

    And there’s that entire problem of making room for the wings. It’s one of the largest problems when designing airports.













  • I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

    If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

    Then I started reading about backing up databases

    Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

    now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

    What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

    Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

    It’s also ridiculous to assume that the driver that you’re letting through would just stop checking for oncoming traffic

    That’s why the asshole future assassin creates an entire wall of cars stopped behind him, making it impossible for you to see if any car is coming on the other lane.

    And also stays there, for as long as needed, stopping the flow on two different directions, putting the social pressure on you to follow along.
