I run https://no.lastname.nz on equivalent to oracle's free service (I do have a subscription so I can run a backup etc) and before that it was on a vps at quantomcore https://secure.quantumcore.com.au

same here

Local I have trueNAS raid Z2 for photos/docs/home dirs/etc (backed up to backblase) and a zfs mirror for music/movies/etc not backed up

has the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights

Why does a bible need these things?

Oh I feel the pain

did london via LAX as well. This was my only experience of the US:

Arrive LAX and do the whole enter the US customs, the agent asks if anyone has had access to my baggage to which I answered "everyone here with security access". The shit head was not impressed and let me know.

I run proxmox and a trunas VM.

  • TrueNAS is on a virt disk on a NVME drive with all the other VMs/LXCs
  • I pass the HBA through to TrueNAS with PCI passthrough: 6 disk Raid z2. this is 'vault' and has all my backups of hone dirs and photos etc
  • I pass through two HDs as raw disks for bulk storage (of linux ISOs): 2 disk Mirrored zfs

Seems to work well

We have had many of these by-laws here in NZ over the last 20 years.

It is slightly as there was/is laws about being drunk and disorderly, just use these and let me have a glass of wine with a picnoc with family and friends

I had a pair of adidas that looked like them maybe 30 years ago, they were the best, most comfortable shoes I've owned

let me guess, the didn't fill it with iron that would corrode and expand and blow out the concrete? or the fact that it has an excess of fired lime that re-seals cracks?

Quick lime as a 'concrete' is nothing new, or newly rediscovered though... The story seems to come up every few years, and anyone that has used a fluidised lime boiler knows how good quick lime is at forming concrete.

But all life is given by God, is it not?

If the above is true, then you can't shoot some random stranger

If the above is not true, then give women autonomy over their bodies

and that one guy (Lasse) was burnt out and pressured [by jia?] to step back and let jia be the person that the whole internet infrastructure relied upon

Even the media that is supporting the 'right' is being weird

You can get really good weather proof zips that wont fail like a 'zip-loc bag' would. The seals on those bags fail bad if they get a bend or kink in them

it's worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt

I would say "Why don't these old farts just turn over and die", but they are not that much older than I am - so it cant be an age issue. This only leaves them as bigoted arseholes - I still wish that they would turn over and die

I would suggest to auto seed anything until 2x or more, then if then if it is still seeding well keep it going... any torrent that uas under 10 hoasts in the swarm I'll keep seeding, like forever. My top 10 seeds (all with under 10 in the swarm) are all over a ratio of 50 and one is in the 100's

Keep the hard to find stuff alive

The fact that there isnt one is useed as proof of a flat earth, I wonder what they will come up with when this goes in?

The Au and NZ experience with guns and pop culture vs the US is vastly different.

NZ is up there with gun ownership (in the top 20 per capita), but we have a very different culture around them, they are a hunting tool and not a misogynistic tool here. There was a bit of backlash with our last tightening of our laws - but to be frank, I got my licence after the law change with little difficulty, and who needs a semi auto AR style rifle other that those that can apply for for the appropriate licence?
