My internet experience has been slower since switching to Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin. And it's so nice. The things I see are more interesting. The conversations are usually more well thought out. And lowest common denominator dopamine content isn't being driven into my eyeballs by Algorithms. I've legitimately been happier since the Reddit API debacle.

Long live the Old Internet.

Because his lawyer said that he was allowed to do it lol.

I'm not convinced he actually read them. Seems to not be his "thing".

I'm gonna be real. I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.

But... but... it was in the documentation! /s

What killed me about the whole thing was how defensive the dev was about the whole thing, basically calling the reporter a moron for running a command without extensive knowledge of the entire system. I don't care how good the documentation is, if open file proceeds to format your hard drive in some circumstances, you done goofed as a dev.

Who did we think was going to ensure we drink the verification can?

supports Israel’s right to defend itself

Yeah, that's not wrong.

AND that Israel is killing and starving innocents civilians

Yeah, also not wrong. Because in this instance Israel isn't defending itself. They're not taking out imminent threats; at least not exclusively. They're using an attack to justify imperialism and genocide. We even have a very recent example of how that's usually a disaster for everyone involved.

Have a good time with your bitcoin and your crypto and everything else that you're playing with, and we're going to make that one of the greatest industries on Earth. Good luck and God bless you all.

Probably the funniest thing he could have said to them.

Racism trumps self interest, it seems.

I'm actually really surprised they admitted it.

There's nothing "wrong" with things like this happening, per se. All new tech has growing pains and failures. But for North Korea to actually admit failure in anything is surprising to me. I would have expected them to keep their failures quiet or to blame them on external adversaries.

It is much easier to buy one "hefty" physical machine and run ProxMox with virtual machines for servers than it is to run multiple Raspberry Pis. After living that life for years, I'm a ProxMox shill now. Backups are important (read the other comments), and ProxMox makes backup/restore easy. Because eventually you will fuck a server up beyond repair, you will lose data, and you will feel terrible about it. Learn from my mistakes.

When I was in middle school the girl I was crushing on and went on proto-dates with had a dad that was a political science teacher for the high school. He asked me my political leanings and I said "conservative" and my only reasoning was that I didn't dress "weird" or dye my hair.

I think about that a lot and I don't even know why.

Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

This is something I've been shouting from the rooftops every time people online cheer on the idea of "cracking down" on hate speech. It eventually will be used against you because some dipshits will redefine what "hateful" means.

He fell ass-backward into a good idea.

A bullet point list of his policies for those with a short attention span like me.

• Abortion: Supports abortion rights; signed legislation protecting access in Minnesota.
• Climate Change: Aims for 100% clean energy by 2040; streamlined renewable energy project permitting, secured EPA grant.
• Immigration: Backs pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants; expanded state services regardless of status.
• Israel-Gaza: Aligns with Biden-Harris on two-state solution and humanitarian aid in Gaza; condemned Hamas' actions for Oct. 7th attack.
• Gun Control: Evolved stance, now supports assault weapons ban, universal background checks, "red flag" law.
• Economy: Advocated progressive pro-labor legislation; tax cuts for residents with corporate/high earner increases.
• Paid Leave: Signed bill providing paid family/medical leave up to 12 weeks.
• Education: Supports free school meals, tuition-free public higher education for eligible low-income students.
• Marijuana Legalization: Signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana and expunging/resentencing lower-level convictions.

I agree, but it's all relative. This is coming from Biden who has been a huge supporter of Israel, letting them do pretty much whatever they want to do since forever. This seems like a huge step for the man, given where he's coming from.

edit: Just realized I wasn't super clear. I was referring to the consequences part and how even if we want that, just Biden saying something as was reported is a pretty big step from where we were. I pretty much agree completely with @mozz@mbin.grits.dev.

It's wild how more and more brazen people are getting with the blatant racism. Were there always this many virulent racists, or is the right-wing hate machine really that effective?

Porn porn porn porn porn porn porn racism porn. Same as its always been. Maybe more porn now.

Could happen to anyone.

He probably knows all that. Normally all the minority party can do is force these people to state things things out loud and on the record. Besides, things have to be put simply like this because most people put so little thought into what stuff like this means. They have no idea what the legal system is like or how it can be used against them because they just don't pay attention. That's its own problem.

I'm still salty that we never got a proper sequel to the original Prey.

I wish we were, through taxes. Though we'd probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.

no one

I swear to god half the country has been talking about it non-stop for almost a decade now. What do you mean no one is talking about?! We're talking about it! Just because we've started talking about a new thing doesn't mean we stopped talking about the old thing!

"NO ONE."

I SWEAR THIS IS GOING TO TURN ME INTO THE JOKER. It makes my brain itch for the whataboutism when we've been talking about it the whole time.

As always, there is an XKCD for that.

Doesn't that apply to every project hosted in America, too, though? Every project is subject to the jurisdiction in which it is hosted. And I know they're not the only project that accepts error reports and in-app updates. Unless there is more telemetry involved or tracking of out-of-app activity, I'm not seeing cause for alarm here. Though I'm open to evidence that there is.

Yeah, we've heard of it. We've been saying it for like a decade now.

Just because an idea is old, doesn't mean its a bad idea. And we do have mechanisms for modifying the constitution. We just don't do it often because it requires a lot of agreement.

Probably his own indifference. He clearly has no morals, and he'll be surrounded by even more comically evil villains, but I suspect they'll have a problem getting him to care about their pet evil plans. If it isn't making him money or jerking off his ego, he seems to have, traditionally at least, not cared.

This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they'd lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn't want to risk.

Just imagine being that guy's doctor, having to give him bad news with potentially no cure. That has to be nerve wracking.

Newer versions are Homekit compatible and can be controlled over the local network.

Yes. What about that do you think is non-political? Abhorrent politics are still politics.

Well Trump wasn't wrong. Pence is cooked in politics as long as the MAGA crowd run the Republican party, which I think they will for the foreseeable future. I'm sure he'll find some kind of consulting gig or maybe a podcast or radio show that panders to the ultra religious evangelicals or something, but I can't imagine him getting elected anywhere for now.

This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.

She'll be 35 by inauguration day.

Honestly it isn't looking good for any of us.

Maybe

I remember online dating looking more like this from a male perspective.

The Supreme Court isn't really interested in arguments, it seems. They're starting at conclusions and working backwards. In a sane world, you're probably right with the logic. But in a sane world we wouldn't have made it to this point to begin with.

Would this work

Yes.

or would I have problems

Also yes.

I used to do this backing up my "servers". By that I mean some Raspberry Pis and random old PCs running Debian. I even did so successfully when needing to restore the images. But it was fragile and also failed at times, sometimes to great inconvenience when it was a machine serving something important.

I've since moved to a different backup strategy for servers, but if I were to do this with a bare-metal machine I want to preserve, I'd use something like Clonezilla. The maintainers of that project know a whole heck of a lot more than I do of the ins and outs of disk management, backup, and restoration than I do with my simple dd commands. If it is something you're just wanting to do for fun and experience, dd can work. If you're concerned with the security of your data/image, I'd use Clonezilla.
