  • Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

    I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn't really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad...

  • I do something similar --- I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It's at family's house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

    It's a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can't talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

    Even our "slow" 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.

  • I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.

    Googling around, the brand gets...mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it's not a big deal.

  • Pretty obvious fix here --- fire the CDC researchers.

  • poweroff and reboot work as advertised for me, but I'm running headless homelab servers and a laptop with i3. Maybe DEs/GUI shutdown is more subtle?

  • Yeah, I run i3 and headless servers, so it's poweroff or reboot for me. Always works as advertised.

  • Except on the Linux systems I've used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).

    I think that's what the meme is trying to get at.

    *Turmeric. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen someone forget the first R I'd have like three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but still kinda interesting.

  • Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

    https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b

    It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

    Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say

    https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4

    The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement --- supposed to be credible --- is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.

  • Bezos is Washington Post, not WSJ...

  • Never said that at all. I've had some fantastic food in England.

  • Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure --- but go to a first class US city and you'll find great food.

  • Good on CO. I'm in California and not eligible --- I hope we do the same and/or the WA-OR-CA vaccine pact that's been mentioned elsewhere comes to the rescue.

  • I've honestly never understood people who feel the need to "replace" Spotify. ... Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.

    I don't know how to say this, but...you have extremely uncommon use-cases:

    ...during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I'll use an MP3 player), or it's in Airplane Mode.

    Many people listen to music on stereos and don't necessarily want a device plugged in, so

    I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC.

    either doesn't work or is substantially less convenient than e.g. casting from a phone.

    Not hating on your setup at all, but it's very niche, in my experience.

  • The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it's something that someone might be self conscious about.

    "Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man" would be also be offensive IMHO, because it's singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don't want to be singled out.

    Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

    Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state --- if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don't step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there's a power failure).

    Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.

  • I once took a Lyft and the push alert was, "Look for Jesus in a white Toyota Camry."

  • It's a line from The Kinks' Lola.

    The first bit, not the bit about fascists. But I suspect they'd be on board with that.
