When I criticize my baby, he looks me in the eyes and asserts dominance with a "what you gonna do about it?" shit grin.

Comparing him to Stephen Miller is just offensive.

I'm in California, but we still (currently) have the same federal bullshit requirements. Doctor friend said I should lie.

Made an appointment, and the pharmacist asked if I was immunocompromised, or XYZ, and I just told them that I qualify---no follow up questions, just a jab in the arm.

To be fair, I do have anxiety that my government is trying to kill me, but that's just crazy...

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.

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?

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

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.
