Government work operates on prevailing wage, can’t specify union or not.

Whether or not they abided by this requirement I couldn’t say.

Was OJ Simpson a rapist along with being a violently abusive and a murderer? Because I think Trump just likes rich rapists like himself, I don’t know that OJ counts.

piracy does not

Piracy is actually a huge driver in both legally purchasing content and secondary purchases (art, toys, statues/models, etc).

The overwhelming majority of pirates also point to the extreme increases in streaming costs as well as the constantly changing landscape of streaming services needed, sometimes to even watch a single show you’d need 3-4 services.

I’d also point out that many out there just want their stuff to be seen. Freddie Wong and Matt Arnold recently made We’re All Gonna Die, which was made available in theaters and then a ton of streaming options.

They then pointed to the availability of a 720p torrent (I’m not going to say that they released it) so everyone could see it. Why? Well maybe people will want to check out their other content, buy merch, or subscribe to their patreon where they make other content.

But to say piracy is not a driver is incorrect.

Interestingly enough, cheaper on bluray at about ~$70 than on DVD at around $120.

Though cheaper still would be a yard sale, the library, or the high seas.

This is my issue now, I need more storage and the prices are ridiculous. I dont see them getting better soon, either, so I’m probably going to buy new.

Self hosting wise, not much, just ran through updates (I prefer to do this manually) and set up a new box which will host another proxmost host and NAS.

The mobo/CPU that became the new server has been replaced with an Asus prime x370-pro and a spare 1700x to be used as a new endeavoros desktop (their defaults are close enough to what I want I dont bother with full manual install). Mostly need it for a KDE 6 box for dev/testing to go alongside the instances of Trixie/Sid, since I’m considering arch for some work stuff that Debian won’t fit the bill for.

Warning

☢️ This is an early-stage project, and while the driver and nmdctl management tool have been tested in both virtualized environments and some physical setups, data loss is still a possibility. This is mainly intended for DIY enthusiasts comfortable with Linux command line usage.

Use at your own risk, and always have backups!

No, I would not trust it with important data.

This was going to be exactly my suggestion

Just to point out its utility, I use rclone at home to sync my data elsewhere, and I use it extensively at work for internal systems and client systems.

Sync for replicating one site to another, bisync for bidirectional. Extremely flexible.

Tucker Carlson defending himself, he claimed a playboy model tried to extort trump.

Fox’s legal team argued that his comments couldn’t reasonably be considered factual, and that any viewer should be skeptical about what he says.

That was on his show though, not the news program.

My FIL got back to me this morning, he’s only using an editor and printing his own music, so unfortunately no recommendations to be had there sorry.

I want to caveat with I have not used any of this. This is just a link I sent to my FIL so he could find something to fit his needs, maybe it will help you too.

TIL - thats neat! I use the phrase all the time, so did my dad. His dad was the first generation born in the US, somewhere from southern Ireland (not much in the way of paperwork to track before that).

Oh definitely they are my preferred overall.

I tend to find mostly dells, with a few HP’s and lenovos. Next to me are… 3 lenovos, 4 dells, and 2 HP’s. A few more are in the bin behind me I’ll need to test and sort out before I put into use (anything dead I salvage what I can).

Edit: And the lenovos almost always seem to have a full GPU in them which is nice

Completely fair, I was thinking of the little 15W desk lamp stuff, but the bigger/brighter incandescents could rival my desktop for sure!

Similar cost, more flexibility, quite a bit more power - usff PCs. Tiny / mini / micro, used. Less wattage than an incandescent light bulb, and some can compete with a pi 5 in idle power consumption.

I’ve got an elitedesk 800 (i5-7500t) clocking in at about 6W at idle. Take a look and see if it will work for you.

Some things are still required to operate during a shutdown.

That said, these are illegal layoffs and are already being challenged in court. Unfortunately that also means it will take time, and the supreme court is a complete fucking farce at this point.

Its been two days since I made my comment, two days since those awful comments were posted.

Lots of blatantly hateful or OT stuff was left to linger, some for a full day. My comment stands.

File storage, please.

Those DVDs will not last as long as you think.

They said a hint of the kind of person, you took that to nazi. There is a lot more up on DHH’s blog… including complaining about being called a nazi, btw.

Because, you know… he’s a nazi. Even that “wahhhh” post is just full of nazi talking points.

Edit: Just to be clear, this is not the only example.

I really don’t understand how anyone can say he isn’t what he is - a nazi.
