  • I have two hens.

    One is a fat hybrid that lays all year round and thinks it's a dog. Dog chicken looks like the top picture.

    The other is a Dutch bantom that is scared of its own shadow and won't let us within 10m of it but only lays for 5 months and for the rest of the year looks like the bottom picture.

  • The mobile apps need to align themselves with Lemmy.

  • The film/TV industry splitting into 5+ services wasn't a good thing. Advocating for the same system for music could be good for artists but would suck for consumers.

  • Automattic will have to [...] remove the checkbox that asks WordPress users to verify they’re not affiliated with WP Engine when logging in.

    That is petty af.

  • The last 20 minutes were a wild ride.

  • As a non American I look at the news stories with absolute shock. And popcorn 🍿

  • Nothing, but the lines get blurry if you are not in a position to do this without help. If instead you need someone to push you off the cliff then that is very different legally.

  • It isn't? Going to give me nightmares

  • Or anyone that does automation. Pretty much any Windows sysadmin.

  • How did you copy windows from one drive to another? It is likely this step broke your Windows install.

  • I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂

  • It looks like a praying mantis

  • In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!

    I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.

    It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn't afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.

    I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.

    I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.

    This was my lesson.

    I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.

    Backups are super, SUPER important. I've lost count how many times I've logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it's always reassuring how easy it is to restore.
