Uh, in that case, I'll take two.

That's a problem with the shell though, not the filesystem. It doesn't matter which files filesystem you're using; most interactive shells use spaces as token separators and therefore spaces in filenames need to be enclosed in quotes or escaped.

Make sure some of your backups are kept offline (so that they won't be encrypted along with everything else) and also test that they work regularly! Otherwise they might not do what you think they do.

That means you've never heard Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, which is a shame because it rocks.

I'd totally pay for NSA+ to live-stream American phone calls and Internet traffic.

Bingo. Buy a VPN for privacy just means, give us your data instead of your ISP.

Now, a VPN provider may very well be more trustworthy than your ISP! But then again, maybe not... That depends on your circumstances and risk profile.

Friendly reminder that Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is in order of priority.

We should require deposit-based packaging (like beer bottles) for most consumable goods.

Canadian Tire

Eyuuuup, there's your problem right there.

I once read on the big Canadian Tire sign: "HIRING AUTOMOTIVS TECHS / NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY"

Yeah, no thanks.

TL;DR- hosts must prove that the property for rent is their primary residence, and 50% of service fees go into community land trusts to support affordable housing.

I'd certainly support it over the other guys if it's available in my travel destinations.

That makes sense to me. Access speed and disc space are often inversely related. It's like pre-optimizing the file for faster consumptionater by adding more information at "compile time" vs "run time".

Google doesn't sell your raw personal data. They refine it and then sell it.

Bryan Ropar's tattoo, probably.

They seem kind of slow, but you can be assured that they will always make time for taking the garbage out.

Whoops, I accidentally deleted my comment. Here's the link again for posterity: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1311_05-08_mickens.pdf

This sounds like something James Mickens would write.

My favourite by him: The Night Watch (PDF)

why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China

From the description of the video, should you care to read it:

Global News was on board the Canadian military aircraft reporting on the mission, which is part of Operation NEON, Canada’s contribution to helping enforce sanctions against North Korea, when the aggressive intercepts took place.

Ok, but the meme says "functional before 8:30 am" so if it sounds like they are functional (out of bed, presumably) after 8:30. I guess I'm curious who's hassling them about not being awake at 8 am.

Yeah?

What are they talking about? Is 9-5 not the standard office grind? It's not even polite to phone someone before 9 am.

I originally switched from Podcast Addict to Google Podcasts for seamless integration when listening to podcasts directly on Google Home devices. Hopefully this means better Google Home integration with popular third-party podcast apps, but it probably just means we'll be forced to use YouTube Music instead. :-/
