No, it doesn't matter if the book is at a library or on my friend's bookshelf, copyright law is literally the right to copy the thing. So if I make an illegal copy, I'm breaking copyright law. The "ToS" I've "agreed" to is the law of the country I'm in.

Oh look, the media tacitly linking a worker strike to a death. Color me surprised /s.

This should be blaming the entity who is both legally and ethically responsible for the death: the employer who treated its workers poorly enough that a strike was necessary.

Afaik the cookie policy on your site is not GDPR compliant, at least how it is currently worded. If all cookies are "technically necessary" for function of the site, then I think all you need to do is say that. (I think for a wiki it's acceptable to require clients to allow caching of image data, so your server doesn't have to pay for more bandwidth).

There was literally no justification to force them out of their car. Glass called the police, there was no crime. Yeah, this isn't even negligence, they just wanted to LARP as a SWAT team that night, should have been straight up murder charges.

The man wants to become meme? Then give it to him.

My recommendation would be, have two machines: new hw for all your services, and use the old hw for your NAS. Each could be whatever OS you're comfortable with using. Most everything on the services machine could be in docker configs, including network mount points to the NAS. You might be able to get away with using the 1080TI in the services box depending on what all you want to do (AI stuff, or newer stream transcoding requirements may require newer hw).

Moving the data from the old NAS to a new one without new disks will be a challenge, yes.

I have a TrueNAS box and used jails for services. I recently set up a debian box separately, and am switching from jails on truenas to docker on debian. Wish I had done this from the start.

I don't think there is such a thing as over-the-top with this issue. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. And we're already miles past that point.

We've basically hired someone to disassemble our car while we're driving it. The Republican party claims the goal is weight reduction so we can go faster, but Musk/Trump/etc.'s goal is for the car to break down irreparably. Any "backtracking" you see is so they can keep up the illusion that they have the same goal.

The goal is to permanently cripple the US government beyond repair.

Lol they said that and my first thought was, "what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?"

I mean...can we really ascribe a political ideology to someone who specifically demands to not be taken seriously? If they were going for "right-wing", then they are their own worst critic.

This link gives a 404 now. Archive anywhere? Was it legit?

Good. I want more of them to do it. Let's get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it's not what it literally is.

I'd venture to guess this isn't the first time Linus has had to deal with devs who have ideological disagreements and one quits. It's not also his job to keep that from happening. What he said is true, there's a process they have for maintaining Linux, and it doesn't involve flame wars on social media.....it involves flame wars over email 😅.

But seriously, if a devs are going to get upset at each other and rage quit, it's not Linus' job to play mediator.

"Um, yeah, but we could have already known everything thousands of years ago if we had just made any effort. AI is just a worse version of what evolution already made between my ears. We could have already blown the planet up 70 years ago. The beginning of time is sooooo 13.8 billion years ago, YAWN!" - OP probably

This service isn't for CEOs, it's for upper middle class people with recency bias.

I'd like to request that you please read my posts in full before responding, and don't skim it and assume you understand the jist of what I'm saying. This method is failing you.

I think your COVID denialist is showing a bit

I'm not saying covid was equivalent to the flu, I'm saying that for the vast majority of cases, it didn't progress to be life threatening. That's just the data.

My point is, that makes a big difference when you're talking about people who ignore data and don't have empathy outside their in-group. What they see every day matters more than what anyone tells them, or what theoretical people are experiencing. And once the full economic impact of these executive orders becomes felt, it's going to affect almost everyone far more than a being "out sick" for a couple weeks. They won't have jobs, they won't be able to afford food, it's not something they will be able to ignore.

If you seriously think the red states...are going to ever come around to acknowledge that they were swindled by this loser and turn on him en masse, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Again, his core base will buy into his rhetoric for sure, they'll get grifted to their grave. But his core base didn't get him elected, people voting against inflation did, and rhetoric won't put food on their table, that's why Harris lost.

Those who voted against inflation are on their last leg as it is. 10 years ago 70% of the US was living paycheck to paycheck, 5 years ago credit card debt began to spike, today the general population holds more debt than our entire GDP. Most people simply don't have the luxury of being complacent during this term. Protests today won't fizzle, they'll progress into civil unrest. And Trump has made it clear by the amount of power he's consolidating under the executive branch that he has no intention of ceding power in a future election, so he's going to be the one most people blame for the situation. Not his base, but most people.

I don't agree that covid was a representative "test run" of suffering we're willing to tolerate, because I think 1% of people with 100% suffering (i.e. death) is not the same as 99% of people with, let's say 50% suffering (losing jobs, not having enough food, poor healthcare). Like it or not, for most people, covid was a minor inconvenience. For most people it did amount to a flu. But this presidency is poised to be much more impactful to more people, IMO. And I think that will make a huge difference in how red states react.

It is impressive how bad their picks have been. I honestly don't think they could be worse if Putin was appointing them directly.
