For this kind of stuff, I prefer primary sources. But their point about records requests being horseshit is believable because I've had to file FOIAs and local records requests before and understand the requirements.

Back to my original comment - the "EpsteinDocs.zip" file has a _MACOSX folder that contains some kind of metadata dupes of the PDFs themselves. Probably where you're getting the 2x count from.

There has to be a better source than 404 media, no?

Edit: Ah I see, had to pay a public records fee for them. $35.

Reminds me a lot of the Kennedy assassination documents, but less unreliable witness grifty.

This just in: Nothingburger

Good bot

Look into SoloKeys and NitroKeys and see if there's products from those vendors that fit your needs.

P trap

I remember using 2k for a long time, after the laughably unstable previews where mice would go crazy. I don't remember exactly what the tool was called, but I was an MCSE back then and had the big binder of MS discs, so I would build my own windows ISOs with a bunch of the built in drivers stripped out and slip stream other packages like Firefox in. Would end up with core installs of only a few hundred MBs. Did the same with XP when it came out, but I started daily driving Ubuntu around 2004 and I left Windows behind for the most part with the exception of work.

I'm sure battery life is still better with Windows, but it's not enough to make me want to go back to it, I'd probably pick up a Mac before that happens.

MajorMUD is the only one off the top of my head.

LOL wasn't ME sorry of a bolt on to 98? IIRC that was the most unstable version of Windows I had ever used. It actually forced me to explore Linux as a desktop seriously for the first time (and shit was jacked in 98-00). I seriously used NT4 as a desktop because it was the most stable version of Windows I could find at the time. Hard time playing games though.

I'd rather go back to the 90s! The good old times, when devs can lose all that commercial software source code they are developing when the hard drive crashes! And there were no backups! Sorry people who bought licenses! 😂

Narrator: this happened more than once.

I know some folks that just made a cross country trip in a Tesla model Y. They don't do huge distances every day so it took a couple of weeks but they made it just fine. They did note that the South was really bad for chargers. Something about some state legislatures or municipalities actually passing laws against public charging or something like that. It sounded pretty southern and believable though.

You absolutely need to move from patch to patch and cannot just do a multiple version jump safely. You also need to validate the configs between versions, especially major release updates or you risk breaking. New features and optimizations happen and you also may need to change our update your reverse proxy configuration on update, or modify db table configuration (just puking this from memory as I've had to do it before). I don't know that there's automation for each one of those steps.

Because of that, I run nextcloud in a VM and install it from the binary package. I wrote a shell script that handles downloading, moving the files, updating permissions and copying the old config forward, symlinking and doing the upgrade. Then all I have to do is log in as administrator, check out the admin dashboard and make sure there aren't new things I have to address in the status page. It's a pain, but my nextcloud uses external db and redis and PHP caching so it's not an easy out of the box setup. But it's been solid for a long time once I adopted using this script.

Yeah I was wondering who "nobody" is in this context.

Paraphrased from an alleged quote by Henry II about Thomas Beckett from a millennia ago. I think it was turbulent instead of meddlesome, but you get the drift.

Who will rid us of this meddlesome priest?
