As usual, policy and procedures without properly defined controls burn us. Honestly, why did we even go through that whole re-org after the WW2 outage if we’re not actually going to adhere to our own policies?

This is why I’ve been arguing against rebase merges. If we aren’t super careful with older branches, we end up with messes like this. Maybe just squash and merge in the future?

I haven’t found a solid answer for this…does XMPP support proper history nowadays? I remember using XMPP servers back around 2012 and if you didn’t have your client open, you just missed messages in rooms. If that’s still the case, it’s a pretty significant draw back…

You could fit both of those cars inside a Canyonero!

“Children of Time” surprised me quite a bit. It was a gift from a family member. One of those “oh…they like sci-fi…” kind of gifts. And it was really good.

They are untrustworthy, and some like to bite cars.

Swans.

I know it’s not the most popular, but I’ve genuinely been happy with Matrix for the last few years. Obviously there are problems, but it really has gotten fairly stable. At least…for me…

Yes.

ICE has some reporting requirements that they are (Maybe? To some extent?) still following.

This tool was doing some collection for that: https://github.com/Open-Security-Mapping-Project/ice_detention_scraper

(Development has hit a bit of a snag recently unfortunately.)

There must be in-groups that the law protects but doesn’t bind, and out-groups that the law binds but doesn’t protect.

People’s Front of Judea will triumph!

This sign won’t stop me! I can’t read!

People mentioned Ad Busters and others, but No Logo was pretty formative for me. It’s not exactly what you asked about (it’s a book, not a movement), but I think it continues to point that people have been acting against advertising for decades.

Just, you know, they don’t have a ton of money…

I don’t understand… It wasn’t even an Arch-based distro!

His mouth is too big. Like he was stacking hockey pucks in his mouth right before this image.

I would rather he stack hockey pucks in his mouth.

btrfs can pool disks just fine. Create a RAID nice and quick.

There’s also btrfs send and receive. Which may be what you need for shipping the data? You can use SSH for a secure write…

If this is a one-time copy, I’d strongly consider just syncing the data vs. shipping drives (which, as people have pointed out, may have serious reliabilty concerns).

Otherwise, if you must ship, I’d say the best move is two copies of each piece of data, so any single drive failing in shipping isn’t a big deal. But not a RAID. Just two literal copies on two separate drives. Simplest way to ensure some redundancy.

To be fair, he’s a sea captain, not a pirate.

You can even have like…40 taskbars floating in the middle of the screen!
