There are rules for backups and role separation. Some of that is in iso27002, and none of it is even known by these lost boys bereft of proper mentorship and bouyed by their own accidental success.

One day, I wish to go back to Hanauma Bay, Fernbank, the GA Aquarium, NYC, Seattle, sanfran, and travel to see more and new tourism spots. I want to drive across it; or a train if possible.

None of this will happen while there’s a chance I can be kidnapped for 6 weeks. And it’s not gonna happen for a while after.

I truly hope the USA can become an American Union of freely-associated states, like the EU. Let them each choose a new governor, etc, via whatever means, let them pool resources for stuff as agreed, let people migrate freely to where they’re most happy. Let the bigoted uneducated masses occupy the (downstream) portions of the inner-states if they want, but they’re gonna have to trade for what they get handed now.

In short, though, I don’t think hanauma bay is in the cards. So we’re already to where mom can’t go with us to honour and remember my uncle where he was happiest. We’ll be honoring them both when we go back, and that’s just a fact of life.

I’d like to host micro-instances for 1-2 subs for software: XYZApp-news and XYZApp-help or so, on the equivalent of a spur or leaf node.

But aPub seems to need M:M comms and so it needs to be out in the world instead of hidden behind an aPub proxy. True?

iOS is 60% of users in the US, where the author is from.

But only 30% of the known universe, where the author is from.

The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.

[I’m] very concerned about what this summer holds.

Death. The summer holds death.

This region will become VERY hot, like 2021, where we had a town actually burn down from, essentially, 46 degree temperatures and 0% humidity. Without A/C, pets left at home will die. Then untended seniors locked into commercial body-storage long-term care centres. The homeless will die unobserved in an alley in puddles of their own creation.

I hope with a desperate hope that I’m wrong: that we can get to September without widespread calamity. We have A/C, we’ve reached out to people who may want to ‘visit’ us on the hottest days (aware that the building has a ‘max 2 week overnight visitor’ policy (for real) but no compunctions on daytime couch-dwellers when the sun is hottest, couch is comfortablest, cool shower is most delightful).

The local hospital just built an ungodly-large new wing … with a big expanse of parking beside it and no parking underneath when they could have built 6 levels underneath with a perfect exit/entrance at the bottom of the hill on the major thoroughfare, for ambulances. The reason why this is disappointing is because it’s an excellent homeless shelter cooling zone in the daytime: underground concrete holds the cool of the 15c ground for hours into the daytime.

(And while it’s at risk of being over-used as a permanent homeless encampment, I say fucking let it: it’s a sprinkler-protected area under a hospital with a massive new addictions/abuse/psyche wing, which could be delineated for permanent storage or residence and locked per-floor like the parking garage under mixed-use buildings have delineated resident/commercial areas. With mandatory labeling, no-fire rules but with block-heater outlets per-space for charging phones, it’s just missing ‘temporary’ fencing for safety and security and a sunday-clear-out-for-cleaning rule. I can think of nothing better to put under a hospital than a massive versatile parking/storage/cooling space)

It’s ‘maxing’. It’s like ‘faxing’, ‘taxing’, or ‘relaxing’. Here’s your tree.

Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.

Extend comes after Embrace; sure. Historically, guess what comes next.

Your efforts to educate failed the moment you pegged GDP as a measure of happiness. You sure you’re not American?

I’m not allowed anywhere near it.

I’ve seen it once or twice, by special permissin only, and with an escort.

Exactly this. We’re in places with concrete tank traps out front and retina scanners and guards behind the glass and all that craziness – but aside from the tank traps it’s all second-hand info from one of the 4 people I know - of thousands - who can actually go onsite and get in. If he doesn’t send the change request beforehand, and it’s all approved and whatnot, the guards will NOT enable the door. No tools in/out, no 3rd-party media out, etc.

Like, really, man, no one’s getting in. I guess that means I get downvotes; I dunno.

The DCs where my stuff is stored? You’re not getting in. It’s just not happening.

Thanks, uh, for sharing?

No headphone jack? Stays on the rack.

Plough?

What would ironically sickening look like?

I’m 5-11 and the rare times I fly I go for the upgrade just to keep the rage at bay. I feel for David as his experience must only be excruciating.

The last time I flew home and couldn’t get the Bump was so challenging, with some fucking kid kicking my seat constantly (probably out of boredom. I get it, but there are options). After a few escalating glances at his parent, I did consider asking whether he was going to police his child or whether I need to teach him some words I learned in the army so he could repeat them at school. Just then, we got the “tray table” announcement, though, and the child had other things to focus on.

Mark should signal through admin staff that he’s cancelling his travel plans and call it a day. He has better things to worry about, and when the yanks’ federal rep has a better attitude they can just rebook.

#bothsides?

Whoosh.

Does it advocate hate? Then it’s hate speech.
