I don’t like living in the future as much as young me thought I would.

Remember the funky 70’s?

I would say you can’t separate the two. It’s a natural extension of Gall’s Law, the simple system that works is the stack.

If this is a whole genre of cat pics, I must see more.

Score one for our side!

Fuck cancer!

I still live in the '96 year of the Linux desktop. Red Hat hasn’t enterprised yet, Debian is the scrappy new underdog, and the kernel maintainers are all young, flexible, and open to new technologies.

You know when users complain about the lingering bugs, unexpected slow downs, and slow delivery of new features caused by tech debt (even though they don’t know that). That’s them caring about your stack, whether they know it or not.

A modern take of the full english. You’ve got your beans, tortilla instead of hashbrowns, red buffalo flavoring in place of the tomato, ranch as a stand-in for sausage, and the self-loathing fills in for the black pudding.

He’s named after Laszlo Cravensworth from What We Do in the Shadows.

But he reminds me of Jackie Daytona, somehow.

I’m my few months there I don’t think he responded to his name, but he knew the sound of us yelling at him from across the field - that would get his attention.

Shhh, you’ll wake it.

I’ve been there. 58008 Cleavage Ct. in Twin Peaks.

In college I did my internship working at a reptile house that did educational events at schools, libraries, fairs, etc. We had several alligators but only one that was allowed to wander the grounds (supervised). The property has a creek with high banks running through it that is all snow melt in the summer, and it was my job to go drag Spike out of the water and into the sun when he’d go sit in the icy water too long and couldn’t get himself back over the bank.

Seeing that person with a gator by the tail trying to keep it out of the water brings that all flooding back. Spike wasn’t that big though.

I am certainly reading too much into this: twins are said to have a special connection and, post-Korra, Avatars have lost a massive connection because of the broken Avatar cycle. Maybe the new Avatar will be able to restore the old connections in some way as part of the cataclysm story line.

General popular buy in.

If 5% of the country tries to strike it’s just going to get 5% of people fired with a poisoned reference on their CV, and get a story on page 3 of a billionaire owned newspaper. In the US right now 45% of the country would actively oppose a general strike, 30% would be oblivious to it happening until they got to work that day and wondered why Chris and Pat aren’t in, and 20% would decline for fear of reprisal (sans union protection).

In what way is Elon crashing out? He’s spending his days turning the US in the fascist kleptocracy that he and his apartheidist father used to dream about while they were abusing the children working their emerald mines, all the time selling thousands of his wankpanzers to the military at a massive markup, and gathering every citizens bank account details.

You’d think he’d have learned by now that you should always get a second opinion when Ubuntu gave you your first one.

Everything backs up to a Synology diskstation (with disk redundancy). The Syno’s Hyperbackup makes backups of critical stuff stuff to the cloud weekly. In the case of my self-hosted stuff, it’s mostly the share storage where all my docker volumes map to. Also workstation backsups, home assistant backups, phone photos, etc.

A back up of the temporally replaceable stuff (everything not covered above) which is hosted from the Diskstation, is made to an external drive a few times a year and stored off-site the rest of the time. This isn’t 3-2-1, but its close enough for my needs.
