Sides. But try not to get caught up in the us vs them drama.

The key point is that Mr Ford is using populism to promote populism, with no actual history where he stands up to bullies as much as he stands up to caregivers and citizens; and populism is the schtick of his party and the national cons, but isn’t a common thread in other parties as they campaign on rights and consolidated services instead.

reboot workstations every 10 days or so people.

No.

Only reboot if needs-rebooting says so.

• nothing will take 5 minutes.
• build a queue of clean, suspended VMs if you need them that fast

All cops are bastards. Full stop.

Generalizations are a fun kind of hate.

invoke the 5th amendment.

“I Invoke the 5th!”

“Sir, in Canada we don’t call them amendments. And the 5th means you have to answer but you get immunity. So keep talking.”

Yeah, that’s where I stopped. Learn another adverb!

The rich coastal states that can bail out should definitely do so. Cascadia now!

I think it has a container crutch. If it can install on a system and update like all my other stuff (automatically) then I’m in. I don’t have time to pop containers 6000km away with minimal tech support when they blow up.

Whoosh

Do we at least get a participation medal, or can we buy one?

What other costly mistakes can we buy ourselves out of?

Gulf of America

No such place.

didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues

That’s my biggest beef. But I think maybe it’s “ugly like a Mazda truck”, as in, it’s plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it’s just simple and great.

That’s my hope anyway.

worried that when the deportation start, everyone who can grab the first plane they came out of the US

The logic is sound. Flights will be snapped up like pandemic loo roll.

Unmarried up and learned the same thing about the fancy tickets. Travel less often, and also don’t hate it as much.

Refusing to hold Democrats accountable is also voting for Fascism.

As mentioned oh, so, so, so many times, voting for the least worst option doesn’t preclude holding them to account. That part comes after, once democracy is assured.

Except, people voted for cruelty and fascism to really stick it to the Dems. Now there’s worse fascism and no democracy.

Good job.

Feel proud.

From the article:

literally

Look; if you’re a journalist, pretend you know other words. I’m so fucking done.

I’m at the age where shit just needs to work. Some sort of remote desktop, or NAS or a combo might be the better easier route.

I get that. I don’t built machines anymore - time sink - and I don’t rebuild my kernel, etc.

But the synch you’re thinking quickly puts you into a tier higher than you may have time for. And a NAS gets you most of the way there as long as you understand and accept a failed NAS (or its OS, or a non-redundant disk setup) is going to hose your work everywhere instead of just on the one discrete machine you were using previously. You’re trading one risk for another, and that may be a big deal.

Re-examine your goals, and be really sure to separate what needs to synch vs what doesn’t (hint: user data synchs, most OS setup does not) and then see if you can carve out a decent solution with that. Maybe it’s as simple as an eBayed refurb NAS and another offsite for backup.

Wait till

New kind of plough?

I wouldn’t be surprised if zoom does something similar.

Have you considered that Microsoft is just being a dick? After decades of doing so, it’d be okay to assume this time too.

Zoom could also be a dick, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt.
