Fare from Mars back to Earth should always be free.

Not sure "asshole" is right for Torvalds...maybe there's another word to describe him...

(See the last bit in Notable Usage.)

"...I really don't want to have to wipe the thing because it's running a headless OS"

I feel like logging in as root on a headless system and hoping you type the command(s) to restore functionality is a rite of passage.

...or is it about an hour from damn time? I can never remember.

I've been pleased with it. Family is very relaxed about projects like this, but yeah it's low power draw. I don't think I have anything special set up but the right thing to do for power would be to spin down drive when not in use, as power is dominated by the spinning rust.

Uptime is great. Only hiccups are that it can choke when compiling the ZFS kernel modules, triggered on kernel updates. It's an rpi 3/1GB RAM (I keep failing at forcing dkms to use only 1 thread, which would probably fix these hiccups 🤷).

That said, it is managed by me, so sometimes errors go unnoticed. I had recent issues where I missed a week of rsync because I switched from pihole to technitium on my home server and forgot to point the remote rpi there. This would all have been fixed with proper cron email setup...I'm clearly not a professional :)

Not the same, but for my Immich backup I have a raspberry pi and an HDD with family (remote).

Backup is rsync, and a simple script to make ZFS snapshots (retaining X daily, Y weekly). Connected via "raw" WireGuard.

Setup works well, although it's never been needed.

I wonder, legally, if there is a difference between the companies that simply raised prices, and the ones who kept the price the same but added another line item to the invoice that covered the tariff.

IANAL, but for the former, it seems like the company may be entitled to keep the money (of course it's morally wrong). For the latter though, it seems like maybe (???) there's some stronger legal pressure on the companies.

Or not. But at least CAH is doing the right thing, as others have pointed out!

Link(s) in post contain punctuation and break, at least on my client. Here's the codeberg link (working);

Indeed. The quoted passage made it sound like this was unique naval terminology, as opposed to standard nautical terminology. It's not wrong, I just thought it was worded peculiarly.

(It's not just the Navy


they're called "heads" on recreational vessels, too.)

I mean, isn't that what ringing is for---asking if they want to talk? It's ok to decline a call.

They made the decision that would save the most lives, which is their job.

But they lied to the public, which undermines trust; IMHO this was a myopic decision.

As for the people doing what's best for society, that's antithetical to American individualism

Can't speak for everyone, but Flex Alerts in California do indeed work (it's when we're asked to reduce energy consumption).

your faith was proven wrong with both masks and toilet paper being bought for resale at predatory prices, or just to maintain personal supplies at the expense of everyone else.

That's a fallacy/faulty generalization


I'm not saying everyone behaves well, but from my experience, the vast majority do. The pandemic for me was a time where I really felt like we looked out for our fellow people, at least locally.
