there is a shift happening. things are bleak af for a while then, suddently all at once, something breaks. a us senator getting off his ass and getting proof of life on his constituent gives me, and I think many others, fire to keep on. these fascist fuckers are not inevitable.

fixing this absolute clusterfuck is going to take time and warm bodies on the streets and lawyers in courts in front of judges that uphold the constitution and members of Congress that tell the truth and a million acts of defiance across the country. its been happening and its getting bigger.

not only is noscript your general browsing prophylactic, but it will often render js paywalls climbable. I have no other plugin as loved and as useful as noscript - immediate install on any firefox instance.

gotta love the not so subtle use of red shipping containers in many of these thumbnails. perfect!

still hopeful that, if trumps idiocy does not directly blow us all to hell, an economic downturn may give us another COVID style environmental breather. silver linings and all that.

elbows up, my friend. elbows up!

old info? have things flipped?

we seem to like it dirty.

[…]our refineries were designed to process oil coming from Mexico and Venezuela. “And a lot of that tends to be relatively heavy and relatively high in sulfur,”

based on proven reserves it looks like venezuela is gonna get canada’d harder than usual.

good observation. wonder how texas and louisiana “drill baby drillers” are doin’ right now…

and, as trump shrinks us soft power, whats left? the chance of direct US military involvement against non-trivial opponents is skyrocketing. remember, trump declared himself a “wartime president” last term - he loves this shit.

ediit: missing word

Current soy volumes being shipped do not yet reflect the effects of the new trade war, the analysts said. They believe an escalation will direct more Chinese demand to Brazil over time, as was the case in 2018.

slow motion footgun is the best footgun.

honestly, these days can we be absolutely sure they are not?

regardless of the probable misuse of the term, this story (if otherwise accurate) has fucked up my day in an outsized way.

because you’re not alive to be kidnapped after

here in america there are strict reconstruction era lynching standards to uphold and pass along to future generations. yessiree bob! a fine US export, to be sure.

dammit! where can I send you my “spat coffee on keyboard” cleaning bill, huh?!

depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.

yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.

it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.

RAID controllerfor those drives? how many processors and cores? how much RAM? what OS are you planning on running on it? iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)

this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.

fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.

this is next level insanity and I am in awe.

kudos on poking at the app privacy statement. the real interest in this is going to be running it locally on your own server backend.

so, yeah - as usual, apps bad, bad, bad. but the backend is what really matters.

Langley

deep, deep burn. CIA flights imminent.

more. middle-men gonna middle on that 25%.

pretty much. learning things without a corresponding “oh… shit.” moment, just never quite stick with you the same way.
