The GOP in Congress abdicating its role and deferring to the executive, as well as SCOTUS continually using the “shadow docket” to rule in his favor with little to no explanation provided.

My job as a DevOps engineer is to ensure customer uptime. If rebooting is the fastest, we do that. Figuring out the why is the primary developers’ jobs.

This is also a good reason to log everything all the time in a human readable way. You can get services up and then triage at your own pace after.

My job may be different than other’s as I work at an ITSP and we serve business phone lines. When business phones do not work it is immediately clear to our customers. We have to get them back up not just for their business but for the ability for them to dial 911.

Unless, hypothetically, the logging velocity tickles kernel bugs and crashes the system, but only when the daemon is started from cron and not elsewhere. Hypothetically, of course.

Or when the system stops working two weeks after launch because "logging everything" has filled up the disk, and took two weeks to so do. This also means important log messages (perhaps that the other end is down) might be buried in 200 lines of log noise and backtrace spam per transaction, which in turn might delay debugging and fixing or at isolating at which end of the tube the problem resides.

Pretty much all, if not all, cooking oils/fats when heated past the smoke point create this problem.

Avocado oil has a smoke point of 500F, which is what I use for high heat cooking. By contrast lard is only 370F, which means it supplies less flexibility than avocado oil.

Casual reminder that the movie The Matrix is older than ICE. The country survived just fine without it before that. Abolishing ICE will not impact us negatively.

ICE is just the combination of INS and us customs service. Which are from 1933 and 1789.

ICE is the only Federal immigration enforcement agency.

Abolishing ICE is abolishing borders.

Border Patrol (CBP) exists and is a separate entity. They have their own issues, sure, but they are not shooting people in the face recently.

Abolish CBP too

ha

What's the connection between the movie The Matrix and ICE?

Also, did the country truly survive just fine without it before that? Are you familiar with crime stats? Could you share the data on levels of crime carried by illegal immigrants over the years?

Unfortunately it seems like people are either on the left or right end of the spectrum. Surely there is a middle path as well.

I am against open borders, but I am also against some of ICE's tactics.

The extremists (on both sides) are fewer in number than they appear. They're just loud.

A middle path would be for ICE to roll DICE.

Even, the suspect is executed summarily on the spot.

Odd, the suspect is made citizen and gets a MAGA hat.

> I have nearly driven into a wall when trying to use it whilst driving and it goofs up what I've said terribly.

People should not be using their phones while driving anyways. My iPhone disables all notifications, except for Find My notifications, while driving. Bluetooth speaker calls are an exception.

They could just buy it from data brokers.

Indeed. I was in Sweden and learned that you can look up someone's address and pay on a government website. I think there are some "are you human" checks, but it's basically all in the clear.

It creeped me out a bit and then I was angry when I realized it's the same way in the US, but maybe worse. In the US this is possible too, you just have to pay private data brokers and a bunch of middle men make a cheap buck. Employers sell your pay data, websites sell your address. Everyone makes a buck at your expense.

If you know the region they live in, many counties in the US now let you search property records by name from a simple web form.

Most Texas counties put all their residents' complete, real-time information out there with zero impediments to scraping and wholesale harvesting. Appraisal value, tax payment and tax status, mailing address, full legal name, and phone number. Basically a scammer, stalker, and data broker goldmine.

My current TP-Link router hides this behind the "Advanced" settings toggle.

I've got a TP-Link Archer C7, hardware version 5. No such toggle unfortunately, but thanks nevertheless. Perhaps I should try and flash it with OpenWRT.

Some people do not mind buying art or paying artists for their work.

If we assume an artist gets 1¢ per stream of a song, and that album is 10 songs long, you need to listen to it 100x for the artist to get the same as just buying a $10 CD from Bandcamp.

I understand this example is missing the cuts given to other parties (label, etc) but it is still more to the artist than streaming unless you obsessively stream the same albums repeatedly.

Spotify is cheaper because your favorite local indie band makes far less from it.

Additionally, thrift stores have loads of CDs you can rip for extremely cheap.

Spotify pays me about $0.003 per stream. That's pretty typical for every artist on the site.

I am curious of

1) How many total stolen vehicles there were

And

2) If 65% of recovered ones being from Marketplace means only the low-hanging fruit were found.

"From 1997 through 2022, reported thefts decreased 67 percent. In 2022, however, there was a dramatic increase in vehicles reported stolen: 26,653, representing a 112 percent increase from the 12,573 reported stolen in 2019."

At least with Apple Music you can cmd-a cmd-c cmd-v playlists into a CSV file or something.

Yet you can't search anything unless you have a 100% exact match
