The article’s not about plant-based “meat”, though. That’s the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won’ t be far behind with similar BS legislation.

This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.

Or, you know, just moving there and voting those a-holes out of office? The average default Lemming reaction being violence is getting old.

RCS is a whole can of worms. It’s presented like a carrier services (and carriers are in the mix, though often just for authentication), but it’s really a Google service. With Android, RCS connects directly to google’s mothership.

I believe on iOS those go to Apple’s servers which “peers” with google. Maybe search the RCS endpoint for Apple and see what comes up?

This is actually one of my New Year’s resolutions lol. Right now, my backups are local and my offsites are a hodgepodge of cloud services (basically holding encrypted container blobs of my stuff). Not ideal.

I’m looking at signing up for rsync.net since a lot of my backups are done via rsync anyway. Plan is to keep my local backups as-is and rsync them to rsync.net.

AI bots absolutely rip through your sites like something rabid.

SemrushBot being the most rabid from my experience. Just will not take “fuck off” as an answer.

That looks pretty much like how I’m doing it, also as an include for each virtual host. The only difference is I don’t even bother with a 403. I just use Nginx’s 444 “response” to immediately close the connection.

Are you doing the IP blocks also in Nginx or lower at the firewall level? Currently I’m doing it at firewall level since many of those will also attempt SSH brute forces (good luck since I only use keys, but still…)

Honestly I would just ask the people there what they like to eat and then stock that, if possible

That might not actually be a bad idea if it’s allowed by whoever runs the little food pantry. Basically a community “grocery list” with a note about fresh fruit/vegetables not being allowed (and any other limitations) and pen might be the way to go.

Trump also turned his attention to mobilizing donations for his campaign and mounting legal fees by using the conviction as a fundraising tool. Within 24 hours of the guilty verdict, Trump’s campaign boasted raising millions of dollars. Trump and his legal team have also vowed to appeal the conviction

So if he gets the conviction overturned, he’s gonna return the donations right?

Not sure / not that I’m aware of. I was going to see if anyone was working on crowdsourcing an archive via scraping or some similar method. Does Wayback Machine let you download archives, maybe?

MALILA!

(Make America Live in Iron Lungs Again)

Should we be making efforts to preserve guidance pages from cdc.gov, or do we trust that Internet Archive will survive through this administration to provide archived copies via wayback machine?

McConnell’s just jealous Trump’s going to do more long-term damage to the US than he did.

Nancy Mace is a cont…cont…cont…continuing source of inspiration.

Two words (or maybe one hyphenated word?): Double Dip

Take this report with the biggest grain of salt you can find.

Key points:

• The Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic…
• The committee’s 520-page report, released on 2 December, offers no new direct evidence of a lab leak
• The Republicans’ report, led by committee chair Representative Brad Wenstrup (R–OH), extended far beyond the origin controversy:
  • The World Health Organization “caved” to the Chinese Communist Party and allowed it to conceal the severity of the pandemic.
  • Masking and vaccine mandates, school closures, and lockdowns were of questionable value, and U.S. public health officials put forth conflicting, opaque messaging on those issues and more
  • Operation Warp Speed, launched by then-President Donald Trump to develop COVID-19 vaccines in record time, was a success and a model for future pandemics. But the report also criticized the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for pressuring its senior scientists to accelerate full approval of one of the vaccines.

Edit: I just realized the parts I bolded can be combined into a fairly accurate summary:

“The Republican-led Select Subcommitee offers no new direct evidence of a lab leak [and] extended far beyond the origin controversy”

Most containers default to UTC, and depending what you’re running, that may be fine.

I only mount /etc/timezone / /etc/localtime if I’m running a container where it needs to be on the same timezone as the host (DB containers, anything where I want the logs in local time, etc). Not all containers use the TZ env var, so bind mounting the timezone files from the host is a guaranteed way to sync them.
