Let’s see Stephan Miller’s card…
I’m too lazy to verify my hunch, but I’m guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil…).
Hopefully you can publish in an open-access journal — if not it would be great if you could share an arXiv preprint :)
Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it.

I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it’s nice to have computers seem “fun” again.
At least, that’s my perspective.
What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?
Not everyone is eligible for this, but that’s kind of a different issue.
Whatever you decide for your laptop, I’m a proponent of a barebones off-site setup if you’re trying for 3-2-1 backup or similar.
I use a raspberry pi 3 with a single HD (ZFS) retaining some number of daily/weekly/monthly snapshots. Daily rsync, everything over WireGuard+VPS (TailScale would work too).
Not the “trickle down” that we were promised, but at least this trickle down is real?
Same — rsync to a pi 3 with a (single) ZFS drive at family’s house. Retain some daily/weekly/monthly snapshots.
I have a (free) VPS with static IPv4 which is how I connect everything.
Both the VPS and the remote site have limited network speed (I think 50Mbps for VPS), so the initial sync was done sneakernet (well…“airplane net”). Nightly rsync is no problem bandwidth-wise, and is mostly just any new videos I’ve uploaded to my local Immich instance.
When they talk about being the party of Lincoln this isn’t what I had in mind…
Scully and Mulder would not put up with this shit.
It’s an interesting (predictable?) look into the psyche here.
I work for a big company, and while yeah it’s a big faceless company, the people treat us ICs as assets, not liabilities; the company makes money because of its employees, not in spite of them, and they — colleagues, manager, director, SVP — acknowledge that.
My partner’s company OTOH seems to treat employees more as a liability — the kind of attitude of “we’d be more profitable if we didn’t have to pay you,” which is really aggravating (different industry than mine, so this is more the norm mindset unfortunately).
It’s really clear how this whole farce of a government agency views the world.
This title makes it sound like he wouldn’t be a good Klingon, either. Which…is definitely true.
I bet he thinks he’d make a good Ferengi. But that’s insulting to the Ferengis…
Adama would like to have a word.
Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I’m probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules — anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don’t use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn’t be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).
I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.
Yes, but your wine futures would be worthless, what with his unlimited water-to-wine abilities.
Yeah, I think the issue is that the other racist, xenophobic, antivax, generally incompetent policy choices are actually kind of what he campaigned on.
The tarrifs — even though he campaigned on them — are antithetical to his promise of lowering cost of living expenses.
That said, it’s the WSJ editorial page — their coverage of the Second Coming of Jesus would be its impact on your 401(k), so this type of coverage (and not e.g., social justice) is their bread and butter.
No, but I think it’s good when someone with credibility among certain people reiterate something, even if it adds nothing of value to you and me.
Democratic and left-of-center politicians (or “liberal elite economists”) can say this until they’re blue in the face but Trumpers will dismiss it as I dunno, woke butthurtism or something. But when someone like Buffet says it, at least they (maybe) have to think a little bit before coming up with some mental gymnastics to dismiss him. And maybe along the way they’ll question, if only a little bit, the sanity of Trump’s policies.
Ah, good point!
Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it’s trying to compete with the Air.
I think a lot of companies view their free plan as recruiting/advertising — if you use TailScale personally and have a great experience then you’ll bring in business by advocating for it at work.
Of course it could go either way, and I don’t rely on TailScale (it’s my “backup” VPN to my home network)… we’ll see, I guess.
