That is something I didn’t know. It’s also a bummer.

I had forgotten portions of years exist. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know it’s not the point, but is anyone else confused by a 23 year old serving more than 5 years in the military?

I assume it’s just a typo/bad editing or something…

I believe you’re never fully out of the woods…

Agreed. I explained more in a sibling comment, but this always confused me…

The “they want to be even” explanation is what I remeber being told by the urologist who untwisted me. I was, to be fair, young and in pain, so I don’t know that I remember clearly.

(Also, it was around 25-30 years ago, so I get to be wrong about this.)

Apparently (and this is from memory, so caveat emptor) when young the balls can be uneven. During puberty, one might say “Oh no! I must become even!” and twist up on itself.

This is resovled (at least in my case) with a local anesthetic and manual untwisting. Followed by a procedure where they sew your balls to your sack so they can’t try it again.

I had this as a teenager. Would not recommend.

I haven’t found a solid answer for this…does XMPP support proper history nowadays? I remember using XMPP servers back around 2012 and if you didn’t have your client open, you just missed messages in rooms. If that’s still the case, ut’s a lretty significant draw back…

They are untrustworthy, and some like to bite cars.

Swans.

I know it’s not the most popular, but I’ve genuinely been happy with Matrix for the last few years. Obviously there are problems, but it really has gotten fairly stable. At least…for me…

ICE has some reporting requirements that they are (Maybe? To some extent?) still following.

This tool was doing some collection for that: https://github.com/Open-Security-Mapping-Project/ice_detention_scraper

(Development has hit a bit of a snag recently unfortunately.)

There must be in-groups that the law protects but doesn’t bind, and out-groups that the law binds but doesn’t protect.

People mentioned Ad Busters and others, but No Logo was pretty formative for me. It’s not exactly what you asked about (it’s a book, not a movement), but I think it continues to point that people have been acting against advertising for decades.

Just, you know, they don’t have a ton of money…

I don’t understand… It wasn’t even an Arch-based distro!

btrfs can pool disks just fine. Create a RAID nice and quick.

There’s also btrfs send and receive. Which may be what you need for shipping the data? You can use SSH for a secure write…

If this is a one-time copy, I’d strongly consider just syncing the data vs. shipping drives (which, as people have pointed out, may have serious reliabilty concerns).

Otherwise, if you must ship, I’d say the best move is two copies of each piece of data, so any single drive failing in shipping isn’t a big deal. But not a RAID. Just two literal copies on two separate drives. Simplest way to ensure some redundancy.

You can even have like…40 taskbars floating in the middle of the screen!

It’s weird, all I see is hunter2.
