I missed that. How in the fuck did that even get passed?

Haiti transition council taps former PM Conille to again lead country ( www.reuters.com )

PORT-AU-PRINCE, May 28 (Reuters) - Haiti's transition council on Tuesday tapped former Prime Minister Garry Conille, who briefly led the country over a decade ago, to return to the role as the Caribbean nation works to restore stability and take back control from violent gangs....

He will now be tasked with fighting off rampant insecurity as gangs have expanded their reach.

With what army?

catloaf ,

Judge Aileen Cannon, if you didn't already know.

This article also seems fairly slanted.

catloaf ,

Excel? Or Calc or whatever.

If you want to explore it as SQL, I usually just stand up phpMySQL for MariaDB, pgAdmin for postgres, or SSMS for SQL Server.

catloaf ,

That's why people rarely do it. Nature be crazy, and wind and water are the things that hit hardest.

catloaf ,

That's how it should be, yeah. But some people say "well you have to prove that it was service-connected!" and if the service is classified, you can't.

Really, we should just have universal healthcare so that this isn't even a question in the first place.

Using btrfs compression as a backing device for Zram

So, I'm sure some of you know. If configured, you can use a backing device for Zram for scenarios where Zram can't compress the data, e.g. when it's full. For this you can use pretty much any supported partition format, including btrfs, what I realized is that you can used btrfs disk compression on top of that. Question is, is...

catloaf ,

If it's not compressible, it's not compressible. Algorithm isn't going to make much difference. Already compressed media, for example, can't really be compressed. In fact, if you try, you might just find it actually ends up bigger than the original.

It's normal for a switch to strip a vlan tag when it sends a packet out, so that the endpoint doesn't have to support vlans. Don't worry about that. As far as the endpoint is concerned, it's just normal subnetting.

When it's on the other vlan, can you even ping it? When you check the packet capture, can you see the ping and response? Where does it get dropped?

Anywhere with a biosecurity law has signs posted in the most popular languages. And they'll usually tell you not to bring food or animal products into the country in any form. And there are convenient trash cans in case you did bring something you need to get rid of before you hit customs.

We've had computers for decades. We've had computers in our pockets for several years now. Computer literacy is still garbage (mostly because your average person's critical thinking skills are garbage).

And when it doesn't work, Apple tells you it's because you're holding it wrong, and you're on your own.

I'm surprised that mammals evolved to not regrow teeth. You'd think it would be a significant advantage.

catloaf ,

It's everywhere. You'd have to sterilize the entire planet.

Wireguard is a VPN.

A VPN is preferable because what's safer, making one hole, or making six holes? One, obviously.

I'd love to own. Problem is, I did the math recently. Mortgage payments on a house in my area start at more than double what I'm paying for rent. And that's only the mortgage, not PMI or or tax or home maintenance costs.

To be fair, I live in a relatively HCoL area (just outside Boston). But owning is still wildly more expensive than renting.

It might work if I was married and we had two nice incomes. But I've also priced it out with a multi-bedroom house and renting out the other rooms. I'd have to charge rent above market rate just to break even. It doesn't make any sense to me.

catloaf ,

What's it called what you have a camp with a large number of people in a small area?

I use yt-dlp and a bash script running from cron

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.

It was true then and it's still true today. Services like Steam, Spotify, and Netflix are far more valuable to the consumer than physical distribution.

If you want to support your favorite artists, come out and see them on tour (at non-ticketmaster venues, preferably) and/or buy merch.

Naval war isn't really a thing any more. There's no need to assault from water when we can perform guided missile and drone strikes from the air. Maybe naval artillery too, if you really want. Then you can more easily roll in with tanks and troops.

The landings at Normandy were the best option because the UK was right across the channel, and the other major borders were Spain and Italy, both aligned with Nazi Germany and would mean crossing the Pyrenees or Alps, respectively.

catloaf ,

Yeah but that's not what happened here. Read the article.

catloaf ,

I respect the work they were trying to do, but like... everyone was saying to GTFO of Haiti nearly a year ago. It's not worth your life.

catloaf ,

It denies everyone the article, it's not searchable, and it's inaccessible for people using things like screen readers. People who screenshot text deserve a special place in hell.

There will always be more work to be done. You can work until your dying day and there will still be more. Make your life worth living.

This carries a higher penalty (25 to life, compare with manslaughter's up to 11).

ATF says multiple sales of rifles must be reported. A "multiple sale" is defined as "when a licensed dealer or pawnbroker sells or otherwise disposes of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, more than one semiautomatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine and with a caliber greater than .22 (including .223/5.56 caliber) to an unlicensed person."

95 rifles in seven visits obviously qualifies. These absolutely should have been reported.

catloaf ,

Those have detachable magazines. They fall under this category.

Hey @Mistral, how important is the difference between a grilled cheese and a melt?

catloaf ,

Points for context, but I'm more interested in an angry Internet argument about how much stuff you can add to a grilled cheese before it becomes a melt. Strongly opinionated.

catloaf ,

That's more like it. Can you do it with more words in capital letters? Maybe some personal insults, or insinuations against my taste?

catloaf ,

Is that sarcastic? Because Israel certainly isn't being decent.

catloaf ,

I've used Zabbix for that before. I hope you like SNMP, though!

catloaf ,

This sounds like an XY problem. I would first recommend not streaming to disk, but streaming to a program that does compression, and write that to disk.

If that's unavoidable, can you stream to a pipe or socket? A compressor should be able to read from there and do its work.

If you can't control the stream to disk, there are plenty of file watcher tools that can run arbitrary commands.

That's not "really hot", a quick search suggests 85°C is the upper limit of normal operating temperature. The spec sheet for the HP P420 doesn't list a formal temperature range.

What's the airflow through the case like? All the fans spinning at good speed? Rack servers are generally designed to operate in climate-controlled datacenters, but they'll happily run in a lot of places.

catloaf ,

If that's a concern, is there a SAS port directly on the motherboard? You could connect the backplane directly and then use software RAID like you want, and eliminate that card entirely.

If not, yeah, IT mode would probably help. Or a plain HBA that does barely any processing at all.

Also check your firmware version on the card. There might be an update that improves performance.

catloaf ,

Worth trying the port. Plug it in, remove the RAID card, and see if you get any disks in the BIOS or the OS (booting a live image if your OS is on the RAID). You might need to change some settings in the BIOS; I haven't fiddled with HP servers.
