Tenth Amendment

If anything not literally written in the constitution is really up to the states, you are not really a country. You are a bunch of separate countries that happen to have an identical constitution.

That’s literally the idea.

It’s a standard tactic for people who do networking things

Want an honest answer?

Onboard are >=2 bits of code. At least one of those is a specific system trained to recognize a “wake word”. This specific system (ostensibly) doesn’t send anything to an outside party. Its entire job is to recognize one wake phrase: Alexa, Ok Google, or Siri, and then if that wake phrase is used it responds and tells the second system to listen. As you can imagine, this is a pretty easy job to get right 80% of the time. So that can be put on a chip. So then it does its job, and it’s the second system that sends everything to an internet service for whatever reason.

Yes. Containers are awesome in that they let you use an application inside a sandbox, but beyond that you can deploy it anywhere.

If you’re in the sysadmin world you should not only embrace Docker but I’d recommend learning k8s, too, if you still enjoy those things.

It would effect any UEFI based system regardless of OS from one of the affected manufacturers (which is basically all of them).

Correct.

Side note if you can’t figure out how to use psycopg2 in a 5 line tutorial you have even less ability than you thought you did

Just sit them down with it. Kids can figure new technology out.

One thing to note is for all our partisan noise, the USA is a nation of centrists. If either party would put up a candidate that didn't pander to the extremes of their party they'd win in a landslide, but that doesn't make for very good down ticket fundraising and that's what it's all about.

No Democrat or Republican gives any shit about the actual country. All they're interested in doing is making themselves rich.

I feel like people are doing a disservice by using the phrase “toxic masculinity”

You can’t use that phrase without implying masculinity in general is a bad thing. Trying to draw a distinction between “masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” is using the same logic as the people that say “but you’re one of the good ones” when they’re talking to someone of [insert race, gender, religion, etc].

They’re toxic people that cause these problems. There’s nothing wrong with masculinity.

For anyone doing this, set up your spending and budget alerts and actions. It's possible to accidentally fuck something up and end up with an aws bill that'll suck, but this will give you some measure of protection from that in case you accidentally misconfigure something.

Note: Create your partitions from your empty space. You may need to resize your existing partition to do this. But don't practice on your main drive.

This is a simple job, in that the steps are few, but it's something that causes catastrophic data loss if you get it wrong.

I'd recommend buying a cheap second drive, doesn't have to be big or even good. Partition it, mount it, make sure you can make the partitions automatically mount, teach yourself to copy data around, umount it and remount, make sure you got it right.

Just… these are all very simple things. I wouldn't hesitate to repartition my own drives. But if you fuck it up you fuck it up good. Make sure you know the operations you're taking first. Measure twice, cut once, all that jazz.

Boot from a live distro so you can modify your boot disk. Use the disk utility to create partitions. Copy the data to the relevant partitions ensuring to maintain file ownership and permissions. Modify /etc/fstab to mount the partitions at the designated locations in the filesystem.

I don't bother putting anything but /home on its own dedicated partition, but if you ask 10 people this question you'll get 12 opinions, so just do what feels right.

Excuse me we already have a Vermin candidacy. Trump's gonna have to get something else.

Actually just saw btop mentioned on Lemmy the other day lol

htop and/or btop are more modern user friendly alternatives to the classic top

While I personally think the embargo is stupid and should've ended decades ago the idea that the UN could vote against an embargo and expect anything to happen is funny to me.

You might check out xfce. It's gtk like Gnome but the development team doesn't have their heads up their asses; pretty much every aspect of xfce can be customized. It should be a simple install from your package manager, whatever distribution you're using. The downside of this, however, is it might take extensive tweaking to get it to look how you want as it's a pretty bare bones UI by default. Personally I like it, but ymmv.

That's the beautiful thing about the Linux world. If you don't like some aspect there's virtually always an alternative.

It's fair to call them terrorists when they attack civilians.

And don't give me the "what about Israel" bullshit. They can be terrorists, too, it doesn't make Hamas suddenly freedom fighters for murdering children. A terrorist is a terrorist.
