He was confirmed 52-48, it's absolutely not irrelevant.

If the dems voted not to confirm him it wouldn't have mattered

Oh, well if it didn't matter if they chose to confirm him or not, why did they do it?

Complaining about the dems everytime a republican does something barbaric is just excusing their behavior.

And you're excusing the Democrats for confirming an anti-science wormbrain to the highest medical office in the land.

I get not wanting to blame the Democrats when the Republicans are shitty, but that only really works WHEN THE DEMOCRATS AREN'T PART OF THE REASON IT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Generally I'd be with you in trying to shift the unwarranted blame, but it's not unwarranted in this situation at all.

It's honestly kinda awful. I've been trying to use it a bit to help speed up some of my projects at work, and it's a crapshoot how well it helps. Some days I can give it the function I'm writing with an explanation of purpose and error output and it helps me fix it in 5 minutes. Other days I spend an hour endlessly iterating through asinine replies that get me no where (like when I tried to use it to help figure out a bit very well documented API, had it correct me and use a different method/endpoint until it gave up and went back to my way that didn't even work! I ended up just hacking together a workaround that got it done in the most annoying way possible, but it accomplished the task so WTFE)

Pro tip: use a thesaurus on every word to make sure people know your opinions are informed

Well, which one of us died mismanaging their web placement?

Pretty sure we've got it in USA too, I think I've seen billboards for it recently.

My sibling in Talos, are you entirely unfamiliar with the concepts of 'loss leaders', 'rent seeking/Software as a Service' and 'hooking them while they're young'?

Every single one of those is common place in the digital world these days, and this is no exception. By getting these devices in the hands of kids for less than the cost of the device, you can affect what services they choose to use in the future (by making them already familiar with your product by the time they can choose for themselves) and setting them up to live in your walled garden and making them pay a premium to stay in (see also, the Apple model).

If they stole data on digital insurance policies, they're going to see a rise on their customers getting hit with ransomware attacks that are conveniently asking for their policy limit.

Was on a road trip to South Dakota with my (now) wife's family, and her father had just planned on stopping wherever on the trip rather than planning stops (which is probably better considering there were 3 adults taking care of 5 kids from 8 to 16 and we were an....interesting set (all ADHD, most with (un)diagnosed autism). We stopped at some motel 8 style place kinda late and just wanted to get some sleep so we could get on the road and to our cabin destination. We ended up having to stay there, but it sketch as all hell.

Man, those rooms were awful. The room was musty AF, and I remember not taking my shoes off because the carpet felt spongy. The beds were rock hard and the sheets under the duvet were polka dot look white sheets. I didn't even undress and made sure to change my clothes before getting back in the van the next day.

Other than that, it was a lovely trip. It even led to a moment that my wife will never be able to live down with her family, and still comes up pretty regularly when we talk to her family.

I had a similar thought years ago, so if anything happens, I'll end up with a reverse Hitler.

 

So I had a micro PC that was running one of my core services and it only supports NVMe drives. Unfortunately, this little guy cooked itself and I'm not in a position to replace the drive. The system is still good and is fairly powerful, so I want to be able to reuse it.

I'm thinking I want to set up some kind of netboot appliance on another server to be able to allow me to boot the system without ever having a local disk. One thing I want to is run some docker images (specifically Frigate) but i wont be able to write anything to persistent storage locally. NFS shares are common in my setup.

Is it even possible to make a 'gold image' of a docker host and have it netboot? I expect that memory limitations (16GB) will be my main issue, but I'm just trying to think of how to bring this system back into use. I have two NAS appliances that I can use for backend long term storage (where I keep my docker files and non-database files anyway), so it shouldn't be too difficult to have some kind of easily editable storage solution. I don't want to use USB drives as persistent storage due to lifespan concerns from using them in production environments.
