There's stuff like ripple control to tell appliances to lower consumption. Pretty archaic and rare these days. There's nothing I know of that communicates to the utility.

I have no idea what John is talking about or why he brought this concept up.

I was so bewildered reading the novel. I had heard he wrote it as a pro military propaganda piece, but I couldn't help but see it as satire.

They are kitted out in mech suits, making them seem more machine than man, put into drop pods that are fired onto the planet like bullets out a gun. In the pod they are isolated from their comrades, isolated from their humanity, literally turned into pieces of a weapon.

Then they land on the alien planet to perform a terrorist attack on a civilian city. And this book is meant to be pro war?

NumdaQA already pointed out you're utterly wrong, but some additional context might help:

• The opposition says the government should have grovelled more to avoid the tariff, they wouldn't ever retaliate with their own.
• The Australian Steel industry does not give a shit.

So while I get it makes sense in Canada, and we are similar countries in a lot of ways, but on this issue we're just at different political places.

Some googling suggests this is what Dropbox does when it doesn't like the owner or permissions of any files in the Dropbox folder. It is very weird though. I assume you have dropbox installed? It is syncing correctly? Running find /home/dullbananas/Dropbox/ ! -user 'dullbananas' will list any files in that folder that aren't owned by you.

Assuming your userid is 1000 (likely but not guaranteed), running the script should be harmless and stop the password prompt from appearing until there is another file permission issue. Check your user id with id -u 'dullbananas'.

I don't have a Fedora box to check for sure, but have a look in /var/log/secure, it might have details of the request and what program called it.

Surely the space is part of the command. It's running sh with the file in /tmp as the parameter (run this file).

Yeah fair. I tried setting it up, but honestly probably not worth the effort in home networks. Problem is browsers don't know that the other end of the unbound DNS server is DoH, so it won't use ECH. Even once set up, most browsers need to be manually configured to use the local DoH server. Once there's better OS support and auto config via DDR and/or DNR it'll be more worth bothering with.

Do you have the local unbound server respond to DoH so that the browser also uses encrypted client hello?

Consider something like the aoostar R1 with Intel N100. Small and low power like a commercial consumer NAS but cheaper and you can chuck whatever OS you want.

Would you consider making the LLM/GPU monster server as a gaming desktop? Depends on how you plan to use it, you could have a beast gaming PC than can do LLM/stable diffusion stuff when not gaming. You can install loads of AI stuff on windows, arguably easier.

Informing the subject of an investigation and requesting comment to the allegations is considered proper journalism. Otherwise it comes off more as an attack.

I've been using pcloud. They do one time upfront payments for 'lifetime' cloud storage. Catch a sale and it's ~$160/TB. For something long term like backups it seems unbeatable. To the point I sort of don't expect them to actually last forever, but if they last 2-3 years it's a decent deal still.

Use rclone to upload my files, honestly not ideal though since it's meant for file synchronisation not backups. Also they are dog slow. Downloading my 4TBs takes ~10 days.
