Nah we're still stuck in the past.

We're just getting to 1939.

Yes.

But they didn't say they can't get him back. They said they won't get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.

My personal guess is that he's already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.

They could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn't need to be YAML, that's just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.

I also don't think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven't needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.

But creating a common schema for... well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.

Seriously - Linux needs a standardized config schema spec. Something that programs should provide which an application can read and provide a frontend interface for the users to adjust config files.

Could be something like:

schema_version: 1.0
application:
  name: Poo Analyzer
  icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/icon.png
  description: Analyzes photos of poo
schema:
  - config_file:
      path: /etc/pooanalyzer/conf/poo.conf
      conf_type: ini
    configs:
      - field: poo_directory
        type: dir_path
        name: Poo Image Directory
        description: Directory of Poo Images
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/poo.png
      - field: poo_type
        type: list
        name: Poo Types
        description: Types of Poo to Analyze 
        values:
          - dog
          - cat
          - human
          - brown bear
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/animal.png
          ...

Any distro could then create any frontend they'd like to manage this - the user could even install their own.

Zigbee and Z-Wave, too!

There are only two places in the world that can make that specific shade of red: Kodak Labs and the CIA.

Smh y'all will do anything to disparage Teslers.

The driver does something stupid, such as getting the car wet, and the car sometimes shuts itself down instead of catching fire.

No other car even tries to stop itself after getting wet! Can't you see how much better they are?! Have you even said thank you once? In this conversation?

If this wasn't posted by the White House account, I'd definitely believe it was posted by someone against the deportations.

It's an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested. Why would they think this would help their anti-immigration cause?

I mean, I actually know why. Because that's what the conservatives want. They know innocent people are being arrested and denied due process. It's not that they don't care - they actively want it.

Go look at /r/conservative on Reddit. These people are cheering Rubio on after he announced that visaholders are being deported due to something they said or protested with no evidence being offered. And I'm not joking or exaggerating.

They'll sometimes have issues but I haven't ever heard of an actual attack against any of them.

You'll need a Usenet server but at least two is preferable - one following DMCA and one following NTD.

Then you'll need indexers. There's no limit on these that you'll want. Each will have different content and you can use some services to track how often you actually get good results from them or how much overlap there is.

Then get a download client. I like SABNZBd.

After that, you can automate it. Sonarr is gold standard for TV shows and Radarr for movies. Lidarr exists for music but it's pretty hard to automate good music since there are so many different versions - radio edits, DJ, live, samples, remixes, etc.

Best part about Usenet is that it's much easier to get what you want. With Torrents, you're relying on seeders for each file you're downloading. These mostly end up being newer media and usually the shittiest quality someone can produce (looking at you, YIFY).

With Usenet, it's all coming from the servers. If it's been uploaded, it's almost always still there and you can usually download it as fast as your Internet connection allows. Sometimes you'll find missing parts, almost always due to either DMCA/NTD requests or because the uploads were old and not downloaded recently enough. The former is the reason I recommend at least two servers. However, you'll still usually have multiple other versions of that file uploaded elsewhere. If you're using Sonarr/Radarr, they will mark it as a failed download and try another matching item instead.

No - the US and Europe developed two different methods for handling salmonella.

Starting in the 1970s, the US chose to wash the eggs. The upside is that it eliminates virtually all risk. The downside is that it requires refrigeration throughout the entire supply line, but since they are refrigerated, US eggs last a lot longer; unrefrigerated eggs last about three weeks while refrigerated eggs last about 50 days.

Large portions of Europe didn't have the infrastructure to support this so the regulators instead chose to vaccinate the chickens. The upside is that no extra steps are required and no extra equipment like refrigerated trucks. The downside is that they don't last as long.

Both methods work about equally well and are both considered acceptable.

I mean, Washington wanted 2 terms to be the norm.

He didn't, that's just a whitewashed version we tell ourselves.

He just didn't want the President to be viewed as a monarch or a lifetime appointment. He turned down a third term because he feared he would die in office and the public would believe that's the norm.
