Ah, right, that's why it looked familiar


pretty sure I've seen articles from there posted in one of The Onion communities in lemmy.

I'm not mad at the huge amount I pay in taxes. I'm mad about what I get in return.

Only disagreement from me (in California, USA) is that I wouldn't diminish the actions of our neighbors to the north by calling them "petty" in this instance. Nothing petty about standing up to a bully in whatever capacity you can. 🫡

As far as I can tell the "mostly true" (rather than true full stop) is this:

"The federal government does not have a separate, dedicated revenue stream exclusively for disaster aid," said Joel Tirado, an institute spokesperson. "FEMA funding comes from general revenue aggregated nationally. So, it isn’t possible to know how much of California’s taxes go to disaster relief specifically."

So basically, money is fungible, and we (CA) send the most money (absolutely, though not per capita).

WireGuard, and an external HDD. Run at a remote location for off-site backup.

I do this with a raspberry pi 3 at the in-laws. I copied the data over locally before setting it up, and after that it's just nightly incremental rsync, which is fine even over my slow (35Mbps) upload.

You can turn it off, at least for ext4: https://lwn.net/Articles/784041/

Although you can use case insensitive filesystems with Linux, and case sensitive filesystems with macOS. I believe the case sensitivity is a function of the specific filesystem


but yeah, practically, the root for Linux is always case sensitive, and APFS ~~ain't~~ is only if you ask it to be ( https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/disk-utility/dsku19ed921c/mac ).

Sounds like one use-case of for same-sex couples to have biological children together. Which is pretty neat IMHO!

Not to say that the more macabre use cases don't exist, of course.

...could pave the way for same-sex couples to have biological children together.

As usual, it sounds like the technology could be used for genuinely good things.

It could be used for horrible things too, yes, but that's often how it goes.

You know you fucked up real good when Mr. Oatmeal gets involved.

In undergrad I took a class on sleep, and it really stuck with me. I previously had some FOMO-esque aversion to going to bed early, but after that class if I was done with the day and I was tired, I just went to sleep.

It's been a good mentality for us now that we have a small kid, too. No shame in going to bed at 8...
