Maybe it's referring to the musical, The Sound Of Music?

Remote backup server would be my suggestion.

Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend's or family's place.

I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.

If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage


like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion


then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).

An SEO specialist walks into a bar, saloon, watering hole, place to get drinks, neighborhood bar, dive bar, best mixed drinks, beer on tap...

I don't have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can't get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.

One is bad because it's a vote counting when it shouldn't; the other is bad because it's a vote not counting when it should. It's essentially the same functional outcome, it's just that one of these...you know...actually happens a lot and the other doesn't.

I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.

A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...

The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.

(Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations...)

My headcanon for The Matrix's "humans are batteries" is that it's the machines' perverse interpretation of this


killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives "meaning" in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) "battery" somehow satisfies the rules.

It's a very big stretch, I'll admit...

Stock


at least, RSUs


is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you're referring to


I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert...

And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story...

Unclear from article (at least, for me) how much of this is existing stock grants only now vesting, vs. approved raises/new grants/etc.

Not that it particularly matters


big compensation at the top with tumult for the folks at the bottom is...not a good look.

I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
