Far right leaders in power? Simple, just reverse polarity!

First, that would be lousy public transit design and the route should be rethought.

Second


does this hyppthetical bus run other routes? Is it electric, powered by overhead lines?

Of course you can up with niche counterexamples for an argument presented in meme format, but that doesn't mean it's not, broadly speaking, correct.

I'm in California, but we still (currently) have the same federal bullshit requirements. Doctor friend said I should lie.

Made an appointment, and the pharmacist asked if I was immunocompromised, or XYZ, and I just told them that I qualify---no follow up questions, just a jab in the arm.

To be fair, I do have anxiety that my government is trying to kill me, but that's just crazy...

I wonder what the effective range is if it's charging at every stop (obviously depends on tons of factors).

Busses are a neat use case for electric vehicles in this regard.

Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn't really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad...

I do something similar


I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It's at family's house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

It's a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can't talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

Even our "slow" 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.

I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.

Googling around, the brand gets...mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it's not a big deal.

Pretty obvious fix here


fire the CDC researchers.

poweroff and reboot work as advertised for me, but I'm running headless homelab servers and a laptop with i3. Maybe DEs/GUI shutdown is more subtle?

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I run i3 and headless servers, so it's poweroff or reboot for me. Always works as advertised.

Except on the Linux systems I've used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).

I think that's what the meme is trying to get at.

It's often not that hard. Many routers have a setting for local dns records.

Right, that's easy, but IIRC google devices hard code their DNS servers for casting, so you need to intercept traffic bound for 8.8.8.8.

These folks suggest that just blocking the DNS servers allows you to use your own fallback. Haven't personally tried that, but perhaps more straightforward.
