The cutest pollinator!

Bees seem to love the catnip that grows in my garden at least. I think last summer I counted 8 different kinds of bees enjoying it.

When I think of server hardware I think about systems with ECC memory, NUMA, SAS storage and backplanes, infinaband, redundant power supplies, out of band management and such that’s not available on desktop class hardware.

I’ve been looking into getting a heat pump in the northern US and for heating it doesn’t seem to be worth it quite yet. The problem where I’m at is that it gets very cold and natural gas is pretty cheap but electricity is expensive. I hope this changes soon. It would be a no brainer if I were replacing a resistive heater though.

Sorry, I’ve already donated all the Plasma I can safely donate! /s jic :)

Hmm. Maybe systemctl enable rc-local because I was too lazy to get the service order correct and I just wanted something to happen last and be done with it.

As a cyclist I make aggressive eye contact with drivers, I need to see you seeing me before I know I’ve been seen.

Thank you Clair Patterson!

Boom… Bumper!

My boy went and machined his lodge!

Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

oflag=direct

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I’m missing?

Fuckin a, man.

So far, so good.

Is another of my favorite responses to “how’s it going”

I’m not interested in discussing the first paragraph but for the second; as I understand it you have to define something before you can regulate it. The pedantry is over the definition of a machine gun in that a bump stock doesn’t really apply because each bump is a separate action by the operator, and the court apparently agreed. The definition of a machine gun can be changed perhaps to define a maximum rate of fire instead of number of rounds fired per trigger pull or something.

FWIW you can bump fire without a bump stock, It just requires a little bit of manual dexterity

Shoot me $12

I can see why that kind of libertarianism is unpopular. Thanks for the explanation. I’m coming from the “every person has freedom to do all that they will, provided they infringe not the equal freedom of any other person” school of thought where slavery is absolutely not allowed and there’s government to protect people’s liberty and freedom.

I see. It sounds like “liberty for me, not for thee”. Not cool.
