Fair is foul and foul is fair.

Toast that shit. Jeebus.

I honestly predicted that “derp” would be taken up in slang when that show came out For one of the few times in my life, I was right.

Corvids all do this. And they tell the others.

We had a problem for a few years with ravens punching holes in the tops of grain bags and letting rain and snow in. My cousin shot one from across the yard and threw the pieces on top of the bag. There was a raven funeral for about a day, and we haven’t had a raven pick a hole in a grain in the decade since.

I’ve seen the same thing happen with magpies when a cat gets one. The other magpies will gather to scream at the cat for a couple of days, but they’ll pack up and move after that.

So I went to a poetry performance tonight, and the poet (I’ve watched him for 20 years) says he has a SF poem for the first time.

The poem was about the year 2525, where the residents of the burned out husk of a planet that we left behind are decanting one billionaire a year. Billionaires started to cryogenically freeze themselves before the collapse of civilization, so there are plenty of frozen bros in dewar flasks powered by solar panels to dig up.

So they wake up a billionaire a year, and he wakes up tied to a post. He’s asked why he didn’t give a fuck about what happened to the world in the future, and of course his answers were shit. So they set him on fire, as one does with scapegoats. Guess they’ll do it all again next year.

He called the poem “Burning Man”.

I applauded, dropped a 20 in his hat, and drove home. Yes, I know.

I’ve followed this project, and they’re very limited on the off-the-shelf mowers that are supported.

Frankly, I’d prefer a generic version that lets me slap some servos against the wheels on a basic cordless mower and drive it around with differential steering. I don’t need it to look pretty, I just want it to cut my grass.

Caves. We should all live in caves.

So would you feel symptoms and take the antihistamines to avoid the squirtybum, or take them ahead of eating?

Go for long walks.

When they were studying physics, I was studying the sword.

We fix our own damn computers before the Millenials get out of bed.

So if I want a new container stack, I make a new Proxmox “disk” in the ZFS filesystem under the Hardware tab of the VM. This adds a “disk” to the VM when I reboot the VM (there are ways of refreshing the block devices online, but this is easier). I find the new block device and mount it in the VM at a subfolder of /stacks, which will be the new container stack location. I also add this mount point to fstab.

So now I have a mounted volume at /stacks/container-name. I put a docker-compose.yml in there and all data that the stack will use will be subfolders of that folder with bind mounts in the compose file. When I back up, that ZFS dataset that contains everything in that compose stack is snapshotted and backed up as a point-in-time. If that stack has a postgres database, it and all the data it references is internally consistent because it was snapshotted before backup. If I restore the entire folder from backup, it just thinks it had a power outage, replays it’s journals in the database, and all’s well.

So when you have a backup in PBS, from your Proxmox node you can access the backups via the filesystem browser on the left.

When you go to that backup, you can choose to do a File Restore instead of restoring the entire VM. Here I am walking the storage for my nextcloud data within the backups, and I can walk this storage for all discrete backups.

If I want to just restore a container, I will download that “partition” and transfer it to the docker VM. Down the container stack in question, blow out everything in that folder and then restore the contents of the download to the container folder. Start up the docker stack for that folder and it’s back to where it was. Alternatively, I could just restore individual files if I wanted.

If it weren’t for the fact the burglar got charge with a weapons offence, I’d be inclined to agree. That bar of “reasonable” should go pretty high when someone’s in your house with a weapon. Now who knows what it was, and maybe the homeowner did beat him after he wasn’t a threat anymore.

I probably wouldn’t go around “guaranteeing” anything. I just hope the definition of reasonable matches the circumstances because there’s a reason people in Canada don’t think you have a right to self-defence, as they’ve recently updated the self-defence laws because of murkiness, and it’s still not clear.

Coffee isn’t really something to judge on, there’s a bunch of factors for why coffee has spiked recently and it’s more to do with a bad harvest than anything around tariffs. There’s plenty of roasters in Canada that buy direct.

People who get addicted to one thing also get addicted to another thing. News at 11.

Nero.

I had to go look to see if that was the model name because it sounded awful close.

Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

I wish I believed in heaven and hell so I could be certain this fucker is going to get raped by a thousand Hitlers and Stalins every night for eternity.

I’ve been burglarized, I don’t give a shit about the stuff that was stolen, it’s being fucking sketched out about thinking someone is going to be in there the next time I walk in. That takes years to go away or you just move.

And that isn’t about “possessions”. It’s about violation.

I’m guessing from your dismissive cuntery that this hasn’t happened to you, so why would you understand feeling this way about it, eh?

Quickshell looks fucking cool. I’ve fallen down the rabbithole of building qt widgets using this for about 4 hours now. What a great way to use QTquick.
