I was going to say, coal remains around 1/3 of our electric generation worldwide (as of 2022): https://www.statista.com/statistics/269811/world-electricity-production-by-energy-source/

Coal can’t be reused, created, or otherwise obtained outside of mining. Until we remove our dependency on coal, mining will continue.

I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I’ll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!

Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.

I tried to snag one and the page just hung trying to submit the order. :(

Definitely more dramatic than I expected, but yeah it was only a matter of time. Rather surprised it took at long as it did really.

And what, exactly, has he faced in terms of consequences for anything during his 77 years on this rock? There is pretty much zero chance he sees any jail time and he’s well aware of this. So what has he got to loose? Might as well stir up shit in prep for a Jan 6 v2 in 2025.

Former President & Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, argued that a different defendant would be treated differently.

I’ll take “No shit Sherlock” for $500 Alex. It’s so fucking blatantly obvious how there are two different tiers of justice in the US. If you or me did that our asses would already be in jail.

You should be smarter going forward. There is ZERO chance this is the end. Film companies are going to keep trying this shit over and over again hoping to get a bite. And it seems with the splintering of streaming services coupled with price increases lots of previous pirates are returning to their old habits.

Secondary pro tip, some cars (honda for sure) you can triple press the unlock button then hold it and all the windows will go down. So even if you forget to leave them cracked you can use this while you are close to your car to quickly vent the heat. Will open the sunroof too if you have one!

Ghost in the Wires

Just simple old rsync. The nas at the far-end is an old QNAP I had lying around.

Local backup to my Synology NAS every night which is then replicated to another NAS at my folks house through a secure VPN tunnel. Pretty simple and easy to deploy.

It’s crazy how the right screams that Biden is extremely left while he’s center at BEST. Just shows how far they continue to shift right. I mean hell, some of them stopped watching Fox “news” because it became too “liberal” for their taste. That should tell you a whole lot.

Seriously, the graveyard is pretty extensive: https://killedbygoogle.com/

To be fair, I didn’t want Biden the first time either. He just happened to be not Trump. I’ll vote Biden again, but I’m not pleased those are my only (real) options. We really need ranked choice voting here in the US…

I believe this is the article you were going to link: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

I’m of the “old fart” variety that recalls the days of IRC and totally agree. Back even before forums those communities run off servers in peoples basements were a treasure trove of knowledge and community. I have very fond memory of making real connections with people there. As you pointed out, that simply doesn’t exist on an article with comments.

I mean, if you ask why a company is doing xyz the answer is pretty much universally money.
