The ex-prisoners solve world hunger and find a general cure for cancer

Did I hallucinate this or are you intentionally ignoring the very specific action they said they were taking to address this?

The responsibility to vet who we put our name next to is ours, and we didn't meet it this time. We're now reviewing our vetting process and our guidelines for our marketing agencies to ensure this doesn't happen again.

• The fact that they said "marketing agencies" strongly suggests that they're using third-party providers, which is pretty common for running affiliate programs. This would be in addition to any internal marketing team, if they have one.
• Until this incident, clearly they just trusted that the third parties would vet the affiliates - and clearly they were wrong.
• The first step in an incident like this is to determine what went wrong, which they're doing. It's very rare to get a "we've identified the issue and here's how we're fixing it" in an initial quick response like this.

1. City installs trash bags because they're contractually obligated to keep the devices installed and powered on
2. Someone hosts an impromptu Office Space fan meetup, with a fun reenactment of the printer scene
3. City sees this, responds with an obvious but legally non-actionable tweet response suggesting it continue (e.g. "Fartsburg loves Mike Judge films, too! So nice to see our citizens enjoying the various forms of recreation and socialization ths city has to offer."), along with some conspicuously-placed garbage cans near all of the cameras' installed locations.
4. ???
5. (No) Profit. (for Flock)

Seems like none of y'all even read a few paragraphs into the article.

A human-sized, human-shaped robot can integrate into an existing production layout without having to redesign how the factory works. That's the sell.

To me that's a thinly-veiled way of saying "these things are purpose built to uproot human workers as soon as fucking possible," which would be a great thing if the intent were to remove humans from dangerous and/or unfulfilling jobs and pipe the earnings from the cost reduction/efficiency increase into taxes/ubi/assistance programs so that people can pursue their own dreams and interests without needing to wage slave their healthiest years away trying to survive.

But that's never the intent; it's always to add more zeroes to the balance sheet of the people at the top.

You do you, but I'm holding out for it... and only in fully automated, luxury, gay form.

I would absolutely not trust BTRFS's implementation. Maybe things are better now but it earned the backronym Bro The RAID Fuckin Sucks for a reason.

RAID is not a backup.

RAID is not for data safety.

RAID is for:

1. Ensuring availability of data in the face of hardware failure. That means your files don't disappear when a drive dies and you have some time to swap out for functional hardware and restore redundancy.
2. Presenting multiple drives as one larger unit. This is what striping does, and to a lesser extent the parity-mode levels.
3. Improving performance (sometimes). A RAID mirror is generally much faster to read from than any individual drive because reads can be interleaved across drive members. A stripe can be much faster because writes are distributed across drive members. This is less of a bonus today with solid state/nvme drives, but it's still applicable to spinning rust.

If your concern is protecting your data, set up a 3-2-1 backup strategy.

I have an actual rubber duck for that. I hate it when my colleagues interrupt me just because they forgot how lambdas work

"Hey buddy, we'll pay you $100 if you take an STD test and then raw dog this pornstar for eight seconds. You in?"

That depends on what level of HA you want to end up with.

If you want proper HA, you'll want to plan on adding a (small, like a Raspberry Pi) third node for quorum. If you are already taking backups and you just want "I can restore on the second system" then it's slightly simpler, but mostly the same process:

• Setup new node, add to cluster
• Migrate all VMs and LXCs to new node
• Remove and upgrade other node
• Add rebuilt node to cluster

If you're planning on proper HA, I'd strongly advise having the proxmox installation on a second small drive on each node and leaving your 1tb drives as data only.

This article half-explains one option for a two node setup (zfs replication), which is functional but not ideal. If you want to get your feet wet with Ceph then I can give you some pointers.

Randall seems to have aimed at recognisability in choosing those song titles.

Reflection is one of my favorites, super underrated even amongst Tool fans IMO.

Say it louder for the people in the back!
