“Chain migration” is how many people — myself included — get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school “good,” let’s be honest — the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there’s an opening, and bam, you’re already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they’re the hiring manager).

Friends from school — peers and mentors alike — are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you’re in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it’s flattering).

It’s the way the world works…

Verizon will tell you to fuck right off and will never unlock your device.

Title of article, when I view it, is

A New Study Details a Startling Air Pollution Racial Gap

https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/04/air-pollution-racial-disparities-nitrogen-dioxide/

So, did OP change title, or did the article change title in the decade since it was posted?

But yeah — the premise is ridiculous only if you deny systemic racism. If you accept that, then (awkward “title” notwithstanding…) this is pretty clearly the case: economic stratification isn’t just “my home is bigger than yours,” it’s “my home is further from the freeway than yours” or, if you like, “living in my home is healthier than living in your home.”

OP, link please?

Archive.org only has two grabs, both from this year though (and agree with the current one, above).

You can eat the skin — it makes a good vegan pulled pork base (lots of recipes online).

I split mine in two. It’s easy but makes you look like a badass. A banana splitting badass.

Exactly — this is ~10GB every 6 hours (which is probably a reasonable amount of time to run a backup while not interfering with active Internet use).

Basically the only backup-worthy content I generate is casual photos and videos, and these are nowhere near that size (Immich database backups also take up a bit but I could certainly be smarter about how I handle these backups).

We “only” have ~35Mbps upload, but that’s plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.

But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!

Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync’d over (I don’t generate a ton of data, so it’s mostly just photos from my phone).

For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I’ve done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It’s maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo…

In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).

As darkly humorous as this is, I believe “out of network” doesn’t apply to ACA compliant health insurance for an ER visit — so even if this happened to a normie, it would ostensibly be covered.

Edit: added “ER”.

C

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.

But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

Same, an R4 with an i5 4670k I built in grad school. It’s my ham radio computer now, as happy running Debian as the day I built it.

Remote backup server would be my suggestion.

Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend’s or family’s place.

I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.

I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

You can also take a fairly selfish view and come to the same conclusion. Like, I don’t want to see homeless encampments, or really sick and untreated people, or panhandlers, or (…) while I’m walking around in my city. I can solve this problem by 1) moving to a nice suburb, or 2) having my tax dollars go to fix a problem that affects me. 1) is off the table because I want to live in the city, and 2) — while it helps the greater good — also helps me directly. (2 can also be addressed in a draconian fashion, which is not what I’m advocating at all.)

I think one problem is looking at things as zero sum. It’s not. If you are healthy and housed and fed then you’re not — to be very crass — an eyesore, you’re adding to the fabric of the city. I want street musicians who are playing for fun, not because they’re trying to make enough to afford dinner.

I am devastated that I got rid of my 2000s HP LaserJet (with Ethernet). Only flaw it had was that it didn’t have a duplexer.
