Have you considered only backing up the data you can’t replace relatively easily? I would look into a strategy of periodically backing up the list of media in a format that can easily be imported into Radarr or whichever system you used to acquire them. Sure, if the worst happens it’ll take forever to redownload, but you can just prioritise the things you want to watch right now while everything’s rebuilding in the background.

Definitely do back up photos, documents and your home directory (excluding stuff like a steam library), but hopefully you should be able to fit all that on a NAS or external HD.

Hamas had a whole investigation and remediation in the space of days, in the middle of a war zone. Meanwhile we’re still waiting to find out who killed Shireen Abu Akleh over 2 years ago.

To visit relatives mostly. And it’s a big tourist destination in the Muslim world because of some more permissive laws regarding alcohol and the like.

Probably like $50/month in cloud resources if you turned off all the extra stuff and only did redirects and kept it around in read only mode. You’d need to do some dev work up front and price that in as well, obviously.

Yeah, shouldn’t be too hard to at least keep the existing links working in a read only state.

I think training your own image generator on existing child porn is probably beyond most high schoolers. I’d be happy if at least commercial options were held responsible for distributing generated CP, which is already illegal BTW.

Yeah, it’s probably more important to make sure we don’t have child porn generation machines available to anyone online.

If needed you could use a subdomain from a free dyndns provider. And if you’re going to be self hosting stuff having your own domain is probably good anyway.

Yeah, it’s not like they made hot dogs on the Shabbat or anything.

If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?

Pretty much, yeah.

You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).

Definitely worked for me.

I guess the thinking is that in the past economic growth has been the way governments dealt with paying back debts (or making them look smaller as part of the GDP). Instead of raising taxes or issuing currency to pay back debt, you’d grow the tax base by growing the economy.

MMT is currently challenging this thinking obviously, and the answer to this (as with every other challenge we’re facing, like inequality, pollution, corruption, …) is taxing the rich, not somehow procreating more.

If managed well, a slowly shrinking population can be managed without too much issues and would allow us to live within our planetary means, which are the real contraints on the economy and our survival.

Cable news seems to be allergic to providing any kind of context no matter what the issue is, despite having 24 hours to fill. They’ll typically just loop the same 10 second clip from the event and then have 2 pundits who don’t actually know anything talk about it.

Yep, go to a Muslim country and tear down their posters, great strategy. Shows you these people won’t stop after they’ve taken all of Palestine.

Edit: country with a large Muslim population

Even if there was overcapacity, if you’re trying to tackle climate change you should be throwing all your resources at creating and installing solar cells and batteries everywhere until there’s no fossil power generation left.

If the US is worried about domestic industry, they can shift some of the subsidies they give to oil companies to domestic green industry.

Were they on Sky News? Nobody watches that.

Yep, it was a drone strike, this is not a fog of war thing, some guy in an office in Tel Aviv was piloting that thing and would’ve had access to any intelligence needed to make the right decision.

This is not some guy cut off from his unit without a radio shooting the wrong people or whatever they’re trying to present this as.
