They're actually much less incompetent than during his first term. The takeover has gotten this far because some very competent people have been planning for years.
I don't understand that comment either. I've been using Debian for years on my server, and it just keeps up with the times (well with Debian times, not necessarily current times).
It's way easier than Kubuntu was for me, for example, which required reinstalling practically every time I wanted to upgrade. A few times the upgrade actually worked, but most of the time I had to reinstall.
It is more insane. The people controlling trump were ready for a win this time. They weren't in 2016, but they rectified that mistake by getting closer to him and stroking his ego while telling him what to do.
Even if it had hurt or killed only the intended targets (who were correctly identified and all), and no one else, you'd have to be some kind of sociopath to celebrate something like this.
These beeper gifts are insane. How would Japan react if the US gave them a fake atomic bomb as a gift on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb drop?
Our Mazda 3's adaptive cruise thought a car that was exiting was in our lane and hit the brakes, right in front of a car I had just passed. Sorry, dude, I made the mistake of trusting the machine.
Incidents like that made me realize how far we have to go before self driving is a thing. Before we got that car, I thought it was just around the corner, but now I see all the situations that car identifies incorrectly, and it's like, yeah, we're going to be driving ourselves for a long time.
If bird flu is such a minor issue, I say we inject it into Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. Demonstrate how safe it is. Do it. Come on. DO IT YOU WUSSES.
My kmymoney file goes on an old compact flash memory card.
My home directory (including that file), /etc, databases, and a few other things get backed up weekly on to a USB stick.
Media raid array is automatically backed up to a large drive in another computer each evening. (The raid5 array isn't that large. It was when I built it, but now I can buy a single drive that is nearly as large as the array...)
Pictures are backed up to Amazon's glacier deep freeze. I pay about $1/month to back up all of my pictures. I intend to put other important things there too but haven't gotten there yet.
How many of us old Slashdot users are here, anyway? 5 digit UID here.
