Given they've had 1800 recent infiltration attempts, I understand their suspicion.

Definitely the former. Most people have just hung onto their PCs for longer. Steam's userbase keeps climbing.

Even if they were live streaming that they were smuggling drugs with their exact location, the US doesn't get to play judge jury and executioner in international waters.

No! That first one was a doozy.

So like Beneath A Steel Sky but reverse Uno card.

Worth pointing out that they added the ability to pay a Myki fine on the spot from anywhere with a credit card over a decade ago. Priorities and all that.

It's a sign of the times that the effects of rapid weight loss are attributed to a drug since most people don't know what it looks like!

In my experience it always goes wrong at the least opportune time. Before an important zoom call, as you're about to leave for the airport etc. My NAS and services (especially Home Assistant) are so mission critical now that I like to have a warm backup ready to go, even if it's a stop-gap measure.

This, except it's the CEO being questioned

IMHO RPi is still a good choice for HA. SD cards are cheap enough now that you can have a spare handy with Home Assistant OS already flashed on it, then if/when your current SD card dies, just swap it out and restore HA from last backup. Only takes a few minutes and happens about as often as a hard drive dies.

All depends on how much you value separation of concerns with a proxmox setup.

I DIY'd a PIKVM from an old Raspberry Pi 4 I had lying around for use in a homelab server. It's been great, no complaints here, very handy if you need BIOS or direct console access from a phone or laptop. I especially like that you can hook up the PC power buttons to allow hard power cycling via the web interface. Though if you're looking for something portable you'd probably skip that part.

The way they capitalise and use "Homeland" in that announcement is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany using "Vaterland" (Fatherland) to drum up nationalism. Fucking disgusting.

 

Ouch, 20% unemployment in China is rough. How tied to China's economic outlook do you think we're going to be in Oz?

Oh good, I'm sure now the government will do something...

 

Sorry for the Murdoch rag, but I thought we could do with a trashy article to lighten things up a bit. Anyone else claimed depreciation on a boob job or the family pet?

 

Would be nice if there was legislation that prevented companies from doing this, so price increases couldn't be concealed so easily.

 

This might be a Lemmy question more than a Jerboa question, but no matter what I try I can't seem to mention myself in a comment and have it show up in my inbox. Is there a trick to mentioning someone? Or is this part of the app not working? Or do I need to wait for the federation to do some funky syncing between instances?
