shudder I'm having VBA flashbacks...

The 2 stands for on 2 different mediums. So HDD and tape for instance. Or HDD and SSD. Or SSD and DVDs. Whatever combo you choose that fits your needs. This (minimizes) the chance of loss of both.

This seems like a good middle ground. I can tell you unless someone schedules something on a Friday afternoon I'm pretty much done come lunch time.

I would LOVE to go back to the tree farm or become a park ranger or something. It just doesn't pay the bills that my cloud engineering does.

Article has been updated, this appears to have been a false alarm:

Nicholas Wu of Politico wrote that DC Metro Metropolitan Police spokesperson Hugh Carew said that the evacuation of the building took place after a call reporting an active shooter but that it “appears to be a bad call” and that “no injuries and no shooter were located”.

I've used them for many years. Like you said, free for federal and I think $15 if you want them to file state/local which I am happy to pay. I know I can do it free online but it's a cheap convenience.

Being in IT I've made a LOT of mistakes over the years, it comes with the territory. Though potentially screwing up a nearly half-century old science mission is not one of those. I truly hope for everyone's sake (but especially the person/people that issued the wrong command) that everything is corrected come October. That would be a horrible thing to have to think about.

I use FreshRSS and the FeedMe Android app. While FeedMe isn't on Fdroid you can download the APK directly from their releases page on github: https://github.com/seazon/FeedMe/releases

It's been working extremely well for me the past month or so.

The article touches on that part actually right at the end:

As for legality of taking drone pictures over a house? California state law only forbids that if you're specifically doing so as a sort of peeping tom.

What legal issues would they be opening themselves up to? All airspace in the US is regulated by the FAA. As long as they weren't in restricted airspace, following all the regulations, and the operator had the proper part 107 license there is nothing illegal about using a drone in this manner. There have been various discussions over the years about "owning" airspace over ones property but nothing has even gone to court that I'm aware of. Not to mention the company could have well seen onto the persons property while being over public space (I.E. the road).

I'm not arguing if this was right or wrong, but I see nothing illegal here.

Cloudflare does no markup pricing, an .org with them is about $10 a year. https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/

I believe I'm at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

• Plex
• Vaultwarden
• Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
• NPM
• Pihole
• All the "arr" stuff
• Nextcloud
• Portainer
• FreshRSS

There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

I'm going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that's going to have to wait, lol.

By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.
