Rice to get costlier as weather, India's farm perks threaten supply
  • Under Mr. Modi’s plan, corporate buyers would take a much greater role in Indian agriculture because farmers would have greater power to sell their crops to private buyers outside the mandi system, which he said would lift farmer incomes and increase exports.

    Farms have been bought up by corporations over the past decade, now it's just more corporate agribusiness like everywhere else.

  • US 'fully supports' Sweden’s NATO bid, Biden says
  • The reason we're rushing is because the government wants to look capable but it's not working out at all for them.

    Swedish European government do anything [challenge]: impossible!

    Then again I'm from the US when you can count on the government doing something stupid or evil every day. Unless they forget.

  • Alternatives to tar for archiving Linux system?
  • fsarchiver is very nice. Not fast on pulling out files, but, I mean, it's infinitely faster than tar.

    Only quit using it so much because zfs-send is the real big hammer.

    Best part is it can regenerate partitions, or whatever, or you can restore a larger partition to a smaller one, all the cool permutations assuming the files actually fit. Can re-write users and permissions if you like, all the bells.

    https://www.fsarchiver.org/

    Support for basic file attributes (permissions, ownership, …)
    Support for basic file-system attributes (label, uuid, block-size) for all linux file-systems
    Support for multiple file-systems per archive
    Support for extended file attributes (they are used by SELinux)
    Support for all major Linux filesystems (extfs, xfs, btrfs, reiserfs, etc)
    Support for FAT filesystems (in order to backup/restore EFI System Partitions)
    Experimental support for cloning ntfs filesystems
    Checksumming of everything which is written in the archive (headers, data blocks, whole files)
    Ability to restore an archive which is corrupt (it will just skip the current file)
    Multi-threaded lzo, gzip, bzip2, lzma/xz compression: if you have a dual-core / quad-core it will use all the power of your cpu
    Lzma/xz compression (slow but very efficient algorithm) to make your archive smaller.
    Support for splitting large archives into several files with a fixed maximum size
    Encryption of the archive using a password. Based on blowfish from libgcrypt.
    

    Oh, also you can always copy it over to an iso image and mount it, or a qcow or raw image of some kind for loop mount.

    Hey, didn't know about this: https://www.linux.com/news/mounting-archives-fuse-and-archivemount/

  • Shouldn't we have a link for lemmy at datahoarder subreddit?
  • Yes we should, but reddit has been taking them down as spam, A LOT.

    I don't know about the sidebar, there's a lot of discussion from mods about that, the threat to remove mods for other reason is probably part of the concern.

  • US 'fully supports' Sweden’s NATO bid, Biden says
  • As an American with a Swedish wife, if anything serious happens in the baltic, I think you can safely expect Virginia-class subs to start sprouting like dandelions.

    Sweden isn't in NATO, but neither is New Zealand, and if China started sending boats for unfriendly visits I'm pretty sure we'd tool up and say "What's all this then?!"

  • US & EU Quietly Begin To Discuss Geoengineering
  • We need to be careful and smart, but yeah, this is the only way out, better we start now.

    We can cut down on meat and gas cars too, the low-hanging fruit, but pretending we're all somehow going back to hunting-gathering while sustaining our current population is some kind of delusional fantasy that only comes from drinking too much LSD.

  • LXD is now under Canonical
  • I haven't been following, but that's actually good to hear, proxmox needs a better ui.

    LXD, I suppose for the migration, but for any more complex orchestration I think you've moving to k8s or something more serious, LXD just has an odd "not enough but too much" feature set for me, I like things either push-button, or let me do it, this is kind of both.

  • Biden labels China’s Xi Jinping a dictator
  • Despite the fact that China is one of the world’s most effective democracies –

    What. The. Fuck?!?!?!

    How is a 1 party regime where the current ruler has already broken his term limit to illegally keep power indefinitely, and the party in power decides who is allowed to run, a democracy?

    Oh wait, this is just changing words so war is peace, freedom is slavery again.

  • At SCO Summit, India Reiterates Opposition To China's Belt And Road Initiative
  • It's a combination of feeling they should be friends with Russia, because Russia has never actually attacked them, and Modi being easy to bribe.

    They made a ton of money off the russia oil/gas trade, they want to keep that gravy train going no matter what.

  • Hit on Chinese balloon was F-22’s first air-to-air strike
  • Because nobody else is suicidal enough to dare confront one, ever.

    It had a record of 23:0 against the f-15, which has a record of 104:0 against every other fighter its gone up against.

    The f22 is the air combat version of an aimbot combined with a wall hack.
