Unvaccinated Hamilton child died from measles infection
  • If it was just their own health that is being impacted, I would have ignored it, but the fact that unvaccinated people are dangerous to society is what make me mad. I had a discussion with someone who insisted it is their right, and that the guberment have no business insisting that they get the vaccine while working for the federals. Trying to explain that you can either abide by society's rules or "leave" didn't get me anywhere, it's like those people believe that society exists to serve only them and not the other way around.

    Humanity is doomed. And I really really fear for my kids and their kids, IFF my kids can afford to have children of their own.

    Can we just leave this planet already?

    Project 2025 aims to eliminate the US Forest Service (USFS) powers to prevent forest fires and to increase logging on Federal lands which makes sense because it's trees that are the problem
  • You are all missing the point.

    Trees are not a "problem", but rather an untapped resource.

    I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

    Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

    And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can't have those without forests in the first place.

    To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

    We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

    Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense

  • Lemmy.ca scheduled maintenance Saturday July 6th - Complete
  • I would love to see a write up on what was done. PostgeSQL is my favourite system and I would like to know more.

  • Posters promoting theft from Loblaws circulate online
  • Canadian company that owns several supermarket chains as well as pharmacies and other assets that have been caught multiple times raising prices because they can.

  • As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?
  • About a million years ago, back in 2007/2008 that is, there was this small company called Hexago that did R&D in IPv6 networking, they were behind the Frenet6 project and created the networking stack and the TSP client that would let you tunnel a /56 IPv6 network over a dynamic IPv4 connection.

    One the projects was a tiny hardware router, I honestly forget who made it, but Hexago would buy them, then we would flash each one with WRT+TSP client custom image, the idea was you plug this in your network and you have IPv6 connection in your network without doing any magic configuration.

    It worked well until we lost finding.

    So yeah, OpenWRT is old and not just for Linksys routers :)

  • What’s your personal experience with “fake it ‘til you make it”?
  • Try 35 years

    Somehow I’m a “Unix Wizard” because I know how to read log files?

    Oh, and now I’m DevOps because I pythoned my way out of wet paper bag.

  • What's a simple logging service?
  • Take a look at openonserve

  • The Shamima Begum ruling proves it: some UK citizens are less equal than others
  • The issue is that this punishment establishes two classes of people. Those who can lose their citizenship because they can theoretically get another somewhere and those who cant.

    Imagine if this child was born in the UK to British parents and has no other possible nationalities, what then?

    When a country grants citizenship they should not be allowed to revoke it unless it was obtained fraudulently. Revoking citizenship should never be used as a form of punishment.

  • my old hostname is still active????
  • DHCP?

    Your old host registered an fqdn and did mnt remove it, then the new host registered the same ip to a different fqdn.

    It happens

    I have no idea what you are using for dhcp/dns but start by looking there

  • I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping
  • I’ve been daily driving boring Debian since RedHat Linux 8 came out 20 years ago now. I tried switching to openSUSE and just didn’t see the point after a bit, so I switched back. The only time I’m not on Debian is when I’m playing with FreeBSD or NetBSD.

    Same for DE, I’ve been using XFCE for so long that I don’t get the fuss about pretty environments.

    Not hopping does not mean you’re missing out, boring can be good. Things are stable and stay out of the way of you doing actual work.

    There is a quote out there somewhere about how customizing FVWM can become an obsession.

    There is nothing wrong about hopping, as long as you are doing it for hobbyist reasons, at the end of day the only difference is the package manager and the DE.

    Good luck

    Creating a local VMwae software mirror using aac-lib/vsm

    I needed to have a local mirror of VMware software, and logging into my.vmware.com, downloading, and then uploading was becoming tiresome.

    I tried the VMware software solution, but:

    1. Windows only
    2. Borke all the time.

    Then I found this:

    Texiwill/aac-lib

    It needs several packages pre-installed, but it mostly takes care of everything, as of now, it is running on a CentOS machine, the following script is running via cron daily, you will need to git pull acc-lib first.

    ``` #!/bin/bash

    _USERNAME="my vmware account" _PASSWORD="my vmware password"

    cd ~aac-lib/vms git pull

    for _REPO in $(cat ~/vmware-repos.txt) do ./vsm.sh -c -y -nc --symlink --fav $_REPO -u $_USERNAME -p $_PASSWORD done ``` Content of the vmware-repos.txt are similar to this, if you run vsm.sh you will understand the naming convention

    Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_Tools_12_x_VMware_Tools Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_vSphere_8_0_Enterprise_Plus Infrastructure_Operations_Management_VMware_vRealize_Log_Insight_8_8

    And here is a sample .vsmrc to get you started, I put everything in /data, which is a separate partition of about 4TB at the moment:

    repo='/data/vmware-content' cdir='/data/vmwarevsmxml' symlink=1

    I then export the vmware-content directory via a web server, just a nginx with FancyIndexing enabled, and also via NFS and FTP.

    If you need more details, ask away.

    I have been using this for a couple of years now, it rarely fails me.
