Sony victory in Cox piracy case could be overturned by Supreme Court.

Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

Copyright holders hire services that use bots to monitor file-sharing networks and send ISPs millions of notices a year alleging infringement by someone at a particular IP address, Cox told the Supreme Court. Cox said that ISPs "have no way of verifying whether a bot-generated notice is accurate" and that even if the notices are accurate, terminating an account would punish every user in a household where only one person may have illegally downloaded copyrighted files.

Turns out that the snap installation did not function in the expected way and the solution was to re-install without Snap.

    Are there examples like this in math as well? What is the most interesting "pure math" discovery that proved to be useful in solving a real-world problem?

    I need dad advice for teaching children on music
  • The best way to build confidence as a teacher is to go in with a detailed plan and still remain flexible.

    Having a good plan gives you a roadmap that you can always lean on when needed. You will be less flustered because you will always know the direction you want to go. It is the backbone that holds up your teaching.

    Being flexible as a teacher is important because people learn in so many different ways and at different paces. That's especially important with kids because they don't necessarily know their own learning styles, and you never know what they are coming from before they enter the classroom.

    It is so awesome that you are maintaining your musicianship and willing to share your enthusiasm with others!

    Judges order release of 2 high-profile migrants

    A federal judge in Nashville Sunday denied a Trump administration motion to detain Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland man illegally deported to an El Salvador prison in March, as the government pursues unrelated federal criminal charges filed before he was brought back to the U.S. on June 6. In a separate high-profile Trump-era immigration case, former Columbia student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil returned to New York City, and his wife and newborn son, on Saturday after being released following more than three months of detention in Louisiana.

    Iran confirms missile attack on U.S. military base in Qatar

    Iran's Supreme National Security Council released a statement confirming the attack and claiming the number of missiles fired was equal to the number of bombs the U.S. used in its strike on Saturday.

    "The base that was targeted in the attack by the powerful Iranian forces was far from urban facilities and residential areas in Qatar," the statement said.

    The Foreign Ministry of Qatar issued a statement saying Qatari air defenses "thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles," with no injuries or deaths reported.

    Zohran Mamdani reacted to the incident, calling Lander’s ICE arrest “fascism" and urging New Yorkers to speak out and demand his release.

    NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander arrested by ICE, spokesperson says

    NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by ICE at immigration court Tuesday, according to his spokesperson.

    Brad Lander, 55, is the current NYC comptroller and a progressive who advocates for police reform, affordable housing, and better management of the migrant crisis.

    Apparently, Lander has been accompanying immigrants exiting immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza and Lower Manhattan to help shield them from possible detention by ICE.

    Docker is renaming a mounted drive [Solved]

    So I recently moved most of my docker storage to a second hard drive, called "storage." After a system restart, docker is creating a folder called "storage," forcing the physical drive to be renamed "storage1." How do I prevent this from happening?

    I am using Xubuntu.

    ---

    Edit: As suggested, it was indeed my system spinning up Docker before mounting the internal disk. The solution (should work on most Unix-like systems) was to manually add a line to /etc/fstab as follows: First get the UUID for the problem drive

    ~$ sudo blkid -s UUID The output will show your drives and the UUID of each. Then edit the following file:

    ~$ sudo mousepad /etc/fstab #{or use your choice of editor, i.e. nano} Add the following line: /dev/disk/by-uuid/{UUID number copied from blkid output} /destination/of/your/drive ext4 defaults 0 0 Of course replace {UUID number copied from blkid output} and /destination/of/your/drive and set defaults & parameters as needed. These worked for me.

    Restart the system and the drive should be forced to mount before docker starts. This seems to be a known issue with certain docker setups.

    How to move OwnCloud data? (Solved)

    So I currently have a 1tb drive running all of my containers for my home server. I'm trying to finalize the process of transitioning from corporate cloud storage to my own personal cloud. I have a new 12 TB drive to hold all my files.

    I am running Xubuntu, with OwnCloud running in docker compose similar to this setup.

    By default, it saves all data in the var directory, but I am stuck with how to change it. I have my data backed up separately, so the plan is to set it up from scratch.

    There are complicated instructions here, but I don't have the skill to transfer this process to a docker compose installation. I have never used SQL commands, and I really have no idea how to do anything with it in docker.

    This is a critical step in my home server setup, without which I pretty much can't move forward. Can anyone help?

    Edit: Thanks from a real beginner. I was making it harder than I needed. The default volumes in the YML file were in an unfamiliar format to me. I rewrote the relevant lines and re-initialized and now it is working as intended.

    I guess I am still learning about the different ways that volumes can be designated in yaml.
