  • Remote backup server would be my suggestion.

    Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend's or family's place.

    I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.

  • If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage --- like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion --- then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).

  • I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.

    A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...

  • The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.

    (Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations...)

  • Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).

    For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.

    But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)

  • bitey

  • Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you're referring to) is about 25% --- but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).

  • Stock --- at least, RSUs --- is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you're referring to --- I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert...

    And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story...

  • Unclear from article (at least, for me) how much of this is existing stock grants only now vesting, vs. approved raises/new grants/etc.

    Not that it particularly matters --- big compensation at the top with tumult for the folks at the bottom is...not a good look.

  • Step one: join local bike coalition.

    Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.

    Only half joking here.

    It's not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see --- in the past 7 or so years that I've lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).

  • Pressure cooker stuff (Instant Pot here, but anything works)!

    Beans are dirt cheap and homemade refried-style beans are fantastic. Don't be shy with the oil (neutral/canola, avocado, refined coconut all great). MSG also helps. Play around with pinto and black ratios (or go more exotic!).

    Add to that some Mexican style rice --- toast in a pan (before putting in rice cooker) with tomato paste, veggie bouillon, salsa, whatever, and then cook in rice cooker as usual. I like jasmine the best for this.

    Can't go wrong with Mexican style beans and rice IMHO. (And in addition, you can feed them to dinner guests if you like --- who doesn't like to build their own burritos?).
