I have two hens.

One is a fat hybrid that lays all year round and thinks it’s a dog. Dog chicken looks like the top picture.

The other is a Dutch bantom that is scared of its own shadow and won’t let us within 10m of it but only lays for 5 months and for the rest of the year looks like the bottom picture.

You sound like you didn’t learn the lesson. Tut.

Oh the friends know. They talk about it between themselves, just too polite to say it directly.

Automattic will have to […] remove the checkbox that asks WordPress users to verify they’re not affiliated with WP Engine when logging in.

That is petty af.

It isn’t? Going to give me nightmares

Or anyone that does automation. Pretty much any Windows sysadmin.

I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂

In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!

I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.

It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn’t afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.

I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.

This was my lesson.

I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.

Backups are super, SUPER important. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it’s always reassuring how easy it is to restore.

We need a community for cats sitting weird

The large grocery store in my town was taking Halloween items off the shelves and replacing them with Christmas items yesterday. Halloween hasn’t even been yet and the rush for Christmas has started. They had Christmas items for sale in the last week of September. The commercialisation of Christmas is out of control.

For the first few seconds I thought it really was a mirror.

Cash is still used a lot. Especially for second hand small purchases. Not everyone wants to do the PayPal dance at a car boot.

Report it lost instead. I’ve lost cards loads of times over the years. One phone call and the new one is on its way. However the fact your bank wouldn’t issue your replacement makes me think they would charge you for this privilege.

I like their ColorVu night vision technology so was going to buy a bunch of these for my next home.

Same as what I have done here, I put the cameras in their own isolated VLAN with no internet and they only rule is to allow the NVR to access those cameras streams.

In the UK, if Christmas or New Year falls on a weekend, a seperate equivalent holiday is made during the week to compensate.

The US minimum wage hasn’t changed in TEN YEARS?! You guys need to revolt, that is awful.

I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.

What issues did you have?

How is what he said wrong? 25% is “many Russians”.
