Sorry, I’ve already donated all the Plasma I can safely donate! /s jic :)

No reason to avoid it. Just know that you can’t easily shink the filesystem, only grow it. To shrink you’d need to create a new FS then copy the data over manually.

Hey, if these companies want the job done right they should hire a professional to do it! ;)

Hmm. Maybe systemctl enable rc-local because I was too lazy to get the service order correct and I just wanted something to happen last and be done with it.

Yeah but I mean I really wasn’t saying people are flocking to the US. I’m just saying that people with means, even in the countries we think of as having great health care do still come to the US to get advanced procedures they can’t get or can’t get fast enough where they are. But as the meme says it’s going to be expensive. Edit: Oh I just realized I’ve been posting on .ml, I need to stop doing that…

If I already have health care can I get two health cares? Jkjk what I’d really like it’s affordable healthcare. I’m spending a good chunk of money on something I’ve very rarely used so far.

Funny thing. Some of my Norwegian family came to the US for healthcare they couldn’t get in Norway. I believe it was some type of heart surgery one time and and I can’t remember the other. So while it is expensive and out of pocket you can actually get that surgery when you need it.

Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

Eliminate the submiminum wage mentioned in the article, then increase the minimum wage to something you can live on

oflag=direct

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

The perfect attire for those times when you have a deer hunting trip in the morning and a political rally in the evening!

Neat! I’ll have to try that out.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I’m missing?

Oh yeah it’s totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I’ll “send to Kodi” from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn’t a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can’t speak to that as I don’t have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that’s a proprietary Microsoft codec so that’s probably why I didn’t encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec… Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

Tree style tabs is my enabler 😖

I’m not interested in discussing the first paragraph but for the second; as I understand it you have to define something before you can regulate it. The pedantry is over the definition of a machine gun in that a bump stock doesn’t really apply because each bump is a separate action by the operator, and the court apparently agreed. The definition of a machine gun can be changed perhaps to define a maximum rate of fire instead of number of rounds fired per trigger pull or something.

FWIW you can bump fire without a bump stock, It just requires a little bit of manual dexterity
