Puting having such pictures would explain quite a lot …

Exposing services to the internet is a whole other game. Try wireguard first, i never had issues and use it mostly from my tablet.

I’d almost created a new account to upvote you again

One can only hope they never forget how you shut down the USA to avoid cheaper healthcare. That leaving people without wages and you even fired many of them. You then appealed to avoid feeding them while throwing extravagant parties … NO ONE should forget that !!

I would not trust him. He’s no good on his word.

WHY would they get a bonus if they don’t even get wages earned.

He ain’t gonna follow through so what does it matter it doesn’t add up ???

No close friends does not equals lonelyness

I know and I agree. I still want an air-gap backup. Because …it’s air gapped

I have an apc 3000 which is a fantastic device. But it uses more power than my pc, switch, router and ap’s combined. The grid is stable enough for me to rely on things to survive or can be restored from either the local or the offsite backup.

I copy my data to a nas at home. That copies once a day to an off-site nas. Once in a while I connect an external disk to the nas and copy all and disconnect it.

Perfect or not, compliant with backup procedures or not … it works for me and i’m happy having with an air gap backup.

Not that it makes it easy to go a month without a paycheck

isn’t it common practice/advice in the USA to have a buffer ? I know not everyone has the opportunity to do so, but I taught my kids to aim for a buffer of at least 2x netto paycheck to cover emergencies/unforeseen. Or if the own a house, car etc aim for 8x. They still do that and it helped them to stay out of debt (other than for buying the house).

Dutch army '87-'88. One of the things they had as a rule: you would be placed in a position where you could learn a new thing. That mean that t.ex. a carpenter was learned how to cook while a cook was learned carpentry.

agents working without pay during shutdown

I also read air traffic employees calling in sick by the dozens (okay the have some other beef too) but how does that work in general ? Will government employees get payed for the hours worked during the shutdown whenever it ends ?

I’ve had it, and i’m in favor. Though not perfect, there are good aspects that helps to learn and accept how a society works.

small as one could reasonably allow, and the ceramic is almost an inch thick

they better heat that cup with a blowtorch for 5 min. before they pour coffee in it or they will only be serving something akin to iced coffee

starbucks has no coffee. just some sugared fluid on which they insist it must be mixed with milk, one way or the other

in the light version? yes!
