Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.

Can’t anymore, there are too many to give that much coverage.

Damn, that’s pretty slow. An ebike can easily match that speed.

That would certainly make it so everyone can share the road comfortably, and encourage more non-car traffic.

Wait, this sounds really familiar.

A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.

Well, with multiple users you’d need to decide what the use case is for the whole NAS and then work down from there.

Are you sharing everything in the NAS with everyone? In that case your NAS setup is fine, just a little permissive, because with RW to everything, the end users can break everything.

If it were me setting this up, I’d have different mount points for different users. 1 mount for each user that only they can read/write (not even you should be able to see it), and 1 mount that everyone can read/write, maybe if you want to go a little bonkers, 1 mount that everyone can read, but only you can write to.

Then you’d mount those three to separate mounts in your /media, and you can link them from your home directory for specific use cases.

Obviously this is completely overkill, but you can take the parts that sound appealing to you and ignore the rest.

How many users are there?

Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).

Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?

There’s a really good interview with Rushkoff on the You Are Not So Smart podcast, gives more context to the story and has some great info.

Star Trek was pretty inconsistent with money. Riker often gambled for money, and they certainly treated specific items as “valuable” (historical items, weapons, and especially liquor.)

I think some of the writers just didn’t know how to picture a post-money world. But by DS9 they mostly treated things like latinum an inter-species trading valuable (especially to/from the Ferengi) or just something that’s needed in the outskirts of the Federation.

Fuck, I just ate a big bowl of Isoleucine for breakfast this morning.

Depends on what the goal is. Heavy vehicles do disproportionately more damage to the infrastructure.

They might want to encourage smaller, lighter cars, regardless of type. They certainly make small city EVs, as well as just encouraging walking, biking, public transportation, etc.

Wondering how widespread this issue is, obviously it would suck really bad if it happened to you, but there’s a lot of “may” and “could” in this article, which implies it didn’t hit every vehicle.

This article is about New Zealand.

Book critical of Ming emperor recalled. Xi Jinping didn’t like it because… it was full of clickbait chapter titles.

That’s what they did in Bad Santa. But it was a snowman instead of a mannequin.

Still cheaper than the way we do it, so even going by a cost analysis, we’d be saving money.

But it’s not about the cost, it’s about siphoning money over to the big shots, and keeping healthcare tied to employment.

Super cool, hopefully it can do some real neat citizen science.

That’d be great. I’m in a lot of remote areas, and if I could have a more reliable texting solution, without any additional hardware, I’d be thrilled.

Even better if I could get semi high speed data in the middle of nowhere.

Not sure I agree here, seems she interacted pretty significantly with kink people. Sure most of her knowledge about most of the kinks were as a passive observer, but with her background, her audience, and her original surveys, she certainly has more direct contact with various communities than the vast majority of people.
