There are some useful options which can be found in the rsync manual although knowing which are redundant or conflicting can be tricky. If you run with the ‘n’ option first it will dry run, then you can remove the n to do the needful.

rsync -navhP --no-compress --ignore-existing --mkpath source dest

-n dry-run, no changes are made
-a is for archive, which recursively preserves ownership, permissions etc.
-v is for verbose, so I can see what's happening (optional)
-h is for human-readable, so the transfer rate and file sizes are easier to read (optional)
-P show progress
--no-compress as there's no lack of bandwidth between local devices
--ignore-existing will skip updating files that exist on receiver 
-r is recursive, included in -a
--mkpath will create the destination's path component

It’s not like you have to worry about getting someone’s old poop knife. Nobody would ever get rid of that.

Counterpoint, attempting to appease and cater to racists is the Ratchet Effect in action. This hasn’t caused racists to actually vote for Democratic candidates, rather it simply moves the Overton Window rightward.

If he wants you to do this, explain that you will buy a basic $10-20 unmanaged port extender (switch) and then take one plug out of the old router, connect to the new switch, and plug the cable you disconnected to the new one. You can always reverse those steps and reboot things if needed, but I wouldn’t expect this causing any problems given how often I’ve changed ports for things without any need to reboot.

The key here is making sure it’s an unmanaged switch, you don’t want a router doing Network Address Translation behind another router or you’ll have double NAT (which breaks certain port-dependent services unless ports are forwarded on both routers), but instead a simple switch doing Layer 2. If you have a spare router, many can be reconfigured in the settings to act as a dumb switch as well, but with an 8 port unmanaged Netgear switch selling for $17 that’s the easiest way.

Somebody else, please do the needful

I have pretty much only black socks to make pairing easy, and if I detect loose strings or it getting thin that sock is gone. Socks are like a dollar and I’m not about to ruin my day with a holey sock.

I felt dumb using it at a roundabout because nobody does there, then I looked it up and found it’s something you’re supposed to do. No harm in over communicating when you’re in control of a few thousand pounds of metal.

My server runs Debian VMs in Proxmox on an i7-2600 which has a lower benchmark than the 6600k. I also used the Perfect Media Server guide, and have 2 x 8T data drives pooled with MergerFS with 1 for snapraid parity, these are passed through to the main VM from Proxmox using ‘qm set’. One thing I would often forget after deleting/restoring this VM was to run qm set again after restore, ensuring it has the flag to not back up those drives or else backups will fail and I have to go uncheck the backup option on each drive to fix it.

If I need to spin up another VM for tinkering it’s easy enough to mount the NFS share as a volume with docker compose. Proxmox rarely shows CPU usage go above 50% (average is 10%) and this handles the whole *arr stack plus usenet and torrents in a single VM and compose file. I don’t have GPU passthrough set up because the motherboard on this older rig didn’t support IOMMU, never had issues with Plex or Jellyfin transcoding for Chromecast. I might build a new rig with GPU passthrough support to buffer media faster and selfhost LLMs when I get around to it.

What’s the use of being god if every run-down schmuck with a two dollar prayer book can come along and fuck up your plan?

Absolutely zero chance this person recognizes Trump blew up the nuclear deal with Iran, simply because it was signed under Obama. Some of us are cursed with remembering the past.

I suspect that can be true, as the sheets are one-size-fits-all rather than measuring based on the size. Usually I run laundry before it’s too full to reduce increased noise in the closet near my office. If I ever notice it’s not getting clean when more full I’ll just throw 2 sheets in given how cheap they are

I’ll mention you can get detergent sheets and they work fine. No more messing with powders or liquids for me.

In practice the stagnation of IPv6 seems to be a recognition of the unintended security that NAT with IPv4 adds. From a security perspective, having every device use a public IP and trying to prevent malicious software from simply opening whatever ports it needs per device would be a headache.

Before widespread internet it made sense to give out numbers in the White Pages because physical mail forwarding was the other option to find people when their phone number changed. In the internet age where scammers across the globe can and will use personal information to target you for social engineering scams, it is better from a privacy perspective to have phone numbers be information you volunteer to people. There are sites which attempt to catalogue this information and ways to remove yourself from these as well. If a scammer can simply go down a list of most common names and a number string they can more easily make it appear they have a fake Amazon delivery, PayPal transaction, or other pressing issue customized with their name. Most people will not use their critical thinking, and these scams are a big enough problem already.

Most important for me is being able to simply read the ballot and research candidates at my leisure. Not sure about failure points, my state has used mail voting for many years without issue and if Trump’s lackey makes ballots go missing I will know because I can track my ballot on the state’s website.

A really important point is some voting machines are ‘ballot marking devices’ which give you a human readable paper ballot with your choices (good) however the actual counting is done using a barcode or QR code (bad). There is never a good reason to prevent voters from verifying their ballot has their intended choices, yet some areas still insist on using these absurd machines.
