I know you are joking but I can’t sleep so I will share.

I have seen two huge gasoline explosions and the aftermath of a gas pump explosion.

One was from a cigarette. I didn’t actually see that, but I was sitting in social studies class when the shockwave hit us. It felt like the ceiling pressed down on us. It blew out all the pane glass windows in downtown. This was in the early’80s. Someone who was cleaning a gasoline barge lit a cigarette out of habit. It was like a fuel air bomb going off.

I was a little kid in the early ‘70s when a gasoline truck driver accidentally set his truck on fire by the static from his nylon jacket. It was at night and the explosion woke me up. You could see the fire from everywhere in town.

In the late ‘70s these three dumbasses were stealing gasoline from the filling station where they worked. They were filling 55 gallon drums in a van. It was dark so one of these genuses lit his lighter.

The burned out van was still there in the middle town in the morning. Everyone in the small town drove by to look.

Every annoying safety rule has multiple stories like this behind them.

What app is this?

That is a good point.

In my case, I was trying to address the shortcomings of Apple Time Machine. I use a Mac mini as the server I work from on all my machines. Time Machine does the version Managment for me.

I just use Sync Thing through a VPN to keep an offsite backup of content files (not a complete OS restore) and to keep a copy of critical files on my laptop in case I am away from my home network and need to see a file.

I still need to implement a regular air gapped backup instead of the ad-hoc that I have now.

I dunno.

I am using it to keep a real time copy of documents on an offsite server.

Feels like a backup to me.

I use syncthing.

Is rsync better?

Syncthing works pretty well for me and my stable of Ubuntu, pi, Mac, and Windows

I’ve been to two of these recently.

Unfortunately, when you get to a certain age, you start attending funerals for your ex-coworkers.

A few of the people you would like to see show up there if they still live close.

TBF ChatHPT is probably your best bet

In the US, it is Aldi and Trader Joe’s

When asked how I would like it prepared, I like:

“still pissed off”

I have a friend that goes with:

“knock off the horns and wipe its butt”

Exactly how we did it too. We created the editor/assembler that peeked to see what was there and display it in Assembly, Hexadecimal, and ASCII.

You could edit whichever version you wanted and it would Poke it into RAM.

You could also save swaths to a file.

Who do you think invents the drugs?

Don’t forget us!

Is that a real picture or AI?

Seriously though, Biden did sign an executive order that prohibits government funded research from going behind a pay wall.

First of all, every would is true. Nanana boo-boo is not a rebuttal.

Second, if it is so awesome for people and not about tracking, why do you sneak in changes that circumvent anti tracking without telling people about it and burying the change in submenus?

How many people regularly read submenus?
