Just throwing some thoughts out there

• fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 and mount doesn’t see it – did you perhaps unplug it and replug it causing potential renumeration?

• Use the dmesg command to watch Linux detect the device

• Use cat /proc/partitions to see the kernels view of storage devices

• Check out the /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/by-partlabel etc and see how the point to each other

e.g.

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 25 19:46 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root -> ../../sda2

I got a pepperoni pizza like that once.

True, but AWS and the cloud in general likely would’ve never evolved without top notch free software, i.e. Linux, because the cost would’ve been prohibitive. I am on a team that runs a small public cloud and there are many systems needed to support the cloud, it’s not just the instances/VMs.

Good to know it’s that easy!

You tried to get organized and moved it here. It says “alpha” and “test” but it’s the real one, ready for production.

Thanks! I’m a Gitea user for years and was not aware of this. I was planning my own Gitea server, I will now forgo gitea for forgejo.

My eyes def rolled

Okay, I give up. Is rule of law no longer a thing?

It is and it’s working perfectly. It is utilized or ignored as needed to ensure the right people are kept down.

Right wingers are fucked up in the head. It’s time we stop viewing right wing views as valid ways of living.

Very important papers. Try spending time with her and her pile, it might make her so happy

She leads me to her pile of paper scraps and starts munching and absolutely loves it if I take part eat paper with her. I only let her eat a tiny bit tho, it’s not healthy.

One of my cats has what I call social pica. She is always trying to get me to eat paper with her.

I just don’t understand the appeal of paying $3,000 for a handbag when a $20 handbag will can do just the same thing.

The appeal is that a $3,000 handbag sends a signal, one that you have $3,000 to spend on a handbag and are the type of person who would do such a thing.

You mean terminal is life

Bucks County, at least the New Hope area is a diamond in the garbage. I went during pride season and like a quarter of the houses had a rainbow and/or a sign saying something like “Hate has no home here”.

DJB? Nice! Always been a fan.

Your reality is not universal

people want specialized agents for specialized functions

All of us have grown up in authoritarian systems, trained to look to the state for answers and safety. It’s not surprising that people trained to look to police for safety and penalized for protecting themselves “want” police of some sort.

Take notes. Might be useful to someone.

I never said might isn’t useful, it’s incredibly useful to those looking to coerce others. I’m saying it’s the desire to coerce others that is the problem, and law enforcement is the muscle behind the coercion. What reasons are there to coerce another that are not fucked up?

1. There is much that you are probably unaware of – prior to 2020, many if not most people in the U.S. including myself were unaware of just how problematic the police were. I’m not poor or black and had no direct experience, I thought there were a few bad apples in Compton, CA and NYC etc but assumed most cops were decent and just trying to keep the peace.

2. If you are correct and your police are not currently fucked up, I think your situation is temporary at best. Many things go through a similar cycle, they start out apparently working great or at least good enough and either the problems become more visible as you become more aware, or they get corrupted over time. Think about how many small companies (ahem, Google) start out with noble intentions and full of good people, but because of the profit motive seek power, and become corrupt. Think about taking a new job with energy and optimism and realizing over months it’s not what you thought because of entrenched power.

Make no mistake, if it’s not already this way, the laws will be changed in favor of the police as their unions get more powerful and their ability to get friends into high place improves. As the number of bad apples comes to outnumber the good ones, any real freedom or obligation to go against orders or do the right thing and blow a whistle disappears. As the number of atrocities that must be covered up grows, the mechanisms become darker and darker (just like in the Catholic Church) and the people involved more and more sick in the head.

Any time you have a concentration of power you will attract those that want power. It may take a couple decades but the “good cops” you have now will be replaced and then you will have little recourse to correct the problem because you will have a heavily armed, well funded gang full of sadists with a license to kill and powerful unions to protect them.

Authority is like a pile of steaming shit and psychopaths and sadists are like flies. This effectively leaves each society with a choice to make:

1. Make piles of shit (positions of power) and just deal with the flies and the consequences (i.e. eventual fascism or something like it)

2. Make piles of shit and attempt to keep the flies away (this has never in history worked for more than a generation or so)

3. Don’t make piles of shit (arguably how humanity lived for 200,000 year prior to the emergence of state power) and live a life with few flies, nothing you can’t swat away. This is called anarchism.
