I never realized making everyone spend time in the most crowded, most slowly moving lines would end up "prioritizing the general traveling population" - I thought that would just slow down throughput for everyone, creating longer, slower lines. I'm amazed at #Noem's brilliant management insights. /s

Quelle surprise: energy agenda at odds with prime minister’s previous stated commitments to addressing climate change.

Capitalism + fossil fuels lobby = anthropogenic climate change

At some point in the last few months, deja dup has gotten unbearably slow. When I use duplicity directly with backblaze, my backups take 10 minutes; with deja dup (presumably using restic now) it takes over an hour.

Part of the problem was that at some point in these updates, several of my ignored folders were not being ignored (confirmed by looking at dconf), but I fixed that weeks ago.

Any thoughts?

Bon, la sauvegarde avec #rsync vers mon vieux disque externe rotatif, qui écrit à 1Mo/s, ça pique un peu (enfin, les premiers mégaoctets c'était à 30 Mo/sec, mais ça s'est vite tassé sur 500Go de backup à faire).

Je me souviens mieux pourquoi j'utilise en général un combo de #Borgbackup et #duplicity, en fonction des besoins.

Bon, la facilité d'accès n'est pas la même non plus.

Just noticed that YouTube has a ribbon icon next to their logo currently and when you hover over it it says "In solidarity with the Jewish community".. Meanwhile how many Palestinians have the jewish killed in the past year? 70,000 is it?.. I've never once seen YouTube mention that..

Yes, it is sad that 15 innocent people died, but it should NOT distract from or sweep under the proverbial rug the ongoing genocide of an entirety of innocent people.

After seeing #duplicity not start up due to a momentarily missing #python package (pexpect), it occurs to me that I really don't like having critical system utilities with fragile dependency chains.

#linux

I really should just back up with rsync and tar.

A quotation from C. C. Colton

Corruption is like a ball of snow, when once set a rolling it must increase. It gives momentum to the activity of the knave, but it chills the honest man, and makes him almost weary of his calling: and all that corruption attracts, it also retains, for it is easier not to fall, than only to fall once, and not to yield a single inch than having yielded to regain it.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 2, § 6 (1822)
