It’s not often a thread will make you see things differently, but this is one such thread. I learned some things. It’s long, and I’ll probably even reread it.

I really love using a shell script to set my terminal colours (like in the screenshot), I feel like it's kind of a "weird" way to configure colours but I always find messing around in my terminal settings so annoying.
also I don't switch terminal emulators that often but it's nice for my colours to Just Work (tm) if I'm in a different one
Running a shell script (that I just run every time I start my shell) feels so much easier to me.
@mattround that is a truly epic hook
"They pull a knife, you pull a Fisherman's Ring. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the Infernus. That's the Chicago way..."

We encourage imagination when trying to leave the USA. We congratulate Robert Prevost in his nice hack - escape to Italy by being elected pope.

At Trans Rescue, we have a lot of British and American #trans people asking about claiming asylum in other countries. Our advice is not to try this route as we think such claims are unlikely to succeed.
We've written a piece that fully explains why this is the case, and how the asylum system works.

If any readers are able, please consider helping Trans Rescue. We have passengers stuck in desperate situations around the world, and we operate on a shoestring. We need your support to operate.
@neotoy it's great - once.
tested with a bunch of smaller drives, really needs s/w raid of some sort, that bottlenecked i/o when combined with one slightly slower drive. you'd want as reliable a set of drives as you could find (usb-nvme cases prob best at this time) and jbod for speed. s/w raid a bit too susceptible to update changes, hotplug events and random slowdowns for me in the end.
maybe hand that off to a small ethernet-connected pc as the storage controller via samba/nfs: a ghetto nas?
