A giant douche who’s a convicted felon and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history.

The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.

I’m really sorry that whoever tried to educate you failed so miserably.

So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.

You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.

Your “friend’s” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.

Maybe just write the academic works yourself, then they should pass.

Made them more valuable.

I was responding to this:

In the prehistoric world, a person with something to sell or trade could mostly do so without interference, because everyone had similar physical power, making robbery more dangerous than it was worth.

And this:

Free markets mean people can enter the market and do whatever kind of business they please so long as someone else is willing to take that deal.

That’s an extremely simplistic view of commerce and human history. Robbery was very common before government. Robbery is still very common, but less so.

Fraud and dangerous products run rampant without government intervention. Basically, without a government to protect you, the likelihood that a mega corp will sell you something that will kill you is super high. Just look at how much regulation has improved auto safety in the last 70 years. And appliance safety, medical safety, travel safety, food safety, etc.

The kind of world that libertarians pine for is the kind of world that would kill them in a month.

Those certain people probably wouldn’t include this guy. Nothing against him, he’d just be playing an odds game and the odds would not be in his favor.

What he could’ve made if there were no taxes? I doubt he’d be making as much if there were no government.

I like how the code has ASS in it.

My setup is pretty safe. Every day it copies the root file system to its RAID. It copies them into folders named after the day of the week, so I always have 7 days of root fs backups. From there, I manually backup the RAID to a PC at my parents’ house every few days. This is started from the remote PC so that if any sort of malware infects my server, it can’t infect the backups.

Half the population would believe the asteroid is a hoax spread by the [insert ethnic or religious group here].

The home release.

Let me do it for you.

The seventh wonder of the world, for sure.

Yeah, that could work if I could switch to zfs. I’m also using the built in backup feature on Crafty to do backups, and it just makes zip files in a directory. I like it because I can run commands inside the Minecraft server before the backup to tell anyone who’s on the server that a backup is happening, but I’m sure there’s a way to do that from a shell script too. It’s the need for putting in years worth of old backups that makes my use case need something very specific though.

In the future I’m planning on making this work with S3 as the blob storage rather than the file system, so that’s something else that would make this stand out compared to FS based deduplication strategies (but that’s not built yet, so I can’t say that’s a differentiating feature yet). My ultimate goal is to have all my Minecraft backups deduplicated and stored in something like Backblaze, so I’m not taking up any space on my home server.
