I 100% agree with you there.

I would imagine “we’re cops” was much easier to say than “were secret federal agents sent here to detain you because you said something we don’t like”.

Shitty situation all around and it’s painful to watch this happen. I’m ashamed to be from a place that screams freedom but has consistently shown that freedom only applies when you meet certain criteria, on top of all the other shit that’s happening.

Are you serious?

They might not be cops, but that was quick and efficient with almost no interference. Actual cops would have just laid her out and detained her with excessive force. What you saw was trained professionals. They surrounded her, overwhelmed her, arrested her, and quietly walked off with her.

I’m not defending it, but they knew exactly what they were doing and it went exactly as they planned it to go. Quietly.

Did you expect some kind of movie style abduction, roll up screeching tires in a panel van and 10 guys jump out and toss a bag over her head then toss her in the van and peel out?

Ok, yeah.

Fell asleep last night sorry.

I did the following for that. I just went and double checked it and it is set to what I want it to.

[Service]
User=username
Group=groupname

Ok, I’m not entirely sure what happened but it’s working now. Just restarted my computer and it didn’t revert.

Strange.

Nope, I’m running ext4 on pretty much everything.

Interesting, was there anything in particular that you did with the services other than editing the service to run as those particular users?

Side note, I just tried to chown the sabnzbd folder and everything inside updated but the main folder itself refuses to change. Even after stopping the service.

Edit: scratch that. I closed and re-opened Dolphin and checked the properties of the folder and now it’s showing correctly.

I’m still working on learning about containers but not quite there yet.

Default being, when each service is installed it creates an individual user/group (sonarr, radarr, sabnzbd) and the folder that is created in /var/lib/ for each service is set to those particular users/groups.

At this time, sonarr and radarr seem to be ok (I will need to double check after an update to them) but SABnzbd reverts the folder permissions every time I reboot and complains whenever I reboot since it can’t write to the db or log files because the permissions change. I have looked at the config but didn’t see anything outstanding that would indicate a reason it would be changing. Unless I am missing a different config file somewhere outside of that folder. There aren’t any settings from within the web interface pointing to that either, at least from what I could see.

I would take the whole thing out short of the side up against the house and put a decent wood picnic style table, a fire pit (if that’s allowed where you’re at) like one of the steel ones raised up off the ground and use the extra space for growing veggies and stuff.

Depends on what you want though.

Are you wanting to repair/replace it and have that whole patio area or are you willing to do a bit more with the earth underneath it?

You could always do like you said and use pavers or gravel some of the area too and still reclaim some of the ground underneath to use for other stuff.

Are we forgetting the actual model names?

Macbook Air - Mine is A2337. They do have arbitrary model numbers for all of their stuff too. Guaranteed they do the same thing with their pens, pencils, and other stuff. It’s just that most consumers rarely pay attention to them. To be fair though, most of the apple model numbers I’ve seen are similar to what I said above which is not nearly as bad as how they do TVs lol.

People comment because the foot to body length ratio looks weird. Not because he’s “short”. 5’7 isn’t short. It’s not tall like someone that’s 6’5 but it’s not short either.

They are probably just trying to keep consistency between an AD instance and Exchange or something like that. Or just laziness.

When we generate new user accounts we run a script that generates an email (so we don’t have to manually do it). It gets generated with the username of the individual which in our case would be first initial, last name. Then another alias gets generates to first.last@x.whatever and is set as primary. While the username@x.whatever is left as an alias, but would still technically work if you emailed it.

If a username already exists we will use the first and second letter of the first name and then the last name, etc.

In the above I mentioned consistency and laziness, but there is also another side, and that is your user base. If you are servicing hundreds of thousands of people or just a ton in general, consistency is very much preferred. Try having to explain to an end user that their login is simply “username” for their computer, but their email is “first.last@x.whatever” oh and let’s go ahead and loop in Azure SSO so now their software license login and login for all these other portals is “username@x.whatever”.

You end up with a mass of confusion. Sometimes simplicity is best when it’s possible.

That uhh, dead chicken on the ground there seems to say otherwise lol.

All four sites are already back up.

Doesn’t mean they won’t go back down, but I really hope these fuckwits going absolutely batshit rings some bells so damn loud that people finally wake the fuck up and throw their asses in prison.

Doubt it, but one can hope.

Edit: changed three to four

Lol

Well, your post says otherwise.

You have the intent to do actions that could impact the housing/land market.

BUT you noted that people can’t live on agricultural land where you are at just now. so that makes a big difference, and had you of made that clear your post might have been a little bit more well received.

So I think that is an interesting idea but you are still going against the grain there.

There are many people here that are very against the exact thing you are trying to do, so the reddit quip you made is kinda backwards lol.

Please no.

This is already a big problem we have with the world today, people trying to make money from land and housing. We need less people doing shit like this. Causing housing market issues just to make money.

Also, it might backfire on you. More “clutter” is more work/cost for a prospective buyer. You would need to be restrictive to buyers that specifically want your style, which could put you in a position of discrimination.

You could say, “but I’m only one person, it’s not going to make a difference” not thinking about the millions of other people out there doing the same thing. Don’t do this, just sell it and move on if you’re going to sell it.

It’s funny how they try to frame it. Well the hospital did this but they actually meant to do this.

Umm excuse me, you don’t get to say what they “meant to order” because you aren’t the ones that ordered it.

That is an absolutely fair assessment and you are right.

I think there could be some wiggle room in terms of legality here though, the issue is global enforcement.

Sure, the CEO is responsible for maximizing profits, but when they lay off potentially thousands of people, essentially union busting at the highest level, they should be arrested and jailed. Following orders is not an excuse. “I shot that kid because my commander told me to, even though we had no proper intel and there was no sign of imminent danger” turns into “I just possibly made 1000 people lose their homes and many of them could potentially lose their life due to duress from my actions because someone wanted to make a million dollars more”. So fuck it, if someone dies due to a chain reaction of events that all started when they lost their job, let’s charge the CEO with murder, and since it’s all coming from the investors, let’s charge them with murder too since they are the ones giving the orders.

Anybody making more than a million dollars a year needs to be held to such a high standard that makes their life extremely uncomfortable, until the point where humans live on an equal scale. That will never happen though.

At the end of the day I’m not arguing with you at all. I agree with you. The investors are one of if not the main root problem and we absolutely live in a society that promotes this.

I am absolutely disgusted by how things are in the world today. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, but these oligarchs are not making mistakes. They don’t care, and they need to pay for their actions.

Edit just because: I know that my thought process is way out there, and we will never have things work in a way that benefits everyone, but it’s very disheartening to see people suffer. It makes me seethe with rage at how this stuff just continues to be allowed to degrade society and human rights just so some selfish fucks can have more money than they will ever be able to spend. So a touch of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of hope, with a whole lotta rage is my mind. I just want to be able to raise my kid and not have to worry about the shit situation they will probably have to deal with 20 years from now. Or not see kids sleeping under bridges by themselves or hear/see any other of the absolutely irrational things going on in the world because of people in power. It fucking hurts.

I made a similar comment in another thread about this.

Anytime something like this happens where it is clear that they are doing it for a specific reason (regardless of whatever garbage excuse they make) they should be required to pay at a bare minimum one years salary to every employee at their current or a higher rate to offset the loss of their job due to corporate greed.

I also think the CEO should be arrested, and fuck it, while we’re at it, any shares that they have in the company should be sold off and either given to the employees in an even split, or given to local unions and programs that support the local workforce.

Fuck these greedy ass little bitches and their investors. Tank their fucking stock and throw them in jail.

It’s not that difficult to go into your router and just block all external traffic from a device so yes I trust mine not to phone home.

I just downloaded rufus and a mint iso, here’s a couple screen grabs.

Launch rufus, and plug in your usb stick, it should show up under device.

From there click select on the right side. Browse to where you have the ISO you got from the linux mint website and select it.

Once you get back to the other screen hit start.

You shouldn’t need to mess with any settings unless you are using secure boot.

Once that’s done, you should restart and boot from the USB stick. Depending on the model of your laptop there are different methods to get into the bios to change the settings to allow booting from usb. If it goes into grub mode it will look like a command prompt with a few selections. Just hit enter on the first option and it will boot into the live usb.

Once you are in the live usb mode, it’s basically all gui to install, test, etc.

Nowadays the terminal stuff is not really needed for basic use, so you should be able to get spun up pretty easy.
