Another day, another horrifying decision out of the 5th Circuit on abortion, this time over federal protections for emergency medical care including abortion services. How did the Fifth Circuit arrive at its awful decision, and will SCOTUS hear the case? open.substack.com/pub/statusku

Do you know what’s really odd?

Numbers that aren’t divisible by two.

I see "Fuck this operating system" and "fuck that operating system" but I don't think you can fuck an operating system, otherwise there would probably be a lot more viruses.

Haven’t heard anyone say 2024 is going to be their year. Good to know we learned our lesson.

Why was it called Infinity War and not Thanos: The Hand Of Fate

If you max out your Soft Skills, you can use The Voice from Dune

That's what I've heard, anyway

Teacher: William Shakespeare is credited with the invention of over 1,700 words. He was a linguistic genius.

Student: Can I make up words and use them in my papers?

Teacher: Absolutely fucking not.

Much like in Disco Elysium, the universe is always running a series of dice rolls for you invisibly in the background with every interaction

As part of my big backup, I decided to gather up all the hard drives sitting in my closet, sort them by how old they are, and then reshuffle all my backups so the oldest backups use the oldest drives. The old backups are good to have, but if I'm gonna lose one to a hardware issue, best it be an old drive.

I'm kinda glad I did it, because it turns out the drive that originally held my 2017-2019 backups went bad AFTER I pulled stuff off it. Originally, I encrypted that drive with BitLocker, and apparently removing BitLocker on the drive trashed the way the drive is set up. Any write access hung Windows, and Linux just wouldn't even find the drive. I couldn't fix the issue with a low-level format, so that drive is toast.

Secondly, I have a whole extra hard drive I didn't know about, which is 6TB of blank space. That's at least 4 years of future backups there, so I should be good until 2029 for new drives. :)

Also, I think it's hilarious that my 2006-2008 backups all fit on 250GB while 2018-2020 filled a 4TB drive.

The backup had the pre-crash copy of the Recipe Database! I'm saved! WOO!

Next time, delete the incremental backups AFTER the full backup!
