Obviously the Red Cross/Red Crescent have no idea how hacking works. Nobody is going to see a "digital emblem" marking their computer as being from a nonprofit/aid organisation... that's just ridiculous.

Did anyone expect Dump & Co. to follow any rules of any kind at any time anywhere? Anyone who did... is a dolt. Dump supporters don't care if Dump & Co. break every law there is, because they're in the Dump cult & drank the Dump kool-aid.

Just wonderful... a social media site with even LESS truth than the ones we already have. They should just call it "Lies R Us"

This headline makes it sound like they were dropped off by Amazon or something.
Didn't the astronauts have anything to do with piloting the capsule to the ISS?
Perhaps it should read "Astronauts successfully reach the ISS in SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule."

After all, astronauts aren't cheap consumer merchandise from China.

If you run some form of Linux, or BSD Unix, or Solaris on the hardware, you can readily use ZFS, which can outperform hardware RAID solutions, and can do a lot of different data protection schemes. You can add SSD's to an array of spinning rust, to have read and write cache layers on SSD, and ZFS will use significant caching in RAM as long as it has RAM available. It also allows for doing things like replacing all the drives in the main array with larger ones.. once the last one is replaced, the pools's size will expand. (This can be set to wait until you issue a command telling it to expand, or to happen automatically when the last disk's size is upgraded... and the pool's size won't change until all the disks in it It also allows for extremely easy addition of new filesystems, because ZFS manages all that stuff within the pool, and all filesystems have access to all the space in the pool unless you limit the size. You can also create block devices out of the pool (virtual disks for VM's etc..) if you want to, and all filesystems can be snapshotted and sent off somewhere else, to be imported into arrays later, including sending incremental snapshots, so if you want to have the data replicated somewhere, you can periodically send a snapshot from the "source" to the "destination" machine... keep a few snapshots "back" on each machine, and you can only send the delta between locations. (great if you REALLY want your data to be multi-site, but probably WAY overkill for what the original poster wants to do.) If you can throw memory at it, I highly recommend ZFS, for performance, data protection, and ease of use. (and.. it's easier to pronounce it if you use the pronunciation used everywhere but the U.S. for the letter Z... Zeddeffess, is easier to say than ZeeEffEss.. go ahead..try it.) ;)

I said it in the subject, and I'll say it again here: LAME!

and... I had to edit this post, because there's a filter that said "Filter error: Your comment looks too much like ascii art." WTF?

When the *ONLY* way to get that piece of filth, Dump, out of the oval office is to vote for Biden... it's irresponsible. It has nothing to do with thinking outside the box, it has to do with survival of the United States as a nation. The system is BROKEN... and a side-effect of the way in which it's broken is... that a vote for the green party *IS* a vote for Dump & Co., full stop. There is no way around this at this time. The electoral college will keep your vote for the greens from ever having any meaning whatsoever. Until Dump is out... then tried for treason and executed by firing squad... there's no way to even start working on federal-level election reform. If you want for candidates like the Green Party etc.., to *EVER* be able to win an election, you (and everyone else) need to campaign for election reform, starting with getting all non-public funding out of elections to level the playing field... no PACS, no Super PACs, no corporate sponsorships, and then implementing ranked-choice voting *EVERYWHERE* So that you could make your conscience vote for the greens, but if your #1 choice candidate doesn't win, then your number 2 gets your choice.. if that one doesn't win... then #3 does... and if you don't rank Dump.. he never gets your vote, ever These two things would make a huge difference in whether people would "risk" voting for something other than demopublicans or republicrats Another wonderful reform would be to outlaw all political parties, and only allow lobbying of politicians by their own *HUMAN* constituents. Eliminating the Electoral College wouldn't be a bad idea, either. The political issue it was designed to smooth over really doesn't exist anymore.

Yay! Hooray! Goody Goody! =D

OOH! =o My bad! (I'm used to dealing in TB at work nowadays)

I do remember piggybacking chips, and having to bend up one pin & solder on a wire, with the other end of that soldered to a spot on the mainrboard. (when I upgraded my 256MB RAM expander to 512MB on my C64)

No, it's not named "Theseus" Maybe I should call it "Trigger" (google "only fools and horses trigger's broom" if you wonder why.)

My "desktop" is a combination of a server and a workstation. I have a ZFS array in it with 6x spinning rust and 2x fast SSD's. (No nvme as of yet..next motherboard iteration) Because of the ZFS pool, and the way I have the drives set up, I just have to install the OS, install ZFS drivers if not supported by the OS "out of the box", and import the ZFS pool. I'm using raidz2, with SSD's for read and write cache, so I get excellent performance on top of having great resilience. (can withstand loss of 2 drives without data corruption.) I don't have any use for tablets... everything I can do there, I can do on my phone. I don't upgrade those often, as I'm not the type who ends up smashing screens all the time. ;) As for backups... I backup some of the filesystems from the ZFS array to USB drives. That way, on top of raidz2's resilience, I also have a backup. My most important items are also tarballed, GPG'd, and pushed into two different free cloud storage tiers, auto-rotating the backups over time. (I'm a DevOps engineer, so of course it's automated.) =D

I have a USB3 expansion card in the case, and a USB3 hub sitting on my desk. The desktop (server size case) sits on the floor behind the desk. So.. that's a non-issue.

My current motherboard has had it's CPU upgraded, it's RAM upgraded, video, USB, disk controller... all upgraded. This is the fifth motherboard that's been in this case. The third power supply. Every disk in it has been replaced at some point... but it's been continuously in service, 24/7/365, with some downtime here & there for various reasons... maybe downtime totalling 2 months... since 2003 or so. There's really no reason in the world that things can be made to be upgraded & repaired... except that companies want to make that much more money because you have to buy the whole thing. Even my MacBook Pro has been upgraded several times, although what could be upgraded is a bit limited. It's a tradeoff between portability and upgradability... but it's nonetheless been upgraded. The first time I upgraded a computer, it was a Commodore 64... so it's not exactly a new thing for me. :)

I find, that on a dedicated firewall appliance (or cluster of same), at least with the ones I've used regularly in the past, (Juniper SSG series, Palo Alto, Fortigate), The way things are broken down helps me to visualise what I'm doing.... what rules attach to what etc.. I find that if I'm having to do it all in my head (such as with iptables, pf, ipf, firewalld etc.., which I've also used plenty) that I have to re-examine the configuration several times before I understand exactly where I want to add/remove/modify something. It's especially useful if there's more than one piece to a particular "firewall rule" I don't think I'd want to try and administer a "next-gen" firewall such as a Palo Alto with a CLI as the primary means of control. (although I want it available to me!)
