  • Portabase 1.14: Open source database backup/restore tool

    Jump

  • Nice to see the flurry of activity on this young project. I Considering deploying to my swarm to handle restore only. I have a bare metal db VM using cron to dump dbs, and autorestic handles retention with deduplication. This works well for me since my homelab is generally pretty quiet.

    Two things I'd like/want to see: deduplication either via supporting Restic as a backup backend and swarm-style SECRET_FILE support (I forked and may PR this one)

  • Adjusted for inflation and converted to USD: $36,694.75

    Golf GTI S has a starting MSRP of $34,590

    And let me tell you, they are not close to the same car.

    Take off the glasses, mate

  • OP says he wants to optimize thousands of shortened URLs as fast as possible. As soon as that sqlite db goes, any references to the shortened links go with it. Part of the Internet dies.

  • It's kinda funny when people oversimplify things to black vs. white in order to mock other people and feel good about themselves.

  • That's not a fetus

  • GitHub Action Runner Alternatives

    Jump

  • Huh, MacOS action runners? So like, needing to run CI on a Apple Silicon? Interesting, I guess.

    I was sort of expecting something different when I clicked. It's just lists of other providers you can pay instead of GitHub.

    You don’t have to do anything else except to create an account, setup billing,

    Hold up, let me stop your right there...

  • Btw for anyone who isn't aware Dan, the self-professed crank, is a senior writer at the national review most famous for his constitutional originalism and being anti-anti-MAGA. Like, he never advocates for Trump, just criticizes his critics. Read his works and come to your own conclusion on if he is a crank.

  • political star wars

    Jump

  • Star Wars is not exactly subtle or full of nuance. It's pulp, and it wears that badge with unironic, cinematic pride.

    ​It is the spiritual successor to the 1930s Saturday morning serials of bold archetypes, primary-colored morality, and breakneck pacing where the stakes are always "the fate of the galaxy" and the villains wear literal black masks. It doesn't ask you to deconstruct the socioeconomic subtext of a spice mine.

  • You Don’t Look Like a Gamer: On Toxicity, Gatekeeping, and Women Who Share Their Gaming Lives Online (my article)

    Jump

  • If this happens to a celebrity posting about a 20 year old Nintendo game system, I can only imagine what it's like for your average female logging into modern competitive shooter.

    Gamergate never went away. It was the precursor to the youthful fadcisti, in many ways. We need women in these spaces to help diffuse the malignant culture. They'll remain targets of harassment tho, so it's up to everyone to police misogyny, and racism for that matter, too.

  • Thanks for proving the point that there was never any debt crisis in the United States

  • Absolute nonsense. Government debt has little real-world impact on future outcomes, at any level. The deliberate plundering and rigging, however ...

  • Spending spree, and all we got was:

    Economic Recovery (Stimulus): The primary focus was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (2009), which aimed to boost the economy through infrastructure investment, job creation, and tax cuts.

    Healthcare Reform: The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (2010) was a signature priority, designed to increase health insurance coverage.

    Energy and Environment: Significant investments were made in clean energy, renewable energy, and energy efficiency programs, including the "smart grid".

    Education: Funding was prioritized for education reforms, including student aid reform and bolstering K-12 education.

    Infrastructure and Manufacturing: Initiatives like the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program focused on infrastructure, alongside tax incentives for domestic manufacturing.

    Middle-Class Tax Relief: The administration enacted various tax breaks for small businesses, veterans, and workers to strengthen the middle class.
