told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

...

[She got a] five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

I won't condone it but I'm not going to outright condemn it either

In a land where desktops can be ripped out and replace with ease - what's the point in arguing? GNOME isn't my thing but I'm glad it's an option.

Are we, the Democratic party out of touch?

No, it's the electorate's fault!

That Sony retailed for $1300 when it launched

The iPhone goes for $800

The 13 Pro which released around the same time also had USB 3.2g2 and 120hz display. The Pros are clearly a better comparison.

That's not to say Apple's done good or anything, just a super expensive Android device vs the entry iPhone doesn't seem like the best comparison

Your car doesn't fill a lane so - and stay with me here - busses are wider.

No that's not what this was, this wasn't a jumpy cop. This was murder full stop.

Absolutely still turn it on though, or your phone will be pushing it's power to the max screaming for cell towers the whole flight.

But sure if you want to pop it on when you get close to landing, you can usually get a signal that low.

It [the name Turtle Island] sounds so cute. It makes me want to live here even more, if 130 years of relative safety for my family weren't a good enough reason.

How fucking absolutely ghoulish do you have to be to say some shit like this. You live in relative wealth and safety BECAUSE your ancestors and the rest of the colonial establishment committed atrocities against the indigenous peoples of America, stole their land, and continue to erase them even as they live today.

Imagine knowing that today tribal land is some of the most disadvantaged areas of this country, with poor access to healthcare, education, aid, etc. and the absolute extreme hardship their ancestors went through and then saying this shit being a privileged cracker ass mf. Absolute genocidal maniacs.

We're up and running now, 30 minutes behind schedule.

I had added 1TB of storage to the server, but it turned out to be too slow and impacted performance hugely.

I was able to get 25GB extra NVMe storage for $7/mo, which should be enough to hold us for a couple months at the rate the DB has been growing. But that's just a bandaid. I like our current hosting provider but I will most likely have to find a new one as HostHatch doesn't have many options for larger SSD storage at prices we can afford. Good news I suppose, in addition to additional storage we also have 2 extra CPU cores and 6GB more RAM (22GB). Of course we don't really need those, but nice to have in any case.

In the meantime, I'll speak to their support team to see if they have any non-standard upgrade options or else research other providers.

We've run out of space for the database! I've found a solution without increasing our costs too much ($5/mo), though the storage will be slower. I don't anticipate it affecting real world performance at this scale.

This was the cause of the outage earlier today. Backups are suspended until tomorrow to keep free space to keep running.

Additionally, the photo server database was corrupted by the free space running out, a backup had to be deployed and so any photos uploaded after 11am November 7th 2023 (US East) will have been lost.

I don't anticipate this taking more than about an hour, follow along at https://status.thelemmy.club

Get offline and go help, if you are able!

Many are free busses, some are cheap. Some are full but looking to raise enough for another bus.

Full message below:

There have been five wars fought between Israel and its neighbors in the last fifteen years. Over that time, and before, there have been thousands of diplomats from around the world working on a variety of plans to bring peace and stability to the region, and hundreds of conferences. They have all failed.

Today, the situation in the area is more horrific, more brutal, more inhumane, and more dangerous than ever before. I wish I could tell you that I had some magic solution, or five-point plan to resolve this never-ending crisis. I don’t. But this I do know.

The barbarous terrorist act committed by Hamas against innocent men, women, and children in Israel was a horrific act that must be strongly condemned by the entire world. There is absolutely no justification for shooting down hundreds of young people at a music festival, killing babies in cold blood and taking hostages. In my view, the state of Israel has the absolute right to defend itself against Hamas' terrorism.

It is also clear that this attack will only embolden the extremists on both sides who see violence as the only answer. It also creates the immediate possibility of a wider war in the area with unforeseen and dangerous consequences.

But in the midst of the terrorism, the missiles and bombs being exploded daily, and a hospital in Gaza being destroyed, there is another humanitarian disaster that is unfolding. Today, as a result of an Israeli evacuation order, hundreds of thousands of innocent and desperate people in Gaza are facing inhumane and life-threatening conditions. These are people who have been driven from their homes, who have no food, water, or fuel, who don’t know where they are going or who will accept them or if they will ever again return to their homes. And I would remind you that half of those people are children.

Last night, on the floor of the Senate, I blocked an effort on the part of some Republicans to prevent desperately needed humanitarian aid from the United Nations and other relief agencies from getting to these Palestinians.

In these very difficult times, we cannot turn our backs on these innocent men, women and children who are desperately trying to survive. That is not what this country must ever be about.

I hope you'll watch and share it today:
