Not American, and couldn’t find a non-partisan resource, but here goes:

https://democrats.org/civic-engagement-and-voter-protection/

Our voter hotline exists to answer questions that cannot be easily answered online. The hotline is monitored by DNC employees who are prepared to field questions pertaining to felon disenfranchisement, voter purging, poll worker misconduct, voter machines, and accessibility. The hotline regularly operates on weekdays from 9:00am-6:00pm EST/EDT, and expands to both weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-9:00pm EST/EDT starting in October during election years.

Based on your .nl, I will assume you are tall, ride a bike everywhere, and love cheese. But I’m sure some yank will find something offensive to call you. Just be patient.

So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???

We just can’t win.

I hate that my brain rambling are that close to ChatGPT’s output.

You are all missing the point.

Trees are not a "problem", but rather an untapped resource.

I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can't have those without forests in the first place.

To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense

I would love to see a write up on what was done. PostgeSQL is my favourite system and I would like to know more.

It’s a meme from the show Arrested Development

About a million years ago, back in 2007/2008 that is, there was this small company called Hexago that did R&D in IPv6 networking, they were behind the Frenet6 project and created the networking stack and the TSP client that would let you tunnel a /56 IPv6 network over a dynamic IPv4 connection.

One the projects was a tiny hardware router, I honestly forget who made it, but Hexago would buy them, then we would flash each one with WRT+TSP client custom image, the idea was you plug this in your network and you have IPv6 connection in your network without doing any magic configuration.

It worked well until we lost finding.

So yeah, OpenWRT is old and not just for Linksys routers :)

Try 35 years

Somehow I’m a “Unix Wizard” because I know how to read log files?

Oh, and now I’m DevOps because I pythoned my way out of wet paper bag.

 

I needed to have a local mirror of VMware software, and logging into my.vmware.com, downloading, and then uploading was becoming tiresome.

I tried the VMware software solution, but:

  1. Windows only
  2. Borke all the time.

Then I found this:

Texiwill/aac-lib

It needs several packages pre-installed, but it mostly takes care of everything, as of now, it is running on a CentOS machine, the following script is running via cron daily, you will need to git pull acc-lib first.

#!/bin/bash
#
_USERNAME="my vmware account"
_PASSWORD="my vmware password"

cd ~aac-lib/vms
git pull

for _REPO in $(cat ~/vmware-repos.txt) 
do
  ./vsm.sh -c -y -nc --symlink --fav $_REPO -u $_USERNAME -p $_PASSWORD
done

Content of the vmware-repos.txt are similar to this, if you run vsm.sh you will understand the naming convention

Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_Tools_12_x_VMware_Tools
Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_vSphere_8_0_Enterprise_Plus
Infrastructure_Operations_Management_VMware_vRealize_Log_Insight_8_8

And here is a sample .vsmrc to get you started, I put everything in /data, which is a separate partition of about 4TB at the moment:

repo='/data/vmware-content'
cdir='/data/vmwarevsmxml'
symlink=1

I then export the vmware-content directory via a web server, just a nginx with FancyIndexing enabled, and also via NFS and FTP.

If you need more details, ask away.

I have been using this for a couple of years now, it rarely fails me.

 

Hi

App looks good.

Trying to login to lemmy.ca but the submit button does nothing

Not sure what info is needed

Hi,

ExVMW here, just creating this as a place holder in case it is needed

I will be happy to hand it over to any mods from r/vmware
