Bold of you to assume people/companies test backups more than once.

Case in point: I once got instructed to "enable EBS snapshots" for customer deployments to meet a new backup requirement. Disaster recovery was a completely different feature we only kind of got to a couple years later and afaik, remains manual to this day.

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.

“We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.

As another commenter pointed out, the current issue is due to the docker-desktop package being maintained outside the normal channels (AUR) and not getting updated when one of its dependencies moves forward (qemu). CachyOS seems to be letting you install from AUR as part of your normal pacman process and it's going to lead non-experts into situations like this. I separate my installs from AUR and system packages for this reason (among others).

Your choice is:

  • just wait for the person who maintains the docker-desktop package to update it
  • remove the docker-desktop package and update normally
  • potentially break things by temporarily ignoring the docker-desktop package so you can update normally.

Honestly, I'd personally advocate for tossing docker entirely and migrating to podman which has its own podman-desktop GUI. Since it is maintained by red hat, you'll always have the latest and greatest without weird issues.

Beyond that, I'd say uninstall this package and install docker without the desktop GUI according to the guide.

⚠️ NOTE: Docker Desktop is not supported, you will run into issues if you use it

That's from the winboat GitHub page.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to do though.

As an inveterate imbiber, even a fifth (750ml) of mild spirits (80pf/40%abv) in 15 minutes will get anyone in trouble.

He quit walking the line and dove head first over it.

Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They're creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

Heck, now I'd like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?

Shot in the dark, but maybe !bayarea@lemmy.world has someone more knowledgeable about that vicinity.

Best bet is probably craft cocktail bars.

Just start bar hopping and have a shot of Fernet if they don't have malort. That's the delicacy we're known for anyway.

Oof, I'm a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!

I'm always down for shots of malort.

 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
