    I mean, it can be effective. It works for the GOP: you basically can’t get elected as a Republican if you’re not anti-abortion or if you want to raise taxes, and thanks to those purity tests, every time they get in power they take steps towards those goals.

    With the ‘big tent’ Democrats all you get is basically a small rollback on the worst excesses of the previous Republican president (to the point where you really can’t call them ‘left’ in any serious way).


  • Looks like a bug in the forum software. If it’s open source, look through their GitHub (or whatever) issues to see if it’s a known bug and see if anyone’s working on fixing it. Then wait for them to update their forum software and try again.

    Edit: actually, this error indicates they’re not using parameter binding to build queries and aren’t even properly escaping input. Assume the database is already compromised and don’t sign up or post on this forum. Whomever is running it doesn’t know what they’re doing.

    If you already signed up and you used a password that you use anywhere else, change it on any other websites that share the same password.





  • Have you considered only backing up the data you can’t replace relatively easily? I would look into a strategy of periodically backing up the list of media in a format that can easily be imported into Radarr or whichever system you used to acquire them. Sure, if the worst happens it’ll take forever to redownload, but you can just prioritise the things you want to watch right now while everything’s rebuilding in the background.

    Definitely do back up photos, documents and your home directory (excluding stuff like a steam library), but hopefully you should be able to fit all that on a NAS or external HD.

    Yep, their business model is basically to sell smaller packages for a low upfront price, taking advantage of customers that either don’t have the money to buy the big package or have limited transport options.

    It’s another one of those things that illustrate that it’s expensive to be poor.



  • And if you have this use case, why wouldn’t you want everyone that commutes 50km/day or whatever in their Camry to use an electric car instead? That just means cheaper petrol for you, and less of a line at the petrol station to boot. Imagine how cheap it would be if we could go back to only needing to use the oil that basically bubbles up from the desert floor by itself instead of spending millions sifting oil out of tar sands up in Canada.
