To delete data, plus the backups, took quite a substantial, organized effort with the complicity with a lot of people having high level IT access 🤔

We've seen this in the Lerner/IRS case and from Hillary.

High time this kind of criminal activity is punished appropriately!

So the #FDA has lowered its #labor expenses only to jack-up their #OpEx instead.

In no universe is a #contractor less expensive than a #FTE.

FDA to replace laid-off employees with contractors, sources say

Steep cuts to the agency's workforce had disrupted drug and food safety inspections.

I was thinking that too but then DOGE just cancelled a bunch of Accenture contracts for actual contractors helping out some of the agencies.

I think it's so they can accurately say they've lowered their labor expenses at the {cough} expense {cough} of increasing their operational expenses.

But even that doesn't make sense now that I think about it.

Adolf said DOGE was going to cut out government waste and expenditures and rehiring all the people you laid off as contractors is directly counter to that.

Eh...

Who knows.

On the topic of 2FA (2nd factor authentication), I really do need to find an alternative that:

1) Is cloud based sync service, but can also run locally
2) Does not require you to set up on your own server
3) Can be used on multiple devices
4) Is not limited to specific hardware.
5) Can export and import if needed.
6) Outside Us Jurisdiction

If I seem to be repeating my requirements, it is because there are so many unhelpful people, who believe they are being helpful, by ignoring all those requirements. - I said, what I said.

Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong

Hi All,

As some of you may have realised, the planned upgrade sort of crashed everything, and we had our longest period of downtime since the site began.

This is partly because I had to go to sleep (thanks to a newborn and a job).

The good news is that the backup process worked! We've restored to seconds before the upgrade took the site offline.

The bad news is that federation is likely to be.. wonky.. for a little while. The site may also go up and down while I undo some of the fixes I tried.

Ultimately the issue came down to the upgrade failing (I am not sure why - will be digging into this now the priority is no longer getting the site up) and then the containers not talking to eachother, so the UI wouldn't talk to lemmy, and lemmy wouldn't talk to the database.

I rebuilt the containers, restored the backup, restarted everything, and it's all come back up (admittedly not perfect right now).

Importantly, I want to issue an apology. This isn't what I want for Lemmy.zip, and it should've been handled way better by myself. I'm always learning but this took way longer than it should've, and while I take some solace in the fact the backup process worked and has been proven to work in production, the delay in being able to get this back up is entirely my fault and frankly unacceptable.

I'll be working to document this outage, the steps it took to get it back up, and some form of repeatable plan so a repair can be replicated in the future if I'm not available.

In terms of upgrading to 0.19.11 - I will have to try again soon as it's got some security fixes we desperately need to implement.

Thanks

Demigodrick

Peruvians are very proud of their hats. They wear hats shaped like different geographical features. It's less true in modern times, but you used to be able to tell where a Peruvian was born based on the type of hat they wore.

I think I spent $80 US on that hat which is probably more than the locals in that part of Lima make in a weak.

It was a really good hat. I miss it.

The real story with the fake Dire Wolf de-extinction story is how gullible and unreliable American science news reporting is. Even the biggest news organizations had no one capable of stopping them from publishing a dishonest PR release from a dubious company trying to game the news cycle for some unearned publicity. This is what happens when you fire all your actual science news reporters.

‼️ WARNUNG – Die Uhr tickt: Fristen für WHO-Vertrag & IGV laufen ab!


Während wir mit Kriegen, Krisen und Chaos beschäftigt werden, stehen im Hintergrund zwei Entscheidungen an, die unsere Freiheit massiv verändern könnten:

  1. Pandemievertrag der WHO:
    Wird vom 19. bis 27. Mai 2025 auf der WHO-Versammlung (WHA) verabschiedet.
    Er tritt nur in Kraft, wenn der Bundestag aktiv zustimmt.
  2. Internationale Gesundheitsvorschriften (IGV):
    Treten automatisch in Kraft, wenn Deutschland nicht bis zum 19. Juli 2025 aktiv widerspricht.
    Ohne Widerspruch – volle Zustimmung. Ganz einfach.

Wird es wieder so laufen wie immer?
Alle schauen weg. Medien schweigen. Bürger sind mit allem anderen beschäftigt.
Und am Ende heißt es: „Jetzt ist es zu spät.“

Nicht diesmal.
Teilt diese Info.
Sprecht es an.

As someone who has been doing residential moving work for over a decade, I have worked for many clients who were gay couples, and many clients who were lesbian couples.

The pattern I have noticed is that gay couples have clean homes and tend to be fairly organized on moving.

By contrast, lesbians are absolutely disgusting, filthy animals. I got sticky mystery slime on my hands twice yesterday from moving couches and desks owned by lesbians. Seriously, what the funk?

I'm charging lesbians extra $$ from now on.

Altered States Planning to travel to Donald Trump’s It America? Think twice. You are neither a wanted nor welcome. On March 11, after a 24-hour flight from Sydney via Hong Kong and New York’s JFK Airport, with my final destination being Miami to board a cruise, I was detained by border control at JFK for “enhanced vetting” as per the executive directive signed by the US president on January 25. Eight hours later, after three interview teams and extensive examination of my laptop and iPhone, they decided I'd come on an unusual route to the US, namely from Australia via Asia (I flew premium economy and Cathay Pacific had the cheapest airfare).

Alle sozialen Errungenschaften der Menschen werden zielgerichtet zerstört – nicht weil das Geld fehlt, sondern weil es profitabler ist. Während Reiche reicher werden, verrotten Krankenhäuser, verarmen Rentner und verfallen Existenzen. Das ist kein Kollaps – das ist Kalkül.

What Happens When a Trump Voter Defects from MAGA?


#politics #USA

It turns out that Harris’ horrible campaign strategy was by design! According to the post-election book Fight, Biden didn’t want Harris to differentiate her vision for the future from his unpopular leadership. His precious ego was more important than keeping Trump out of the White House. “Remember kid,” Biden allegedly told Harris right before her debate against Trump, “no daylight between us.” She listened. She lost.

krqe.com/news/crime/officials-…

While #APD is getting ready to bring the #NationalGuard to Central, the Bernalillo County #DistrictAttorney and sheriff have already spent two months cracking down in the same area under a special operation. The district attorney says their operation has already led to around 400 #arrests.
Sheriff John Allen says that so far, they have no plans to use the guard’s help in their current #Operation #Route66. “We’re going to stay on our lane. I mean, could it happen? Maybe. The national guard, they’re in a PSA role. I didn’t request a national guard, so not to be rude, I don’t need them. I mean, that’s something the Albuquerque Police Department asked for. We’re going to continue the mission and everything that we’ve been doing as the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, and we’ll continue doing so,” said Allen.
