Donald Trump: Spends every waking minute of his life being a huge piece of shit to basically everyone he crosses paths with
MAGA: Surprised Pikachu Face "I'm starting to think there's a small chance that Donald Trump might actually not care about me. No that can't be it. He's totally going to follow through on his promise to deliver unicorns and fairy dust any minute now."
Does it count as gossip of we're just gossiping about me the entire session?
Ignorance and hubris are consequences of youth. The fact is that your parents do probably know quite a few things that you don't, if for no other reason than they have more lived experience. That shouldn't necessarily make you feel foolish. Part of growing older is realizing that you possess a microscopic fraction of all the knowledge in the universe. Meaning that most people know things that you don't and you could learn something from them. That's wisdom. Some adults never embrace that, seeing their ignorance as an asset and turning their hubris into blind arrogance. Those people should feel foolish because they are fools. But they probably don't.
I don't agree with every decision my parents made. But in my mid thirties, I do now understand why they are the people they are and why they made some of the decisions they made. They were far from perfect parents. But they did ok, especially in light of the incredibly shitty examples they both had for parents.
Lol. I knew a guy who refused to tag his car because of some sovcit bullshit reasons. He changed his mind real quick after his wife got a ticket for driving without a valid registration.
There's a ticket in the backlog. We'll get to it next sprint (aka never).
Ingen went all "move fast, break things" but with genetically engineered apex predators. Pretty much worked out exactly as expected.
Why try to reach an agreement with someone who is just going to rip it up and throw it in your face in a few years? Backstabbing and broken promises are a byproduct of empires and the US has a long trail of those behind it.
And a guy with an (oddly accurate little) golden gun who also has his own theme song.
Got a shot of this little guy while on a short hike. Taken with a Canon EOS M50.

This Black Walnut is quite old. I didn't have a measuring tape with me but I would guess nearly 150 years. It has marks from a barbed wire fence that was here when this woods was a pasture decades ago.
I have an electric lawnmower that I custom built. After years of reliable service, it needed a complete teardown and rebuild. It's powered by a 2HP induction motor and one of the features I wanted to add to it was an electronic brake. That way the blade stops quickly whenever the dead man switch is released.
Motor brakes already exist but they are very expensive so I figured I would try to roll my own.
DC injection brakes are a common type of motor brake. They basically work by disconnecting the mains power (120VAC in this case) and injecting a pulse of low voltage DC power (24VDC in this case) into the motor windings. This creates a non-rotating magnetic field which stops the rotation of the stator. It has to be powerful enough to stop the motor but without causing damage to it or the driven load.
This is what I came up with. The dead man switch cable pulls the primary switch. Primary switch closes the primary relay, delivering 24VAC to the contactor and turning the motor on.
When the dead man switch is released, the primary relay shunts power to the timed relay(white), momentarily backfeeding 24VDC to the motor and causing it to stop. It actually works well.
There is a small risk that if the contactor were to stick, it would let the smoke out. But, the rectifier and transformer would take the brunt of that failure and as cheap as those are to replace, that's an acceptable risk.

My advice is avoid tape backups. The cost, risk of media degredation, and management overhead make them not worth it, especially for a homelab.
Also, restoring an entire VM is almost easier than recovering a single file, just because of the sequential nature of reading data from a tape. Data recoveries are pretty slow in general.
I backup to an external hard drive with regular copies to iDrive S3. Been doing it that way for a number of years with no problems.
