Finally got them to share a bed together.

A command that I found today for doing parallel rsyncs. I moved 1.6TB between two hosts in about an hour with this:

cd /path/to/data &&

My colleagues at the Center for an Informed Public are written up in Wired for their efforts to combat misinformation about COVID-19. https://www.wired.com/story/professors-call-bullshit-covid-19-misinformation/

Evidence is emerging that coronavirus is a plot by the world's dogs to have their owners at home and walking them more often and longer.

Interesting snippet for doing database dumps that I was not aware of until now: pg_dump -j 8 -Fd -f /path/to/exports dbname

Then you can restore with this: pg_restore -j 8 -Fd -C -d dbname /path/to/exports

I said this in an email last fall and now it is in WTA's February issue on "Trail Work 101".

That time a 13 pound chihuahua trapped a 38 pound beagle in a crate.

I really _want_ to support things like the Emerald Onion but when their IP addresses are being used to attack my IP addresses ... well, it's hard.

Bastards discovered my alternate SSH port. Time to move it around.

Ask not for whom the dog barks. The dog barks for thee.
