Jury convicts former Kentucky officer of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor during deadly raid
Hankison fired 10 shots into Taylor’s glass door and windows during the raid, but didn’t hit anyone
I think a lot of folks are interpreting this as Florida directly challenging the authority of the federal government. That’s not what this is - the federal government doesn’t have a role in federal elections. It makes sense if you think about it - the founding fathers decided the temptation to meddle would be too great and limited it in the constitution.

[010/100] #100DaysofHomeLab
Tonight was a simple hardware upgrade. Now my two main #Proxmox nodes are running matching hardware: i7-6700T (4c/8t) with 16GB DDR4.
The little Optiplex "micro" PCs from Dell really are the sweet spot for Homelabs. Small, (relatively) power efficient, easy to work on (upgrade took 15 minutes tonight including a reboot), and pretty cheap these days (especially when you consider the price of Raspberry Pis now).
#selfhosted #homelab #sysadmin
Today's lesson is that #inotify is a Linux 🐧 construct and in BSD land 👹 monitoring the file system is part of #kqueues turf. Oh man there sure are alot of man pages and long docs to read ... or are there. Thank you watchdog (github.com/gorakhargosh/watchd…) and thank you Mickaël Schoentgen and Yesudeep Mangalapilly

Not sure where I first heard of the cult tradition of reading (or re-reading) this book each October, a chapter a day, but I'm glad I discovered it in time to participate in the tradition this October.
With 31 short, entertaining chapters, I found it the perfect accompaniment to my October, especially as a light(er) alternative to The Line of Polity, which I was also reading.

For anyone interested in learning more about the tradition and the book in general, here's an article I stumbled upon (beware, may contain spoilers): lovecraftzine.com/magazine/iss…
It's been a LONG while since I've read Zelazny. Previously, like 20+ years ago, I read some of the Nine Princes of Amber and The Lord of Light, which I remember fondly. Looking forward to returning to these books (and reading more of his work) in the near future.

Harris campaign, Drudge Report melt down, accuse Trump of calling for Liz Cheney's 'execution' (Josh Christenson/New York Post)

Taking money is one thing, but accepting titles of nobility from dodgy Euro monarchists is expressly forbidden by the US constitution unless Congress approves. And yet self-scourging Opus Dei dude Alito could not resist a knighthood.
Utterly shameful behaviour at the US National Archives as anything remotely confronting to white Americans seems to be being purged from the public national record. Whitewashing history is a shockingly regressive step.
To clarify this, we're talking public display and education. As far as I know, they're not removing items from the archives themselves, although if Trump wins that level of cultural vandalism wouldn't surprise me.

Intel reports $16.6B loss in Q3 and gross margin at record low 15% due to massive write-downs. Restructuring & chip production losses raise concerns. While DCAI growth a bright spot, it is overshadowed by overall losses.
