UFO hearings: whistleblower David Grusch says ‘non-human biologics’ found at alleged crash sites – as it happened by sin_free_for_00_days in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.

If a website doesn't want me to see their shit, then I guess i won't see their shit. I already have some sites that don't work because of my aggressive use of lists on my pihole, in addition to the usual browser plugins. If a site doesn't work now, I just move on. I don't give a shit about any site enough to put up with this type of bullshit.

I was so hoping that crap like this, FAFO, and the other weak sauce bullshit wouldn't make it over here. I was stupid for even hoping that.

It would be so great if all these big "social media" companies just went out of business.

John Cusack inside Hollywood: They get away with it because they can by sin_free_for_00_days in c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

In the past, when there was a much higher tax on high income earners, instead of paying more in taxes, they would spread the wealth a little more equitably. This was true in Hollywood, in corporations, hell, in working service industry jobs. There were still rich, but so were others. In the past 40 years, we have been experiencing the greatest wealth transfer (over $50 fucking trillion ) from the working class to the 1% ever. And it's poised to get worse. Anyone who doesn't support unions and a strongly progressive tax is either ignorant of the history of the US, or an asshole. There is no in between.

The first time I was at St Marks Square some Euro dude stripped to his underwear and started sunbathing. Police showed up and told him to put clothes on.

Copying website for offline (lemmy.one)

This is probably not the right place, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've been trying to copy this website so I could have offline access when tooling around the Channel Islands. I could (and probably will), just copy/paste whatever info I need for my little trips, but the fact that I can't copy it ass over is annoying the hell out of me. I've tried variations of wget -r ... as well as httrack with no success. Anyone have any idea how I can get this?

So protesting intolerance is "no better" than promoting intolerance. Got it. Both side, blah blah, or something.

This is good. I used to think that, here in the US, the 1st amendment was a wonderful thing. Watching the anti-science and magat growth based on straight up lies has made me question that belief. As hawkwind says, it's important to know who is deciding if something is fake, but so often if it gets to that point it's like we're missing out on fucking common fucking sense. If someone can't tell that an election wasn't stolen, or that a person isn't a criminal when they admit to crimes, well...fuck 'em.

Media Manager (lemmy.one)

Any idea for what to use as a media manager? I'm getting ready to go on a small trip and I would like to be able to import all my videos/pictures from an SD card and have them filed based on the meta data. At least by date. I've always done this manually and it's not awful, but there has to be a better way.

Using at command (lemmy.one)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one to c/bash@lemmy.ml

A lot of people haven't heard of the at command, and I just figured I'd post up a little bit about it. I use it as a semi-alarm clock type reminder.

Structure of command the way I use it:

echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 'YOUR URGENT MESSAGE'" | at "2pm Jun 18"

I actually wrote a tiny function so that I don't have to remember the -u critical -t 0 part. That is to keep the notification box from timing out. Now tomorrow (June 18th) at 2pm, a message box will pop up with the text "YOUR URGENT MESSAGE".

There are options for running commands (like cron, but you don't have to edit, then delete your edit after running). It is great if you don't want to mess with cron, or another utility for a quick reminder.

My quick little function looks like this:

notify_me ()
{
    if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
        echo 'Usage:  notify_me "message" time/date' 1>&2;
        echo '                   make sure to enclose message in quotes' 1>&2;
        echo "                   also enclose date if it's more than just a time" 1>&2;
        return;
    fi;
    echo "notify-send -u critical -t 0 '$1'" | at "$2"
}

So say I have to remind myself to call the wife when the work day is over. I'll do something like:

notify_me "Check with the ol' ball and chain" "4:45pm"

I'm sure if you wanted to, you could make a very quick zenity (or whatever you like) gui for it, if that's the way you roll. Now I'll get a nice little pop-up 15 minutes before I check out. Tiny little things like this are why I enjoy the command line so much.

For more uses, check out the man page, or the tldr. It's not complicated and I find it useful.
