My favorite French borrowings are gentle, genteel and jaunty. All borrowed from gentil (kind, pleasant, nice), but at different times (13th century, late 16th, and 17th, respectively).

The French word is from Latin gentilis, meaning "of the Roman clan." English borrowed that from Latin as gentile.

So we have 4 English words, all from the same Latin origin. Of them, genteel is probably closest to the Old French pronunciation (but the vowels are still a little bit different).

We are on Fidelity. But self-directed on all the big ones are no fee and free trades these days - Vanguard, Fidelity, Merrill and probably others. Just need to watch the fund/ETF fees to have a total cost.

Interesting. I wonder if they vary the cut based on what else is trendy at the time. Or by region.

Edit: yeah, I see your latest. Not surprised tbh.

If you're buying new cameras they'll be 802.3af PoE. Passive is becoming much less common. So that model router I linked would work great.

I think if you're a moderately technically inclined person you would be happy with that solution. If you are intimidated at the idea of writing or adapting some scripts, I would probably recommend a router on one of the other platforms plus a PoE switch.

Ha! I was looking and didn't find him at first.

Kinda biased with only field players though. What about Schmeichel? Or Becker, who scored a winning goal? Or Tim Howard - a double threat with 1 goal and 3 assists. They should have some dots down near the intersection of x and y! 😂

I will gladly die on this hill.

Obviously! Well done. Your definition is delusional and at odds with science and common language use, yet you won't back down. That takes commitment. It also has me questioning whether you believe in light outside human perception (since it's also measured as a wave). You are the embodiment of this fun thread! And I genuinely enjoy thinking about both positions.

But I think I'll stick with the Wikipedia and dictionary editors, and the likes of Britannica which states:

Sound, a mechanical disturbance from a state of equilibrium that propagates through an elastic material medium. A purely subjective definition of sound is also possible, as that which is perceived by the ear, but such a definition is not particularly illuminating and is unduly restrictive, for it is useful to speak of sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear, such as those that are produced by dog whistles or by sonar equipment.

No, I mean I got 43 results on a Google search for the first quoted phrase, and 3.1M for the second quoted phrase. That's two separate G searches. I was not looking for documents with both phrases.

So. Much.

Wasted

Space

Copy on write is the difference. As I understand it, a btrfs snapshot takes no space when it's created (beyond the file system record). The filesystem is always writing changes to file chunks as a new copy of the chunk, which is then recorded as a replacement of the old chunk (which is still present on-disk). So a snapshot tracks all of these later changes, and the file system keeps the old file chunks preserved as long as you keep the snapshot. That's why you can mount a btrfs snapshot. It just shows you the volume through the lens of all of these saved changes.

When you delete a snapshot you are then marking these preserved chunks as free space. So that is also quick.

Monit for simple stuff and daemon restart on failure. LibreNMS for SNMP polling, graphing, logging, & alerting.

Newegg is unfortunately not as good a source as in years past. I have two good friends who got burned by them with very suspicious defective product return problems. When it happened I read about many more similar complaints.
