MAGA bros are freaking out because so many women are voting
  • More stochastic terrorism from Team Trump. They are whipping their troglodyte followers into a frenzy in the hopes that enough of them will use the threat of domestic violence to prevent their female partners from going to the polls. It wouldn’t be crazy to bet that at least one woman will die from this. It’s fucking despicable.

    McDonald's Donald Trump worked at failed last health inspection
  • That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn't going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.

    Trump Breaks Down Onstage | At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored—and weirdness ensued.
  • the team will 25th his ass

    That’s what they should do in that situation, but in reality, there’s no chance. The bar is too high.

    From the 25th Amendment:

    Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

    Trump would have a cabinet full of true believers and yes-men. There’s no way that more than half would be on board to jettison him. The Congressional cure is also a non-starter. If Trump were to win, there would probably also be a Republican-controlled Congress, and we all know that Congressional Republicans have zero spine when it comes to standing up to daddy.

    Damning video shows Roger Stone is plotting a coup for November
  • Watching that video, Stone is either in the midst of a mental health crisis or has had a generous helping of Bolivian marching powder. Either way, what a weirdo.

  • It’s not that bad. A traditional yogurt-making practice is to put a couple ants into some milk. The microorganisms and enzymes that the ants introduce helps kick off the fermentation of the milk, turning it into yogurt.

    Survey: 73% of Amazon workers are considering quitting after 5-day in-office mandate
  • It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The fact is that many Amazon employees can make 25-50% more, with better work-life balance, better benefits, a less toxic environment, and the ability to work from home.

    Source: former Amazon employee who got out a few years ago.

    Large Majority of Americans Want to End Electoral College
  • I feel like it would be more realistic to repeal the Apportionment Act of 1911. At the very least, it would correct the massive inequality in congressional apportionment. It would also increase the number of electors in the largest states, which would mostly benefit democrats.

  • Yes, it’s a reference to George Papadapolous, a national security adviser to Trump who had extensive contact with the Russians, including working on setting up meetings between Trump and Putin. He was then caught lying to the FBI about these contacts. When the news came out, Trump dismissed his one-time advisor as a “low-level coffee boy.”

  • This Topton-brand mini-ITX motherboard on AliExpress seems like a pretty decent choice for an Opnsense/Pfsense-based home router setup. It has four Intel 2.5gbe ports, an integrated 10W TDP CPU, and way more storage options than necessary for my use case.

    However, I’m leery of just about everything from AliExpress. In this case, I assume security is probably a distant consideration after function and price point.

    Am I being overly paranoid? Are products like this riddled with back doors and other exploitable components? Has anyone else out there built a router using this board?

    Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx--x---.

    I'm hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.
