Linux people, any idea what to do if a (external hdd) drive says it's not S.M.A.R.T capable but you know for a fact that it is?

(I used smartctl)

I have a coconspirator, who has done the deed.

Let's see if it works.

Bee orchids used to grow at our old work yard. Many other wildflowers too.

The new commercial tenants cut the grass short all year round though.

I have no authority over any of this, but I'm going to try and put it right.

IT WORKED!

Hey folks, there has been a fair bit of discussion this week regarding what the community expects from data dumps, and I've realised that obfuscating WiFi AP identifiers may actually be interfering with what the community wants: portable, open data - not some restrictive binary blob.

How would people feel if AP MAC+SSIDs were plaintext in the dumps, instead of obfuscated like originally planned? If an AP moved, it would still be blocked from the database for at least a year to prevent tracking.

Man, I fucking hate LinkedIn.

It feels even more performative and inauthentic than most social media which is a staggering achievement. Maybe I'm just not on other social media anymore.

The only good thing I've ever seen on LinkedIn is @vilmibm's profile which is damned art:

For anyone else excitedly reading news about the plan to abolish leasehold, and being puzzled by the complete lack of links to the actual commonhold whitepaper all the articles are talking about: I got you.

This is the commonhold whitepaper that was just published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/commonhold-white-paper/commonhold-white-paper-the-proposed-new-commonhold-model-for-homeownership-in-england-and-wales

your outie is terminally eepy

R.I.P. James Harrison, Australian hero, whose blood contained a rare antibody used to create medication to protect babies from a rare blood disorder. Having the antibody was just luck. What made him a hero was donating plasma every two weeks without missing one appointment for 60+ years. There's power in just reliably showing up for other people who need what only you can give them.

Hello! We thought we'd freshen up our introduction!

Every day women have, and are, making history. ​We're a project that posts every day with what women did #OnThisDay. We're all about highlighting #WomenInHistory.

Women in history are, just like men, complex. Sometimes a woman who has achieved something amazing was not a nice person.

Follow us to find out what happened on this day, and carve her name.

I have a meeting planned with the head of my department to voice my concerns about using Google Cloud.

I have two points that I would like to make:
* Ideological, about whether we should sponsor Google, which was so quick to step in line with Trump and Elon
* Operational, about the risk we take by relying on a platform that is easily weaponized in a trade conflict

Are there more arguments to be made against US cloud that could be compelling?
