Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying "just hardcore the IP bro"

It's more like setting a static IP. The UUID is set when you create the partition and won't change unless you force it to change.

You can also use any of the GUI utilities which can add it to your fstab.

There's a lot of things that are made way too difficult on Linux for seemingly no reason. This isn't one of them.

Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he's also an ad.

Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

HamCo?

I see them all the time near 37. You always gotta be careful around them.

It seems like the Mustang EV is selling better nowadays at least. I see just about as many of them on the road compared to Teslas. They at least seem to be pretty good drivers.

I grew up reading and mispronouncing a lot of words. But my family is pretty smart. Both parents are CPAs, one brother is a lawyer, another works in benefits, two sisters are teachers, and I'm a Financial Analyst.

There's no legal distinction, it's only defamation.

Fun fact. At least through the early 1800s, the First Amendment did not protect you from criminal defamation no matter how truthful your words were.

People v Croswell. A reporter, Croswell, discovered that Jefferson was paying a reporter to attack Adams and call Washington a traitor. He wrote an article on it.

Jefferson pressured the NY AG to bring forward charges of defamation. Croswell argued in court that he could not be defaming Jefferson because he had proof the actions occurred. The Court ordered the jury to only base their opinions on whether or not the statements were published. They found him guilty.

He appealed to the NY SC, this time with Hamilton representing him. Hamilton argued that the truth should always be an absolute defense against defamation. After all, it can't be defamation if it's factual. They ruled against him as well.

He appealed to the SCOTUS. Hamilton presented the same arguments: what Croswell wrote were facts, he could prove they were facts, and defamation should only apply to lies. They were split 2-2 which upheld his sentence and de facto prevented truth from applying as a defense to defamation.

While many states enacted laws providing truth as an absolute defense, it wasn't until over a century later that the Constitutional opinion changed and allowed the defense.

It's not uncommon. If a country has a lot of trade with a foreign power or is experiencing uncontrollable inflation, they will often either peg their currencies or make the foreign currency official.

I just accidentally deleted my crontab about an hour ago because r is right next to e.

Fortunately my computer backs itself up often so I could just grab the old crontab but it was annoying and would have been problematic if I didn't.

I also had to recover my computer a few months back because someone whoopsied the default apt repositories for Ubuntu x64 arch and pushed the x86 software there instead.

Your argument was never if fertilized chicken eggs are chickens but if a fertilized chicken egg is meat.

it certainly hasn't been tested in court yet, at least not that I've been able to find.

Arbitration is allowed in an EULA and has been sanctioned by courts.

Most agreements are considered enforceable as long as their content is reasonable, you have been granted sufficient notice to accept or decline the agreement, the agreement is not unconscionable, and it doesn't violate the UCC.

It's usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.

The location usually isn't great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.
