Rsync also doesn't track hardlinks by default! I use "-avPzHAXS" for my backups.


Also have a look at --numeric-ids, otherwise it translates UIDs back and forth according to real user names - which will end up in a terrible mess, especially when you are restoring the backup from a live "CD" (which has different UID ←→ username mapping than the target system).


I use getfacl to save permissions correctly, in case the backup server uses different user/group mappings. And setfacl after restoring.

(I wish this was handled by rsync.)


The rack unit's dimensions are inherited from manual telephone switchboard jack-and-lamp panels ... and the standard rack is approximately 100 years old. https://archive.org/details/bstj2-3-112

If "hella" is 10^27 then clearly "hecka" would be the correct name for 10^-27.


You’d better add that to the proposal!


One hundred percent of the time when I've clicked that button, it says "XYZCorp is advertising to people located in the United States", even when the ad is clearly more targeted than that.


So, assuming that this is FB or Goog, then that makes sense. FB certainly encourage advertisers to use broad targeting with conversion optimisation.

This means that the audience is 18+ living in USA, but the combination of the targeting plus the optimisation (click and conversion prediction, mostly) means that it seems much more targeted than it is.


Ah, I wish it was better than that.


Yeah, it's feet measured east and north of an arbitrary point southwest of everything in the state. There is an actual point inside the state used as a base but they set up a false easting and false northing by subtracting a large round number such that the origin of the coordinate system is southwest of everything in the state. A lot of things in surveying are designed such that the math is easier for people working in the field to reliably get correct.
