@socialbc.ca@SarahFrumento @emilylowan.bsky.social wow. that is a really impressive impressive endorsement! good on her, and svend
@davidmoscrop.comReposted by @socialbc.caThis is insane, anti-literary, book banning, barbarous behaviour from the UK.
It’s an utterly Orwellian, oppressive state attack on free speech and thought.
@socialbc.ca@EdwinG I am *so glad* I didn’t lose any data, especially anything from the weather archive. I treasure that continuous 21yr record!
@ilumium.eupolicy.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @socialbc.caI'm sitting in one of the fullest European Parliament hearings I've ever seen: it's about the infamous proposed Cloud and #AI Development Act #CADA and it's a huge "we need to build build build #datacentres", #gigafactories and farring #unicorns. And I'm like 😭
Let's see if I get speaking time. :)
@socialbc.ca@EdwinG perhaps not. Though the database itself was moved to my host in Montreal… so it could be that if I had a new SSD in the iMac the rest of Mastodon could go on forever. The only thing it’s writing now is media files (and that might get moved to a cloud at some point too). But it seems this […]
@socialbc.ca#footiMac finally got a proper fsck run on the her SSD. It's not full, but has LOTS of errors.
It is bootable but not functional so it is running off a tiny linux USB stick. Enough to get it connected to the network so I can start pulling data off and moving […]
@socialbc.ca@jfmezei ext4. So Mac’s can’t read or write natively. That said, tonight I managed to run a fun disk repair so the Linux partition is booting but it is not network accessible when it does, so for now I am using a Linux tiny install as a go between. I’ll start removing weather and timelapse files […]
@socialbc.ca@harold it’s:
FUCK YOU
eh
@edwiebe.scribili.masto.host.ap.brid.gyReposted by @socialbc.caIt’s the drivers. Drivers kill and injure people every day.
@socialbc.ca@socialbc.ca@EdwinG @[email protected] ya, its a boot manager called rEFInd
very useful for us Mac folks who like to dabble in other OS'es but also a bit of a chore just due to the nature of EFI
https://rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html
@socialbc.caboot loader activated!
I think we are in business.
I can take #footiMac back home now and hopefully @[email protected]
will be online again tonight. And most importantly @alberniweather and @AlberniweatherBot will be getting live data again!
Phew! That was a tough nut to crack.
@socialbc.caThis is clearly the “we accuse you of doing what we’re doing” play, now applied to USA and Canada relations. Their fingerprints are all over the Alberta Separatist referendum, going so far as to try to sell out our own resources… The USA acts more like Russia every single day. Meanwhile […]
@socialbc.caYES! #footiMac is alive again! Installing onto a USB stick hopefully so that I can then boot into it and manage the boot loader again!
that was... hard... dealing with EFI and GRUB issues aint fun.
@socialbc.caFeeling like I am so close… #footiMac
@jfmezei.cosocial.ca.ap.brid.gyReposted by @socialbc.ca@chris Thrown out of office? A president aiding Russia against the west and profiting from it would be accused of treason and given dealth penalty.
@socialbc.ca@jfmezei indeed
@socialbc.caImagine on any day between 1945 and 2015 if you told Americans, including their leaders, that their country would actively, militarily, support Russia against a European country. Imagine the indignation as they insisted this could never happen because Russia was… Russia. Imagine how they would […]
@socialbc.caHappy to see my letter published in the AVNews this week immediately before the election. I have noticed over the past few years that more and more local governments have their regular public meetings in the day. This renders them essentially un-attendable by the working public, so there is no […]
@socialbc.caoh yes! we have access to the #footiMac linux volume through big brother,
refind, and a debian install rescue image
