@alexr @ceejbot I&#39;d generally suggest against unpacking tarballs in the root of production (for sufficiently homelab values of &quot;production&quot;) systems. Not that I&#39;ve never done it...

@peternlewis @paddington I was supposed to need an interview to be able to skip all of the lines (TSA PreCheck / Global Entry), but a couple of days ago I just got approved. I assume as a cost cutting measure they&#39;re lowering the bar for skipping the normal security measures.

The joke&#39;s on Trump.

People who say Kilmar Abrego Garcia is innocent until proven guilty but don&#39;t think KSM is innocent until proven guilty (even though we&#39;ve imprisoned him for more than 20 years and still haven&#39;t found enough evidence to bring him to trial) kind of disgust me.
