Unvaccinated Hamilton child died from measles infection in c/hamilton@lemmy.ca
[–] nixx@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If it was just their own health that is being impacted, I would have ignored it, but the fact that unvaccinated people are dangerous to society is what make me mad. I had a discussion with someone who insisted it is their right, and that the guberment have no business insisting that they get the vaccine while working for the federals. Trying to explain that you can either abide by society's rules or "leave" didn't get me anywhere, it's like those people believe that society exists to serve only them and not the other way around.

Humanity is doomed. And I really really fear for my kids and their kids, IFF my kids can afford to have children of their own.

Can we just leave this planet already?

Is there a legal precedent for this?

Project 2025 aims to eliminate the US Forest Service (USFS) powers to prevent forest fires and to increase logging on Federal lands which makes sense because it's trees that are the problem in c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world

I hate that my brain rambling are that close to ChatGPT’s output.

You are all missing the point.

Trees are not a "problem", but rather an untapped resource.

I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can't have those without forests in the first place.

To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense

Creating a local VMwae software mirror using aac-lib/vsm (lemmy.ca)
 

I needed to have a local mirror of VMware software, and logging into my.vmware.com, downloading, and then uploading was becoming tiresome.

I tried the VMware software solution, but:

  1. Windows only
  2. Borke all the time.

Then I found this:

Texiwill/aac-lib

It needs several packages pre-installed, but it mostly takes care of everything, as of now, it is running on a CentOS machine, the following script is running via cron daily, you will need to git pull acc-lib first.

#!/bin/bash
#
_USERNAME="my vmware account"
_PASSWORD="my vmware password"

cd ~aac-lib/vms
git pull

for _REPO in $(cat ~/vmware-repos.txt) 
do
  ./vsm.sh -c -y -nc --symlink --fav $_REPO -u $_USERNAME -p $_PASSWORD
done

Content of the vmware-repos.txt are similar to this, if you run vsm.sh you will understand the naming convention

Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_Tools_12_x_VMware_Tools
Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_vSphere_8_0_Enterprise_Plus
Infrastructure_Operations_Management_VMware_vRealize_Log_Insight_8_8

And here is a sample .vsmrc to get you started, I put everything in /data, which is a separate partition of about 4TB at the moment:

repo='/data/vmware-content'
cdir='/data/vmwarevsmxml'
symlink=1

I then export the vmware-content directory via a web server, just a nginx with FancyIndexing enabled, and also via NFS and FTP.

If you need more details, ask away.

I have been using this for a couple of years now, it rarely fails me.
