_House Republicans Accidentally Released a Trove of Damning Covid Documents
New documents show a scientist calling a lab leak “highly likely” — after drafting a paper claiming the opposite._

Portioned out some raw meat for the dog, we usually buy it as frozen meatballs, but they have bigger frozen sauages of raw meat that you can buy, more meat for less price. So decided to go for that now, so got my axe and made it into daily portions.

@movq Fuck me, this is brilliant! <3 What a truly amazing shot! Really awesome, mate! :-) Yeah, they are giant. Haven't seen one in person from up close, only a hand full in the very, very distance.

I can hear tawny owls every now and then, at least I was told that this is the specific hooting of them. Only half a year ago I actually got to see one of them for the first time taking off a tree.

That reminds me of a funny story last month: I was working with doors and windows open in the morning and I thought several times, I received an incoming call. But I couldn't see anything of that sort. The headset was laying on the desk and it was ringing very quietly. Took me a few seconds to realize that this was the call of an owl. :-D I hadn't realized before that the ringtone must have been modelled after an owl call. :-)
Yesterday, laundry got spontaneously rained on quite heavily. But hey, we got rain, that's great. Even three thunderstorms went by.

Today, it was cloudy and after lunch I had a two to three hours long nap. After getting up again the sun was out, too, so I decided to only go for a walk in the evening. At 20:00 it was still very muggy. But it was good to be outdoors again. Didn't see too many animals, they probably didn't like the heat either.

Bumblebee

If you look closely in 09 and 10, there are two raptorial birds that were hooting in the distance. I couldn't see the one in 09, just heard him and then saw something light falling down the tree, so I just made a bunch of photos on the off chance. I'm not 100% positive, it was already too dark when I returned, but I might have seen a racoon just a couple of meters ahead of me running out of a hedge and climbing up the allotment gardener fence right quick in a hurry.
@movq Very cool! Amazing animal!

Just compiled the Yarn desktop client on OpenSuse, was no issues getting it to run there, I love how portable it is. I initially wanted to run OpenBSD on this laptop, but it would not detect wifi, which is a dealbreaker for me, so I installed OpenSuse tumbleweed instead, and will run OpenBSD in a VM and try from there instead.
Saw a real Eurasian Eagle-Owl today, for the first time. I knew that they are “large”, but I wasn’t aware just how big they are. Absolutely massive. 😅

(Since I’m an idiot, I only took photos with full zoom – so you can’t tell their size. 🤦)

Woohoo 🥳 Finally fixed the remaining bugs in my set of shell scripts for backing up Docker volumes:

https://git.mills.io/prologic/backup-docker-volumes

Has the behavior of:

- Given a Docker node;
- Find all active volumes.
- For each volume, find its running container or service,
- Stop the Container or scale down the Service.
- Run the backup on the volume
- Restart the Container or scale up the Service.

One of my main problems/blockers I think is that I use my Mac Studio as my primary backup target (_from my NAS and Docker volumes_), then I use Backblaze B2 as my secondary target from there. So my backup process is 2-step with two targets (_a local target and a remote target_). What I really need is another secondary smaller NAS that I can just host the tools on more permanently, hmmm.

I need to fully automate my backup/recovery process. I use restic as my primary backup/recovery tool and documented a process for Docker volume backup and restore with restic which I also use to backup Docker local volumes (_unfortuantely requires small amounts of downtime per service_) -- There is also this nice tool called auto-restic which I haven't gotten around to using yet, which I _thinik_ will help with automating. Right now I still kick the process of by-hand, whenever I feel I should probably do another backup 🤦‍♂️

Of all the jobs under threat by AI/ML, IMO artistic/creative jobs need to be protected at all costs. Why? It's what makes us human and makes things interesting. Without creativity I worry we'll just end up worse off.

So in the wave of all things AI and this roller coaster we're all on, apparently actors, writers and so on are all on strike. I don't recall seeing anything in my feeds about this, so I had to ask a few folk in real life wtf was going on there...

Turns out they're all on strike because they fear that AI/ML models will take over their jobs. There are numerous cases where "tech" has already replaced an actor, now it will just get much easier to do.

@stigatle @prologic seconded, that would definitely be nice
