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

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

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.

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.

Hi there! Connections Museum volunteer here. We're on good terms with our landlords (CenturyLink). While we are 100% volunteer run, we also are part of an independent non-profit, the Telecommunications History Group.

We've been keeping busy during quarantine, working on all kinds of restoration projects, and look forward to being able to give tours when that's safe again. For now you'll have to get by with our youtube channel.

And our power draw is more in the neighborhood of 200A than 1000A :) With respect to moving, the greater challenges are that everything is hard-wired together (not connectorized) and we'd need a space with 13+ foot ceilings that allows high floor loading.

They serve everything in-house and are their own AS; this allows them to provide stronger guarantees of reader privacy than sites that use a CDN.
