A group of former national park superintendents is calling on the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors in case of a government shutdown.
Past shutdowns in which parks remained open led to vandalism of iconic symbols, destroyed wildlife habitat and endangered visitors,
40 former superintendents said in a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
A shutdown now could be even worse as parks are already under strain from a 24% reduction in staff and severe budget cuts,
the former park officials said in their letter Thursday.
A secretarial order by Burgum directing parks to remain open has led parks to neglect trash collection and other routine maintenance work, the ex-officials said.

Anarchism isn't about replacing one government with a 'good' government; this sounds obvious but the way I've seen some 'anarchists' talk on here... Some of ya'll need to shut up and actually read some anarchist theory for one, tumblr cannot be your one source on things like political ideologies.

How Many Phones Sport a 5 and 1/4 Diskette Drive? This One.
It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone.
The argument started over UNIX file directories, in a post about Redox OS on smartphones— which was a [Paul Sanja] hack as well. [Paul] had everything he needed to pick up the gauntlet, and evidently did so promptly. The drive is a classic Commodore 1541, which means you’ll want to watch the demo video at 2x speed or better. (If you thought loading times felt slow in the old days, they’re positively glacial by modern standards.) The old floppy drive is plugged into a Google Pixel 3 running Postmarket OS. Sure, you could do this on Android, but a fully open Linux system is obviously the hacker’s choice. As a bonus, it makes the whole endeavor almost trivial.
Between the seven-year-old phone and the forty-year-old disk drive is an Arduino Pro Micro, configured with the XUM1541 firmware by [OpenBCM] to act as a translator. On the phone, the VICE emulator pretends to be a C64, and successfully loads Impossible Mission from an original disk. Arguably, the phone doesn’t “sport” the disk drive–if anything, it’s the other way around, given the size difference–but we think [Paul Sanja] has proven the point regardless. Bravo, [Paul].
Thanks to [Joseph Eoff], who accidentally issued the challenge and submitted the tip. If you’ve vexed someone into hacking (or been so vexed yourself), don’t hesitate to drop us a line!
We wish more people would try hacking their way through disagreements. It really, really beats a flame war.

@Sarotar напомнил мне о ветках из головы вместо оленьих рогов, поэтому в глубине ночи (пока никто не видит, о-хо-хо) держите скетчи одного из изначальных дизайнов моей оленьей персоны.
Да, у нее и правда скорее ветки из головы.
Да, ветки эволюционировали в рога, но когда и почему это произошло, я уже не помню.
На рисунке изображены две девушки, выполненные карандашом на белой бумаге. Передняя девушка имеет длинные косы, разделенные на несколько прядей, и на голове у нее рога, напоминающие рога оленя. Она закрыла глаза и улыбается, положив голову на плечо второй девушки. Вторая девушка стоит позади, ее волосы также длинные и разделены на косы, и у нее на голове рога, похожие на уши зайца. Она держит в руках круглый щит с витиеватым узором. Обе девушки выглядят спокойными и умиротворенными. В правом верхнем углу рисунка написано "Thank you" (спасибо).
―
На изображении представлены две рисунки, выполненные карандашом на белой бумаге. Обе изображения изображают девушек с рогами оленя на голове, что придает им фантастический вид. Левая рисунок показывает девушку с плечами, одетую в облегающую блузку с открытыми плечами и длинными рукавами, а также в длинные штаны. На шее у нее висит ожерелье с талисманом. Волосы у нее средней длины, и она смотрит в сторону. Правая рисунок показывает ту же девушку, но только с головой и плечами, без нижней части тела. Обе рисунки выполнены в мягких, плавных линиях, что придает им нежный и детский вид.

I think I'm misunderstanding something about snapshots on fedora
Just installed fedora to replace windows 10. I've used mint and ubuntu as a general purpose os in the past but it's been a few years and I was never a power user, just learned what I needed as I went.
I remember it being important to use timeshift to safeguard against breaking something with updates, but it seems like timeshift doesn't work on fedora. Rather, you can get it to work on fedora but it's not supported. The thing that is confusing me is, searching for a way to do snapshots on fedora, I haven't really found what I expected? There's nothing I can see in software or flathub, timeshift or the alternatives mentioned on forums. I'm think I'm going to proceed with figuring out snapper using btrfs assistant as a gui...
But, given that I remember timeshift being basically recommended all the time to everyone when I used to use linux, I can't find anyone all that interested in using snapshots with fedora. Is it not necessary with fedora? Does fedora somehow handle that already? I can make do with the information I can find, but I'm wondering why there is so little information about it at all. I can't really find anything that suggests it's important to make snapshots. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? Can someone help me understand this better?
