"In computing, a symbolic link (also symlink or soft link) is a file whose purpose is to point to a file or directory (called the "target") by specifying a path thereto."
I tried borg and liked it but I couldn't see how to purge 'file.big' out of prior backups. i.e. one you knew for sure you didn't need any more and would achieve disk space recovery.
That's a weak snipe against someone who's only enforcing posted guidelines, and in doing so gives us this great outlet to have discussion about topics like these.
I dunno, but honestly so far, HN seems to be much more free speech and free debate-focused than any other social platform I've seen. Not sure where you got this from.

Count Dankula has a good episode about that freak. In summary Crowley was, via inheritance, a VERY rich kid weirdo that rapidly progressed to being insane. He went up a hill or two.
Nah, he wouldn't be banned. He's too weird and not political enough.
He'd be like a cross between a new age guru, Jordan Peterson, and one of those amateur porn people that use YouTube to steer people to their OnlyFans. He would also probably have an OnlyFans, a Tumblr, a Patreon for his cult, a Podcast, and Twitter of course. Big time influencer vibes.
Yes, he would have been, or would have escalated to get banned.
Remember, when he had a dispute with someone local to him in England, he came in the front door unnanounced when the house had guests, went to their living room coffee table, pulled his pants down, and proceeded to poop on their coffee table *in front of everyone*.. And then left.
If he were in the Streaming era, this would have been streamed. No doubt. And he would have been summarily banned.
That's a good point. Come to think of it, today's professional trolls are pretty similar. They just do the online version of that stunt, but with racism or digs at LGBT people instead of turds.

The current trend is that people from nations that were colonisers are the cause of, and are responsible for, the woes of descendants of colonised peoples. It's good to see that you can see through the bullshit too.
There are only select groups that can invest in property, they must reach the baseline investment sum and ongoing payback before they can play the game. Having unchecked offshore ownership is massively damaging to the local people, it raises the bar all that much more. Offshore control of property can easily be weaponised, where it's not about investment but instead about legal denial of property to the locals.

What? I don't think that's what the OP is saying at all? If the descendants of colonizers and the colonized peoples have been living in the same country for centuries, what does this have to do with foreign investment in local assets?

>NZ suffers from some of this.
Given all of the geopolitical problems China's creating now that was absolutely the right call. Of course the country's still massively exposed with more than 30% of the economy built on trade with China. We've effectively handed an authoritarian regime a button which when pushed will trigger the outright destruction of our economy, and there aren't any politicians in parliament with the intelligence or foresight to see why that's a problem.
It wasn't until the 1800s that hand washing was tied to health (Semmelweis). The 1300s would have been a filthy, filthy existence it's not a great surprise the plague spread like wildfire (past its initial vector). Basic hygiene has helped humanity massively.

That is how you die, regardless of events it's ultimately brain death due to lack of oxygen to the brain - pray your heart stops one day (everything else is worse).
> Dying of respiratory or cardiac failure is horrifying enough
I know you were making a reference to c19. Yes, being kept in solitary confinement while you suffocate to death by order of the state would be a miserable way to go (tax extracted and left in an "exit room").
Here in NZ the state forced an elderly man to watch from the roadside as his wife was buried but politicians were allowed to go swimming during the same lock down... Disgusting.
I hope no one has to work with you, you're insufferable.
