I'm currently working on a project in C where I have a choice between using a library for hash tables or simply creating my own hash table from scratch.

What would look better on a Github portfolio from an employability perspective?

Carney, 59, kicked off his campaign to take the reins of the governing party at the Edmonton-area hockey rink where he learned to skate as a boy while growing up on the Prairies.

"I'm doing this because Canada is the best country in the world, but it still could be even better," Carney said.

The Harvard-educated Carney said he has the economic bona fides needed to steer Canada through a period of uncertainty as the country stares down president-elect Donald Trump and the threat of punishing tariffs on all our goods.

Carney said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is the "worst possible" choice to put on the other side of the negotiating table with Trump.

Original Title: Anti-science movements are associated with harassment of—and violence against—scientists. A new study found that science cynicism (the perception that scientists are incompetent and corrupt) and Dark personality traits (psychopathy and narcissism), predict the willingness to harm scientists.

I have for a while a ubuntu server where I selfhost for my household syncthing (automatic backup of most important files on devices), baïkal, magic mirror and a few other things via docker.

I was looking at what I have now (leftovers of a computer of mine, amd 2600 with 16 gb ram with a 1660 super and a western digital blue ssd of 512GB), and regarding storage wise, at the time I decided to get several sort of cheap ssd's to have enough initial space (made a logical volume out of 3 crucial mx500 1TB, in total making 3TB). At the time I though I wanted to avoid regular hdd at all costs (knew people who had issues with it), but in hindsight, I never worked with NAS drives, so my fear over these hdd with such low usage is sort of uncalled for.

So now I am trying to understand what can I change this setup so I can expand later if needed, but also having a bit more space already (for the personal stuff I have around 1.5TB of data) and add a bit more resilience in case something happens. Another goal is to try to make a 3-2-1 backup kind of solution (starting with the setup at home, with an external disk already and later a remote backup location). Also, I will probably decommission for now the ssd's since I want to avoid to have a logical volumes (something happens on one drive, and puff all the data goes away). So my questions regarding this are:

• For hdd's to be used as long term storage, what is usually the rule of thumb? Are there any recommendations on what drives are usually better for this?
• Considering this is going to store personal documents and photos, is RAID a must in your opinion? And if so, which configuration?
• And in case RAID would be required, is ubuntu server good enough for this? or using something such as unraid is a must?
• I was thinking of probably trying to sell the 1660 super while it has some market value. However, I was never able to have the server completely headless. Is there a way to make this happen with a msi tomahawk b450? Or is only possible with an APU (such as 5600g)?

Thanks in advance

PS: If you guys find any glaring issues with my setup and know a tip or two, please share them so I can also understand better this selfhosted landscape :)

Amazon has paused testing of its delivery drones following a crash involving two of those drones, according to Bloomberg.

I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.

You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center

Explanation for newbies:

• Shell is the programming language that you use when you open a terminal on linux or mac os. Well, actually "shell" is a family of languages with many different implementations (bash, dash, ash, zsh, ksh, fish, ....)

• Writing programs in shell (called "shell scripts") is a harrowing experience because the language is optimized for interactive use at a terminal, not writing extensive applications

• The two lines in the meme change the shell's behavior to be slightly less headache-inducing for the programmer:

  • set -euo pipefail is the short form of the following three commands:
    • set -e: exit on the first command that fails, rather than plowing through ignoring all errors
    • set -u: treat references to undefined variables as errors
    • set -o pipefail: If a command piped into another command fails, treat that as an error
  • export LC_ALL=C tells other programs to not do weird things depending on locale. For example, it forces seq to output numbers with a period as the decimal separator, even on systems where coma is the default decimal separator (russian, dutch, etc.).

• The title text references "posix", which is a document that standardizes, among other things, what features a shell must have. Posix does not require a shell to implement pipefail, so if you want your script to run on as many different platforms as possible, then you cannot use that feature.

Original Title: Research reveals that the energy sector is creating a myth that individual action is enough to address climate change. This way the sector shifts responsibility to consumers by casting the individuals as 'net-zero heroes', which reduces pressure on industry and government to take action.

Summary

Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, hinted at the existence of an "enemies list" during her confirmation hearing.

When questioned by Senators Hirono and Whitehouse, Bondi avoided disavowing the list or denying potential targeting of individuals like Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Merrick Garland.

She defended Trump’s FBI pick, Kash Patel, who previously alluded to such a list in his book, Government Gangsters.

Critics fear the Justice Department could be weaponized against political opponents under Bondi and Trump’s leadership.
