Republican Karl Rove says Trump got crushed by a woman he called dumb as a rock' during train wreck' debate
www.independent.co.uk

... Karl Rove, the Republican political consultant and deputy chief of staff in the George W Bush administration, has pulled no punches in an op-ed saying that Donald Trump's debate against Kamala Harris was a "train wreck" for him.

Calling Trump's debate performance "catastrophic", he goes as far as to say that he was "crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as dumb as a rock'."

Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Rove says the former president's performance was "far worse than anything Team Trump could have imagined" and Trump was "visibly rattled" as Harris "launched rocket after rocket at him." ...

Martha Stewart makes her endorsement in the 2024 presidential race

... While all the talk of campaign endorsements revolved around Taylor Swift this week, earlier on Tuesday, before the presidential debate, home and hospitality magnate Martha Stewart made her choice.

In an onstage interview with Joanna Coles, chief creative and content officer for the Daily Beast, at the 2024 Retail Influencer CEO Forum, Stewart said she would absolutely be tuning in to the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

"Oh, you bet," she said, before revealing her choice of candidate.

"Kamala," she stated, emphasizing the correct pronunciation.

Stewart explained that she supports the vice president because she wants a president "who doesn't hate New York" and "doesn't hate democracy." ...

Days of preparation and one final warning. How Kamala Harris got ready for her big debate moment
apnews.com

... It was almost time for the presidential debate, but Kamala Harris' staff thought there was one more thing she needed to know. So less than an hour before the vice president left her Philadelphia hotel, two communications aides got her on the phone for one of the strangest briefings of her political career.

They told her that Donald Trump had been posting on social media about a false and racist rumor that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people's pets. The former president might mention it during the debate, they said.

The warning, described by two people with knowledge of the conversation, proved spot on.

While answering a question about immigration policy, Trump said migrants in Springfield were "eating the dogs" and "they're eating the cats." Harris laughed, shook her head and stared at her Republican opponent in amazement. "Talk about extreme," she said, and then moved on. ...

...
What do you want from life?
To kidnap an heiress
Or threaten her with a knife?
What do you want from life?
To get cable TV
And watch it every night?

There you sit, a
Lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
And what do you wear
When you're sleeping

What do you want from life?
An Indian guru
To show you the inner light?
What do you want from life?
A meaningless love affair
With a girl that you met tonight?

How can you tell when you're doin' alright?
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night?
How do you know when you're really in love?
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving?

Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Springfield Bomb Threat Response
www.newsweek.com

... Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for failing to denounce the bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday.

As reported by Newsweek and The Associated Press earlier this week, an emailed threat said bombs had been planted in the homes of Springfield's mayor and other city officials. A second email said that bombs would be detonated at locations including Springfield City Hall, several schools, and offices, leading to several evacuations.

In addition, there was an emailed threat regarding a potential shooting on campus at Wittenberg University, a private liberal arts college in the city, leading to school evacuations and the canceling of planned events.

In a statement, the university said: "Wittenberg University is currently taking extreme precautions following an email sent Saturday, Sept. 14, that threatened a potential shooting on-campus on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The message targeted Haitian members of our community. Wittenberg Police are cooperating with the Springfield Police Division and the FBI to investigate this threat."

The bomb and shooting threats followed derogatory statements made by Trump about Haitian immigrants in the community.

In Tuesday's debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump said, "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs"the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

In footage reposted online, the Republican presidential nominee was asked by a reporter in Las Vegas on Saturday: "Do you denounce the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio?"

Trump avoided answering the question directly, saying: "I don't know what happened with the bomb threats," before implying the real threat is at the border: "I know that it's been taken over by illegal migrants and that's a terrible thing that happened.

"Springfield was this beautiful town and now they're going through hell. It's a sad thing. Not going to happen with me, I can tell you right now." ...

ZFS
en.wikipedia.org

... ZFS (previously Zettabyte File System) is a file system with volume management capabilities. It began as part of the Sun Microsystems Solaris operating system in 2001.

Large parts of Solaris, including ZFS, were published under an open source license as OpenSolaris for around 5 years from 2005 before being placed under a closed source license when Oracle Corporation acquired Sun in 2009 - 2010. During 2005 to 2010, the open source version of ZFS was ported to Linux, Mac OS X (continued as MacZFS) and FreeBSD.

In 2010, the illumos project forked a recent version of OpenSolaris, including ZFS, to continue its development as an open source project.

In 2013, OpenZFS was founded to coordinate the development of open source ZFS.[3][4][5] OpenZFS maintains and manages the core ZFS code, while organizations using ZFS maintain the specific code and validation processes required for ZFS to integrate within their systems. OpenZFS is widely used in Unix-like systems.[6][7][8]

Overview

The management of stored data generally involves two aspects: the physical volume management of one or more block storage devices (such as hard drives and SD cards), including their organization into logical block devices as VDEVs (ZFS Virtual Device)[9] as seen by the operating system (often involving a volume manager, RAID controller, array manager, or suitable device driver); and the management of data and files that are stored on these logical block devices (a file system or other data storage). ...

Yeah, there are some things that drew me to ZFS. The first was the inherent integrity checking.

Every time ZFS retrieves a block of data from the disk, it checks the checksum of that block with the checksum that was stored when that block was initially stored. If the checksum fails, then ZFS goes to the redundant storage for that block, and (this is the important part) other things happen.

Those other things involve making a new redundant copy of that block of data so that there remains the redundancy. Also (in my configuration) sending an email to inform someone that there has been a problem with a disk drive. An early warning, so to speak. This is the point where I buy a disk drive to replace the faulty one.

Oh, this is way cool.

At this point the operating system does not know of the problem because ZFS resolved it.

But when ZFS begins to have issues resolving disk drive issues within its RAID (in my experience, this is about two weeks later), then it bumps the messaging up to the OS level, and I will see FreeBSD (the OS) sending me emails about drive errors. This is not A Good Thing.

Still, no data loss at this point because of the redundancy. But there are warnings that the redundancy is beginning to fail. At this time I have the replacement drive in hand. (thank-you...www.bhphotovideo.com ).

So I replace the questionable drive with the new on and run the appropriate ZFS command to re-establish the redundancy.

With my usage of ZFS (because of my back-up strategy), I have only one-drive redundancy. ZFS allows multiple-drive redundancy.

And, regarding ZFS and FreeBSd...

If you watch videos on Netflix, guess the origin of those videos? Yeah, FreeBSD and ZFS. And major kudos to Netflix, their techies have contributed majorly back to FreeBSD and ZFS.
